Fall 2010 Admission Results

[Rory]

Now someone is apparently waitlisted at Princeton. Has anyone here heard anything at all from them?

silence on my end...I can't take this anxiety!!!

[SuddenlyParanoid]

Silent on my end too.

This seriously doesn't make any sense. It's very possible that someone is sitting there posting a whole bunch of Princeton results just for fun. If that's true, someone needs to get a life. I say we don't worry until someone here actually hears something.

Agreed. BTW, seriously this person putting negative votes needs to STOP!

[bsquar]

Nothing from Princeton here either.

[fromark17]

I've also got nothing from Princeton. With the volume of results and the fact that they're acceptances and rejections, you'd think one of us would have gotten an email. Clearly suspicious.

Haha thanks ... and i thought changing my user name would help.

Lol, let the kids have fun. It's not like those votes mean anything to anyone besides the jealous people who like to satisfy themselves like that

[CrimsonBlue]

Haha thanks ... and i thought changing my user name would help.

Also, you're Macchiato now!!!

[Cantabrigian]

Ok this is F'ED if these are fake posts. I had to create an account to second what everyone else is saying: nothing from P'ton.

[ladedodaday]

Silent on my end too.

Until SuddenlyParanoid gets in, I think we can assume they are probably false.

Wish you had to be registered to post decisions

truth

[Rory]

ugh, I'm almost tempted to call and ask whether decisions have been sent out...but then, I would also like to retain some semblance of sanity....

The gradcafe administrators likely log IP addresses and will be able to tell if this is all from the same person (unless they use proxy servers).

I think you, along with the rest of us, lost any semblance of sanity when you decided to apply for a phd in poli sci :D

Yes, something is definitely fishy with Princeton. Anyone know if they are even open?

[It'sgonnabeme]

haha oh i know (and i think there are certainly people here more worthy to be jealous of ... suddenlyparanoid has so many top acceptances i've stopped keeping track ). i actually changed it mostly to try to regain some semblance of anonymity. i know it's late in the game, but better late than never.

You scored with the name change. And yes, SuddenlyParanoid should be the perfect target of those jealousy votes

Yep, they are open today:

"Due to the snow storm, Princeton University has delayed its opening until 10 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 11, for non-critical staff. All critical and essential employees should report to work at their normal duty times. Academic classes will be held as scheduled."

That would make the database much smaller and therefore less useful. Sure, there's occasional pranksters, but people shouldn't be obligated to make a forum account to give us useful data.

Honestly, if we weren't in the throes of admissions season RIGHT NOW, I suspect everyone would agree that an anonymous db is the best way to go.

It is open with some professors not on campus.

Princeton is open. However, this is most likely a hoax because rejection letters come from the Dean of the Graduate School (William B. Russel), and not Danette Rivera, as the most recent post states.

I was wondering - I was like "that person has EXACTLY teh same profile as cpaige".

[plisar]

Why does being open matter? Decisions cannot be communicated from the comfort of one's home office?

I hope its not a hoax, actually...at least that way we would all hear by the end of today/tomorrow...

...and it would also mean that some crazy person isn't sitting there typing entry after entry for the better part of an hour...

Sure they CAN be sent from home, but would they? Who knows, really.

[Ziz]

I would also like to believe it isn't a hoax, but how come NONE of us have heard ANYTHING? Wouldn't they just send a mass rejection? With all due respect to everyone on this board, surely at least one person who applied (most likely me) would have had the mass rejection wouldn't they?
