#Princeton REA (2022-2023)
1 messages ยท Page 5 of 1
UCLA looks amazing though
yea i love the area and campus
My school does trimesters and just automatically sent them in so I didnโt
i just love princeton more LOL
idek if i got a first quarter grade request but i hope so cause senioritis hadn't hit yet
fair enough yeah
It is absolutely hitting me rn
Kek I did not, so I'm fully expecting a rejection at this point
second q was rough for me
nah could mean youre a clear admit upon first readthrough
if Princeton lets me in Iโm never submitting an assignment again Fr
yeah lowkey my grades are not too hot rn but they were good for q1 so im just ๐
honestly you have a super good shot rn based on the fact you got a request
it means you're actually being considered
ahhhh im on so much hopium mannn
I think the grades request is generally a good thing these
yeah
did you submit test scores?
yea
me too
i am coping with the idea that Princeton didn't need my first q grades, but I really don't think i'm getting in
Also me too
btw is everyone here other than me Asian or are you all just gamers
ur taking calc 3 tho and other advanced courses tho, right?
yea im asian
Asian ye
Okay there
yeah, but idk lol
specifically ORM asian
(korean)
do you think they differentiate based on that
i finished my calc 3 course final yesterday
yes
Mongolian =/= chinese
it felt so good
what Asians are underrepresented
no more math for the rest of high school
southeastern and central asians
o nice i got linear next semester
same
linear will suck
nahhh i aint tryna do linear next sem LOLLL
no east asian is chinese
I READ EVERUTHING I MISSED YAYYYY
wait whatโs central then
Took me 15 minutes ๐งโโ๏ธ
Kazakhstan (and the rest of the -stans)
Galactic ur literally more than qualified. Ur gonna get in.
!princeton
Southeastern is like Vietnam?
yea
yea
I always counted Kazakhstan as stuff as being in the Middle East I guess itโs Asian though
unfortunately I could not hide my race
last name screwed me over LMAO (I'm not getting into politics no worries)
my last name is so Hispanic lmao
kazak's look pretty asian
my last name also gives it away ๐ฉ
one of my korean friends last name is hahn tho
so it's like
I have never seen that last name
My last name is like one of the most common ones in Puerto Rico
not a bad sentiment
But unforuntately I am not idealistic enough to say that
no u
thank you โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
How is everybody planning on opening it ?
Some of us have got to get in right
alone or with one v close friend
Imagine we all get rejected ๐๐๐
w my parents and sister standing behind me ๐
no way
might vid call some friends
i honestly think all of you guys who got grade requests are getting in
idk we'll see 
i hope so ;-;
welp ๐งโโ๏ธ getting rejected then
I think that I'm going to buy some Chimaek if i don't get in
Its going to be* expensive but whatever
nah but not getting it doesnt eliminate you
same :(:(:(
nah guys getting something or not getting something doesnt mean anything
lets cry together ๐ญ
scary thing is its probably how the ao was feeling
do you think that applying ea for cs might be helpful cause they know i couldn't do like mit or caltech or any of the bigger ones so their yield is better on me?
yep
marginally yeah
afaik they dont really consider majors
maybe probably hopefully
but kinda
this is the aforementioned mental gymnastics
yep
imagine if my guy was like sick that day
And just rejected me off that
Idk how I'm going to focus for my bio exam tomorrow ๐ฆ
i would be so mad
damn
they better have read my file right after a nice lunch
same
how many ppl do u think apply for music?
i don't know any personally
dunno, not many? id guess like <100 in rea round?
weโre safe ๐
Princeton doesnโt admit by major
what are you applying for?
music
hush hush hush we know they lie
LMFAO
they prob saw my other ecs tho and were prob like "this stem kid thinks he can be cheeky by applying as music major ๐ "
more specifically what music lmao (do you want to pursue)
true but majors like music and cs are always a bit unique
๐ญ oh no
โฆcs?
vocal arts :)
yeah a bad way
๐ญ
i prob wanna do something stem and get a music performance certificate
even if they claim to not admit by major
yes i ageee
music could be higher or lower i have no idea
cuz they need to fill up the majors appropriately. So major does count i think ๐ญ
Asian male CS from bay area, unhooked
Fortunately I am a bit better off as a premed asian male from NOVA, unhooked
if they truly didnโt pick by major Iโd expect way more CS majors
^
^^
I don't believe that universities ever tell the truth about admission calculations
oh man
wait wrong guy
sry
meant to respond to saccharine
out of curiosity, why go premed Princeton
Isn't pton like the only school that doesn't let you view your file after you're accepted
Yeah and i think they care about aid cuz they said on common app โdo you plan to pursue financial aid?โ ๐ญ like ur need blind so why do u need to see that???
isnโt it known for grade deflation
SPIA is one of the most popular majors I think
nah i dont think so
But all my ECs are politics/community service oriented so whatever
because I am a masochist
but princeton is super undergrad focused so I don't want to compete with grad students at all
i think theyre just asking straight up if you need aid or not
no clue
but it's def not factored into the admission decision
๐ญ idk i just find it suspicious whenever schools say we dont look at it but then they ask for it
I trust them on that yeah they donโt need to take any full pay kids
they're super cagey especially recently
Endowment is massive
so are lots of other ivies though tbh
law schools as well have been saying they'll hide stats
maybe it's a good thing; theyre tryna be more generous in admissions while not trying to compromise their national ranking
this
i would say hopium, but i do think this is correct (from an outsider view)
maybe. I have chance with my bootiful gpa guys ๐ฅฒ
yea idk the truth LOL
that's optimistic but i feel like they got more selective and want people with no shot of getting in to still apply ๐ญ
Hiding their stats is a good thing mostly, they can admit more people with lower stats + expand their class size and have a higher acceptance rate
hmm this could def be true too
YUH 3.56 gpa coming throughhfhejhxs
you hear that junghyui? You got a solid chance ๐
their acceptance rate must be going up every year they are accepting a larger class every year
YUHHHCIWHXHUA
guys lets party now LMFAO
i cannot celebrate early
lmao
Let's not count our eggs before they hatch ๐ฆ
that's setting myself up for failure
nah we should celebrate failure :) makes us better ppl
I cannot type in korean for the life of me, so romanization it is
lmao bro at one point i tried learning the korean keyboard
but it's too hard
i need the visual clues from the phone
I can't sleep
๐ญ yall just type Junghee
The 3 by 3 one on the phone is so much better
yea fr
!princeton
Bro
wow its so close
that's not very many hours...
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
guys lets. Gather around the campfire and sing ๐๐บ
I sing like a dying hyena
No can do
Every time someone types "!princeton" my blood pressure spikes lol
same lmfao
๐ญ
kind soul, thank you
thank you ๐ lul
๐
I don't actually know of any kids from my graduating class at my school who applied rea pton

