They don't officially do it anymore, but apparently remnants of the policy remain

Do they lower our highschool grades or our college grades?

Why would lowering high school grades matter lmao

Wow I'm getting rejected

Big decrease in deferred though. I feel like thatโ€™s better though.. Iโ€™d rather be outright rejected than have to wait so much longer and be rejected again

My school doesnโ€™t weight but I had a 98 average with 13 APs + all honors outside of health class

1580 SAT

I thought I had a chance at a deferral. At least a deferral. I worked hard on my application. I conquered a disease so I could at least be well before I go to college. I competed for archery even when I was sick. I don't understand why my numbers defined me. I don't understand why all my efforts have gone to waste. I'm so heartbroken. I thought I would be ok but I spent 7 years dreaming of this school.

Im also a Latino and both my parents which definitely helped me a ton

looks like deferral rate is lower than usual this year?

#

from what ive been seeing on a2c reddit/college confidential its p much an equal rate of defers and rejects

maybe we'll still have a chance

good things coming for everyone

#

good vibes to everyone

#

rejected, deferred, and admitted

#

we are all worthy and this doesnt change that

#

we have worked so hard

#

and it will pay off

jade lion
#

how to console my deferred gf? she is so sad and desperate...

fossil ermine
#

i'm also deferred so maybe i can help

#

it's an immense accomplishment to be considered a serious applicant to an ivy league, which is what a deferral means (not to say a rejected applicants weren't, but being deferred is confirmation of applicant quality)

#

very few people can say they were even close to admission to a school like princeton

jade lion
#

it's just heart breaking to see her depressed

unkempt widget
#

I've decided to take my rejection as a sign. I don't need Princeton to pursue my dream. I'm capable on my own.
I'm worth more than they have decided I am because I worked hard. And I'm gonna make sure I never see another rejection ever again because I'm gonna follow my dream, with or without college.

serene oxide
#

everything happens for a reason!

unkempt widget
#

Yes! And I believe this is my calling.

serene oxide
#

also for other deferred/rejected peeps here, princeton is honestly not very lively ๐Ÿ˜ญ I go there so often and it becomes boring after like 3 visits

#

maybe we're meant for a more bustling environment that is less of a suburbia lol

summer steppe
#

we got this RD round

fossil ermine
#

maybe it means i'll get into ut ๐Ÿ™

hidden wharf
#

yes deferall is a sign that you are in fact qualified for such a prestigious school but you just got unlucky is all

#

you will be A OK

summer steppe
#

and even on the small chance u dont get in anywhere else

#

top college =/= great career and "bad" college =/= bad career. its all about what you do with your resources

#

we will be ok :))

rigid locust
#

It sucks when someone who has the same stats, almost exact same ecs, same background gets accepted when u dont

#

do you know what must have been the deciding factor between two similar people like this

fossil ermine
#

essays fs

summer steppe
#

letters too

serene oxide
#

or it could have just been chance

#

we really don't know how they make decisions

hidden wharf
#

^

summer steppe
#

it doesnt even mean that ur essays werent good enough. maybe they just preferred something else but yeah we dont know

hidden wharf
#

better not to speculate

#

and just try your hand on the next one

summer steppe
#

i think its best to move on. other schools, other opportunities

serene oxide
#

yess!!

rigid locust
#

i just dont know why i didnt get in because my stats are rly good, top gpa in class, good ecs: awards, captain club leaders, etc, music supplement, music rec letter, school rec letters were good according to counselor, several people including teachers said my essays were good

#

Could someone possibly explain?

#

Is it just unlucky

serene oxide
#

it really just comes down to luck and chance

hidden wharf
#

stars gotta align ykwim

serene oxide
#

your AO could have possible been having a bad day

summer steppe
#

AO woke up on the wrong side of the bed --> possible defer/reject

serene oxide
#

it's frustrating but we'll be okay

hidden wharf
#

fr like anything could have happened

#

dont think about it

rigid locust
#

yeah that makes things really unfrotunate

#

ig thats the think with college admissions

summer steppe
#

were you a deferral?

rigid locust
#

yeah

summer steppe
#

ye you'll be ok

rigid locust
#

but i just feel like i could have gotten in

#

so thats why

summer steppe
#

we all couldve

#

space is limited tho .-.

hidden wharf
# rigid locust yeah

oh then don't worry about it too much. i was deferred too. all we can do now is write a thoughtful loci and let your app go through admissions again

summer steppe
#

they gotta not accept some people even if its for dumb reasons

serene oxide
#

^^

rigid locust
#

do u guys reccomend writing a loci

serene oxide
summer steppe
#

from what ive seen online

hidden wharf
#

yeah just write your loci as thoughtfully as you wrote your application and then cross your fingers again

summer steppe
#

๐Ÿ’ฏ

rigid locust
#

ok and do i email that loci to admissions email?

hidden wharf
#

i would search it up online

serene oxide
#

^^

summer steppe
hidden wharf
#

the internet experts know better than your fellow high schoolers

serene oxide
#

I dmed a girl who got deferred and then got in rd so i'll let yall know what she says lol

hidden wharf
#

talk to your counselor too since everyone's situations are different

#

pton FAQs are helpful too

summer steppe
#

ngl i was kinda scared abt my letters of rec since although i had p good relationships with my teachers one of the teachers is known to not care about recs and the other teacher had to resubmit my rec because she copy pasted somebody else's into mine

#

but i guess deferral shows they werent that bad

serene oxide
#

honestly I am so happy about getting deferred

#

it's still impressive! we still have a shot

hidden wharf
#

but if there's anything that deferred applicants should think about is how grateful we are to know that we are capable of being part of such an incredible school

#

and that we have chances to get into equally as incredible schools

summer steppe
#

yes!!

