does anybody have intel on princeton?

me too; he wasn't in my sop.

both. sometimes in adcomm folks too.

hahaha, me too! his area code came up as berkeley so i thought it was a followup from uc. then he said stanford, and i started babbling. we ended up talking about napa wine country, which was unexpected but awesome. for those asking, i'm americanist.

here to claim a stanford admit!!!! promise i'm not a troll. call from paul sniderman. am going berserk sitting in my cubicle. best of luck to everyone!

congrats to the stanford admit!!!! heart racing now....

institutions more so, but a lil of both.

sure thing; americanist. best of luck everyone! it's not even 1pm in Berkeley... plenty of time for calls.

in at berkeley! call from POI around 3pm est.

claiming another austin spot! the one day i'm too busy to check all day and an acceptance comes in. gradcafe = watched pot.

came across this earlier and thought i'd pass along. interesting info for stanford applicants (and others) on the adcomm process: http://jackman.stanford.edu/papers/pa04.pdf (just in case you want to sink more time in trying to read their minds )

hahaha, yes! in my case, i wish it was stanford, but yes!

ahhh, well that doesn't bode well for me. no nashville in my future, i suppose, but best of luck to those who have interviewed!

for other vandy-applicants: if we aren't contacted for an interview, you think we should assume rejection? do they interview all accepts?

very similar v & q scores to mine, and i've had a bit of luck so far. and from what i've heard from faculty, the writing section doesn't carry a lot of weight, especially since they have your SOP and writing sample to look at. keep the faith!