JOSH C
yeah my violinist friend knows him
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
and im sure her clarinet friends do too LMAO
damnnnn ur vibrato goes hard

Everyone can sing :)
I wish i was somewhat musically inclined
I've been playing piano for most of my life, but I never really practiced so I still suck
my vocal range is that of a single tuning fork
๐ญ
me fr
i sing in quarter tones
i wanna join the Tigerlilies at Princeton
i wanna join opus so bad
like ๐
the last guy from my school that went to princeton is in opus
and hes graduating this year
so like
if they need a new pianist
๐
LMAO
IM READY
ez acceptance
I lowkey wanna do accapella at Princeton or just join a band
I wanna be in a rock band that plays at the eating clubs
Dream
I will gladly listen to you
but from a recording at my local community college
because that's where i'm headed
STOP you guys are great stop saying that ๐ญ
nahhhh u got thissss
oooo TigerTones? :0 i think thats what theyre called
Omg we can both go to nova
nova is a great school yeah
Yeah.
what are yall doing ๐
๐
School cancelled LMAO
its 11:30 for meeee sooo
"studying" for my stat test
snow day baby
bruh what
2 hours delay for me still ๐ฆ
my schools gotten canceled for heat days a couple of times LOL
bc we didnt have ac in freshman year
๐ญ
writing a dogshit paper
Iโm so scared
No ac in the dorms guys ๐ญ at least most of them
my semester ends in mid january ๐ญ
lowkey nice though
dont have to worry about finals until after all my college apps
wait that's so true
๐งโโ๏ธyall its beginning to look a lot like christmas ๐
i only had to take one real final and it was yesterday
dang
my school classes are p chill this year
and i survived my cc classes
so im basically
free
for the rest of the year
I would honestly die if I took phys C this year
I am still suffering rn though lmao
i took it and it's so hard
mech this semseter and e and m next semester
rip to both of yous
i'll actually fail e and m
๐ธ flying money :0
but if i get into princeton i'm refunding those exams cause princeton physics is pretty cool
currently multivar is 50% of my studying
25% is science olympiad shit
The rest is literally cramming the day before class
multi and physics are the only things i study for
my work habits are so messed up
pton freshmen take like 4 classes so we'll be fine
and us in multi probably have to retake
i will because I didn't take the DE credit my school offers
cause i bs'd my class so hard this semester LOL
and i'm not 100% on the math requirements for med school
dang even if i tried i couldn't have tested out
as long as you pass the class with a C lmao
ah i see
RIP
I wish it was already 7 pm
It's not for us either
A normal teacher teaches it, we can just buy de credit for $500
i open it at 4 pm my time
i wanna just sleep and skip school
oh waht
so like right after school ๐งโโ๏ธ
thinking about the decision earlier made me feel so sick
that's so early in the day yikes
isn't that a good thing though? No more waiting around after school for your decision
imagine applying from hawaii
ya its gonna set my mood
opening in school ๐
๐ ๐
I am physically sick to my stomach rn
same :(
although that might just be because im awake from coffee and its 3 am
Honestly at this point
I will take a defer
just don't give me a rejection or I will burst into tears
yeah fr tho like if i get straight up rejected im actually gonna cry
actually im prob gonna cry no matter what the result is LOL
well
I'm going to close discord because I need to finish studying
hopefully my 2-hour delay turns into a close cyall at 7 pm
shush.