#

i love the positivity here ngl

#

way better than in my house rn

aw im sorry you have to do that

#

what do you include in a loci tho

serene oxide
hidden wharf
summer steppe
#

ik like grade updates, ec updates

serene oxide
#

^^

hidden wharf
#

your mid year report will be sent by counselor

summer steppe
#

should i talk about how much i love princeton/what i would contribute to princeton as well

serene oxide
#

new awards

hidden wharf
#

and if you have any major updates to your honors or ecs include those too

#

i will be including my seal of biliteracy taht i forgot to send the first time around ๐Ÿ’€

serene oxide
rigid locust
#

So just sending the midyear report without a loci, prolly isnt enough right?

serene oxide
hidden wharf
#

we dont know ๐Ÿ’€

youre better off researching on the internet

o_o

summer steppe
#

love the resourcefulness

serene oxide
#

yall seem amazing and i'm sure you'll get into other top schools as well as princeton rd fr

hidden wharf
#

same to you

summer steppe
#

you too!!

hidden wharf
#

literally getting into your dream school early is like

#

it's not easy

#

it's really not easy lmao

#

it seems like a "duh" thing but we often forget how hard college admissions are

serene oxide
#

exactly

#

the odds are really against us lol

hidden wharf
#

real

serene oxide
#

like it's ~a 90% chance of not getting accepted

rigid locust
#

does princeton have counselors for regions?

hidden wharf
#

yes they have AOs per region

rigid locust
#

ok. on you alls decision, did it say the specific AO's name or was it signed by the Dean?

hidden wharf
#

dean

summer steppe
#

its crazy

rigid locust
#

to princeton?

summer steppe
#

yes

serene oxide
#

i know of one kids from my school who got into princeton so far

#

both his parents are profs there ๐Ÿ˜ญ

summer steppe
#

maybe not "expected" but no surprises XD

serene oxide
#

yess loll

rigid locust
#

Could someone confirm that Princeton allows LOCI and lmk

serene oxide
#

they do allow locis, in the deferral letter they said that if you have any additional info to send it should be sent before the end of jan

rigid locust
#

ok thanks

honest tiger
#

does everyone get the same deferral letter lol

small skiff
#

yeah?

rigid locust
#

does having rotc scholarship boost admission chances

fossil ermine
#

probably cause it means the government pays and not princeton

reef cave
unkempt widget
#

It wasn't cuz princeton was an ivy. i wanted to go because of a specific program that none of the other ivies offered.

#

๐Ÿ’€ and they rejected me because of numbers when I was genuinely interested in the school

#

they probably didn't even look at my whole application. just my numbers and dropped me right there.

#

but I don't need Princeton to be successful. And they aren't worth my time if they don't see my worth. :/ cuz I'm gonna prove it to them and anyone else that doubted me. ๐Ÿ’€ cuz I refuse to see rejection ever again.

#

im going to find another college that actually sees my potential angerydoggo

Princeton is Ivy

They only accept the best of the best. No ifs or buts. That being said. The best of the best can't always show it in numbers.

eternal tartan
#

does anyone

#

know

#

the deferral rate

#

of princeton

rigid locust
#

Does defer mean we are mixed in rd applicants or is there a separate pool with defer students in the rd

eternal tartan
#

i think

#

it means that we are mixed

#

w the rd applicants

tawdry zodiac
#

you're mixed in

#

princeton probably won't release any stats

#

i think given what the other ivies did, it seems like the outright rejection rate was much higher this year though

rigid locust
#

Ok so we have an actual chance of getting in right?

#

Because if we were only with defer people, I think it would be harder

small skiff
#

all strong candidates

#

gotta keep our heads up

rigid locust
#

Ok I read somewhere that defer is basically rejection but not to feel as bad so like thereโ€™s no chance of getting in

zenith quarry
#

that's def not true as a generalization, i've seen many people get deferred early and accepted regular

tawdry zodiac

sometimes its so random

There was someone on A2C when I was applying who was very popular who was deferred then rejected Princeton REA but got into MIT, Columbia with a likely letter, Brown, Carnegie Mellon, and several other schools.

reef cave
distant cape
#

I had a 1530 SAT, 3.9 GPA with good course load. I got rejected. I donโ€™t think it was because of my stats. Maybe my extracurriculars werenโ€™t great, but I had some good medical related experience over the summer, was the co captain of science Olympiad, won 4th and 6th in the state last year in scioly, was national merit commended, was the founder of a SAT tutoring club, completed the highest level in sailing for the ASA,

#

And I had good essays too ( sent them to college grads and teachers alike)

#

It couldโ€™ve been my demographic, I am Indian

#

Or maybe one of my supplementals was a bit too controversial- I did have one like that

#

Wanted to take a risk

#

But Iโ€™ve been taking the rejection pretty well- I hope other people who had a chance but didnโ€™t make the cut are doing well too.

i applied cs and my ecs were dogpoop so thats probably why

atomic river

tawdry zodiac
#

being deferred means you still have a chance guys!

#

also stats aren't everything you know

quick pecan
tawdry zodiac
#

basically everyone applying to a school like princeton has perfect or near-perfect stats, you have to stand out with the essays, ECs, and interview!!!
