peak fossil
#

dude

scenic cloud
#

#

where i was considering

quartz sedge
#

scenic cloud
#

putting purple rain by prince

quartz sedge
#

scenic cloud
#

quartz sedge
#

i was, quite literally, caught lackin

peak fossil
#

@quartz sedge do u have someone that looks over ur essays

quartz sedge
#

nah i just wing it 💀

#

ill run it through grammarly and maybe show it ot one of my friends

#

but other than that nah

#

wbu

peak fossil
#

oh how i would prefer that

#

i have family that looks over it

#

which means that i can't just submit it whenever i want

#

its like good for when you want to have good essays

#

its bad for when you just want to play minecraft

#

and im more of the latter right now

scenic cloud
#

im ngl

#

if you want to play minecraft

#

just go for it

#

just make sure to do supps too

#

ive been playing valo and omori and l4d2 during this entire winter break

#

and trying to do like 3-4 supps a day

#

it helps me not burn out as quickly

#

like after all your family isnt gonna look over it all at once

#

so as long as you give then a steady stream of essays you should be fine

quartz sedge
#

yea

#

we're gonna make it

#

but at least i have 2/4 essays d o n e

#

i cant wait to play overwatch once all this is over

#

im probably rusty asf but idk winston needs me

peak fossil
#

ive been waiting to play Fifa

#

After watching the world cup i really wanted to play it

#

i swear

#

messi winnning the world cup is the only thing thats been keeping me going

#

if he lost that I would expect a rejection from everywhere i apply

#

but now i feel like ill get at least one acceptance

#

and i have a good feeling its princeton

#

even though my essays are dog

eternal cosmos
#

how strict is princeton's graded writing due date

#

cause there is a possibility my teacher just dont respond to my email

quartz sedge
#

I'm sure depending on your situation they can make an exception for u

#

wait can you not send in your document tho?

eternal cosmos
#

all my essays dont physically have a grade written on the essay

#

thast the issue

#

scores are all on canvas

#

unless i can self-report the score

peak fossil
#

You can screenshot it

#

And put that on the doc with ur essay

solid river
#

princeton has such a dub class

#

succeeding without selling your soul lol

civic spindle
#

How bad would be submitting an 8 page research paper for the graded paper

eternal cosmos
solid river
minor sandal
#

for the paper, I have a google Doc version but the one with my teachers signatures on it is a hardcopy, so do I just scan the paper and upload it as a pdf or do i go with docs?

solid river
#

i doubt they will read that much 💀

scenic cloud
#

i only got the game like 3 days ago

#

and i am scared to play it too much with college apps existing

#

not because no time, but bc i dont want to fuck up my mental before writing essays

scenic cloud
shut dawn
#

my friend's mom being a Princeton AO is a fucking cheat code

upbeat scroll
#

when's the last day for the graded paper?

#

my school counsellor's gone on break 💀

obsidian barn
#

I’m about to submit my assignment and for the graded paper it has comments and everything but it doesn’t have the actual grade on it

upbeat scroll
#

I've mailed the AO office, but they're on break. please tell me I'm not fucked

solid river
obsidian barn
#

I figured it don’t worry but thank you though 🤭

minor sandal
#

in the convo prompt do I have to include dialogue or elaborate on what happened

mild tartan
#

how would you write the essay without elaborating in what happened…?

#

i used dialogue but ofc you don’t have to

upbeat scroll
#

i didn't use dialogue at all

foggy merlin
#

wait can we self report scores to princeton?

quartz sedge
#

i dont think so, but dont fact check me on that

#

pov ur me when your difficult converesation essay is 423 words long

#

istg

foggy merlin
quartz sedge
#

idk im going in test optional bc my sat scores are absolute ass

foggy merlin
#

ah wait smart, okay i'll navigate the score send thingy haha

quartz sedge
#

glgl :D

foggy merlin
#

why is princeton the only college on my list that needs official reports upfront 🥲

quartz sedge
#

idk TT

foggy merlin
#

12 freaking dollars

#

UGH

quartz sedge
#

b r u h

foggy merlin
#

that's like

quartz sedge
#

why do i have to pay more money

#

just to get rejected

#

like istg

foggy merlin
#

many blue raspberry jolly ranchers

#

exactly

quartz sedge
#

im so glad im poor so i get fee waivers ✨

#

but like

foggy merlin
#

granted i'm from the uk so due to tariffs not as many blue raspberry jolly ranchers as i'd LIKE

#

but still.