๐

i know its gonna be a deferral or rejection
but i can pray for the deferral at least
cuz i aint no galactic

๐ญ

i read on the princeton reddit that they accepted ppl with my gpa
and that they really do look at the whole picture
i think i have a shot after all
!princeton
Do counselous find out about our decisions before we do?
ok and so they dont know until we tell them right?

!princeton
Damn
Iโve been preparing myself with the rejection simulator
!princeton

That's the move to make the time pass honestly
i prob wont open right at 6 bcuz ill be eating then showering
yh I am proly not going to get sleep tonight
all i want for christmas is an acceptance to princeton university
(my letter to pton after my deferral)
is it true that rea is mainly for legacies and atheletes
nah i doubt it
you were in like the comments section of some girl posting her vanderbilt acceptance reaction or something ๐ญ
HAHAHA YESS i got a bunch of likes on that comment
i comment on all of the college decision reactions
to claim and manifest
my fyp has just bean that for the last like two weeks i want it to stop
same
im so tired.
whenever i see the reactions of ppl getting rejected i skip it
to not claim their bad vibes
!princeton
!princeton

!princeton
!princeton
!princeton
i literally had "I Love Kanye" by Kanye but changed it to daft punk
I did kid cudi
Oh my god
What song
Love
6 hours 2 minute
@unkempt widget no its in another channel
o
so scary ๐ญ
its so weird ๐งโโ๏ธ cant believe im applying to colleges
Wait which page is this on?
guys the princeton application portal hasnt been opening for me for quite a while now ,
like a week
it keeps showing this
even though all other sites are working perfectly
Huh itโs working fine for me
i have no idea what is happenning
!princeton
i legit cant focus in school
same
! princeton
i want to go home and watch christmas movies
i want to go home and sleep :(
i finished my chem exam in half the time cuz i decided to not check my answers at all ๐คฃ
no ๐ญ
it shows up for me sometimes when i log in
I have never gotten that page
mf is on the stanford, yale, princeton, swarthmore threads
he was commenting about caltech
๐
that is so annoying legit
how would they even catch someone like that tho
if they dont , I am gonna be hella pissed
guys im nervous. The past princeton professor said theyre looking for kids like me when they read my essays. So im taking that as a good sign.
but then my gpa is the only problem
u think theyd give me a shot? ๐ญ
how did u get a professor to read your essays?
Parents found em. Theyre a professor at UCLA
were your essays more
achievement oriented
emotion oriented
service oriented
?
or something else oriented ?
it was more about what i would offer to the school.
ah
im planning on going to the olympics so i wrote about the time i beat a past olympian at a competition
damn
Cuz it shows that i can be in the olympians since i beat one previously
and then i talked about my ulcerative colitis and how that inspired me in studying music and how music heals people
yeah fs
that sounds great
๐
i feel like my essays were more
emotion oriented
i tried to show that i was a person
and let my ecs and awards sections speak for themselves
sounds great :D
!princeton
oh this page just showed up for me for the first time
it usually immediately sent me to the application where it says status
how do you get there
it showed up
huh wack i cant get to it
did yall get the q1 req
yeah it prob doesn't mean anything
i did
just which page u access the portal from
next year is lucky bc if last year got the req and this year got the req and both show acceptance, they know early asf
yea
we talked about it so much this year LMAO
i was also dming a guy that got in this year through questbridge
he got the req too
yoo SAME dude
LOLLL
he sent you those like 30 screenshots or smtg
wait last year got q1 reqs ?
someone said that the ppl who didnt submit test score usually get it
like all REA acceptances ?
wait what are q1 reqs?
i submitted a test score
the sample size was like 1 or 2
They are supposed to be
yea i submitted test score too
no ๐ญ ppl who havent gotten it got in too
yeah and of everyone i looked at, like 15/16 got accepted
thank god
one got deferred
same pattern for questbridge this year
but you can get in w/o it as well
some schools do a quarter system. Some do semester.
it really varies on the school
yea i was looking at last years thread and it seemed like ppl that got the request that didnt get in rea were ppl who were on trimester system or had bad quarter grades
and if ur on the edge of acceptance
oh mine is a annual system
and there was one more that had no explanation
oof
yeah so ๐ญ ur all good
My school does quarters but only puts yearly grades on my transcript so I just did annual
thats interesting
me with a B in calc bc
sem yup
calc bc is hard
but i had an explanation bc i was in the ER
ok ๐
idk we'll see how it pans out today anyway
someone has also said: people who didnt get the request couldve had no doubt that its an acceptance
We have semester classes too but they donโt report semester grades
ye agreed
i believe solely in the acceptance letter
They just make the credit weighting half a credit versus an full credit
so like yall. The q1 grades could literally mean nothing ๐ญ
i dont think a B in calc bc will move u to the defer pile
i believe in nothing
yea we're not saying it's indicative of anything. theres correlation but we cant establish causation
ap stats moment ๐
Bro ur double legacy ur fine
facts
this
ngl galactic if you dont get in id be genuinely shocked
^
im gonna feel so bad if im the only person who gets in here dawg
Same
like galactic. Everytime u feel anxious. We become like 100x more anxious cuz of ur amazing stats
yea but you deserve it with all ur stats
you dont have to worry about that lol im coming for you
i live in your walls
LOL
๐ณ
imma get in >:(
i'm so anxious guys aaaa
i want nothing more than to just be done with college apps
weโll all get in >:(
Iโm not even worrying cuz itโs just a college
Nothing more than the name tbh
You can go places at other colleges dw
im more concerned about it cuz it has exactly what i wanna study
so i would be devasted cuz i dont really care about the name
i just wanna be there studying specifically what they offer
Thatโs understandable
Good luck my guy
thank you :(
Did the withdraw button disappear
if not princeton, we goin to a party school
YUHHH
What do you wanna major in
wait youre right
so, i have a win-win situation; get into princeton or get bitches
music! They have this program with music is medicine. Its something thats very personal to me cuz of my disease and i wanna be a part of the research process
Public schools do that well
eh
noooooo
then she posted like her and 10 dudes on her story was interesting
u gotta do what u gotta do sometimes ig ๐
Wow very nice
real
Good reasoning
yeah :) i hope to get in! I have the professors book! The one who is in charge.
I want it signed ngl ๐งโโ๏ธ
hope you get in too
the only thing i want signed is my acceptance letter by karen richardson ๐ฉ
LOL
karen ๐
music LOL
oh interesting
music buddies ๐
at princeton.......
equal amount of music and stem
your a masochist
LOL
guys 5 hours
im down for a bunch of certificates tho
i remember when i applied i thought about doing a 3 year degree instead of 4
๐ณ
yeah nvm LOL
princeton is a harddd ass name though
FRRR
it sounds so fire to say
its approaching
best name
encroaching upon us
imagine telling someone in another country "i go to brown"
โI go to dartmouth. My mascot looks like a creepy canโ
also pton mascot best mascot
yes we get a cute tiger
simple but goes hard
๐ฏ
my last name literally means "lions roar" in a foreign language
LOL YES
so it was meant to be
tigers growl right
my last name means lion lol
LOL
no way
!princeton
it was meant to be
easy
yessirrrr
the a2c banner for today is so lit
how are we feeling
fr bro
"Prepare for the worst..."
"...hope for the best"
^^
staph
lets be
positive
No matter the outcome
weโll find our place in life
and weโll be happy
feels unreal to me
same
i just applied yesterday wdym we have <5 hours left
same
ikr
i like how i try to stay positive but my heart is pounding
my choir teacher thinks imma get in ๐งโโ๏ธ that means a good reccomendation. Right? ๐ญ
u sent in music teacher recommendation?
shes my AP Music theory teacher too
hmmmm
thought it would be better cuz it fits the major im going for ๐งโโ๏ธ
i sent in my math and history teacher bc i thought they wanted them from the core classes
my other recommendation is AP psychology
my band teacher lor is fire tho
i picked them cuz they fit my theme
you didnโt add as additional recommender?
i think they do want a core class teacher rec so i did add my psych teacher
but at the end of the day ๐งโโ๏ธ mah major is music
i did my private piano teacher and church pastor
bc they had even better letters LOL
LMAOOO w
dang
I just had two teachers my outside Rec was my city councilmember which should be good
damnnnnn
if u dare say โim gonna be deferredโ i will smacc
like
ur beyond qualified plus ur a legacy
๐ญ how can u not be accepted
Itโs extremely competitive
I asked my bio and English teacher and for additional recc I got one from my national debate coach
i think theyre also flexible on the core classes thing. Cuz they said they want ppl to take 4 years of a language but ppl who didnt still got in
its probably the quality of the app that matters the most
4:20 remaining
#just donโt
Just get accepted itโs easy lol
Just like donโt get rejected ๐
thatโs what iโm saying
no cuz it makes me feel worse ๐ญ
Did you all get interviews?
I did
yeah
I couldve sworn there was an option to withdraw