#

:(

#

wait

#

this is stupid but

#

if i send scores via college board to princeton

#

how the heck does that match up with my common app to princeton

#

just to confirm rush reports aren't necessary riiiight

quartz sedge
#

uhhhh sorry i cant help u there sorry coolcry

#

all my test scores are so bad i just decided not to send them anywhere so idk anything abt that

foggy merlin
#

😢 they probs aren'tttt from what i've googied

#

ohhh fairs

quartz sedge
#

but i think if u email the office they should be able to give an answer

foggy merlin
#

i just assumed everywhere was self report but then today, two days before deadline, found out princeton was not lol

#

oh okay phew

#

also i have no idea about where to submit the graded paper 😭 i presume in the portal when i get it but i haven't gotten it and january 1 is fastttt approaching so i hope i get it tomorrow

#

i saw you could alternatively email it to admissions but idk about that

quartz sedge
#

from common app there is somewhere in the application

#

where u can submit a pdf

#

i just did that

spark lotus
#

I submitted my scores like 4 days ago and they received them today!

foggy merlin
#

i've already submitted the common app coolcry crap

spark lotus
#

So you should be fine

foggy merlin
#

oh phew

#

even if they receive scores a day or two after jan 1.. it's probs fine

#

i hope

quartz sedge
#

yea you'll be fine

#

definitely

spark lotus
#

yeah def

#

they don't start reviewing for a bit

foggy merlin
#

gah my impatient ass is gonna just email the princeton ug office with my paper

spark lotus
#

you can submit it on your portal

foggy merlin
#

oh okay that's good

spark lotus
foggy merlin
#

PHEW

#

okay that means if i get my portal link tomorrow all's gucci

#

thank frick

#

bruh people submit resumes

spark lotus
#

this is the single most satisfying sentence I ever read

foggy merlin
#

that feels

#

beautiful

quartz sedge
#

i cant wait to see that silly little green sentence

foggy merlin
#

i'm manifesting

#

these darn scores and the paper stand in my way

#

one i'll fix for $12 now

#

the other i'll ideally fix tomorrow

#

how soon did you get your portal link after applying? @spark lotus

spark lotus
#

I applied like

#

two days ago lol

#

I think I got it yesterday night

foggy merlin
#

oh okay perf

spark lotus
#

I love collecting portals for some reason 💀

#

I get excited to see how pretty they are

#

the harvard one is gorg

foggy merlin
#

the portals are beautssss

#

and they all have different colour schemes

#

like collecting infinity stones

spark lotus
#

yess

#

they all seem to be using the same back-end software

#

the company making that must be making BANK

#

how long is the graded paper you guys submitted?

#

Cuz I couldn't find any in the 1-2 pg length

quartz sedge
#

i just used part of a humanities paper i did

#

mine was around 5

#

but tbh when i went on tour they said that as long as it's not like

#

10 pages

#

go for it

#

also is urs in mla format bc if u change the formatting a bit you might be able to get it to 1-2

spark lotus
#

okay perf yeah the one I submitted was like 3 and a half pages long essay wise

#

then another one for the cover and another for the rubric

#

So it should be fine...right

spark lotus
foggy merlin
#

okay woop got my score sent to princeyyyy

#

now just the paper okay i think i'll be fine i just panicked lol

quartz sedge
#

whoops

foggy merlin
#

dumb question from a uk student

#

what's a rubric

spark lotus
#

lmaoo idk if you are

quartz sedge
#

good thing i didnt submit anything yet

spark lotus
#

but like my teacher graded it like

quartz sedge
#

so like if u dont meet or exceed these standards

#

you will get al ower grade on the rubric

spark lotus
quartz sedge
#

thus getting a lower score

spark lotus
#

so without the rubric they wouldn't understand a thing

quartz sedge
#

that makes a lot of sense

spark lotus
foggy merlin
foggy merlin
#

smart i'll have to submit a rubric too bc i got a mark but not a grade

spark lotus
foggy merlin
#

but for GCSEs everyone has a standard rubric so it's cool

foggy merlin
spark lotus
#

I'm an IB masochist coolcry

foggy merlin
#

lmaooo

#

what subjects do you take

foggy merlin
spark lotus
#

I graduated last month (southern hemisphere W) but I took Math AA HL, CS HL, English Lit HL, Spanish Lit HL, Physics SL and Econ SL

#

4 HLs to further my insanity 😋

#

I did take the IGCSEs tho cuz my school is a Brit school

foggy merlin
#

i've heard of HLs as being the harder ones

#

so 4 of them sounds

#

pain

foggy merlin
#

I lowkey admire IB because you can continue sm subjects

#

wait

#

do y'all's schools help you with the application

#

like with feedback and stuff

spark lotus
#

yeah

#

we have a college counselor

#

and because not many ppl apply abroad it's quite personalized

#

also I get help from my local US Embassy

foggy merlin
#

oh sweet

spark lotus
#

they have a program to help intls go to the US to college for free

#

so that's also good

foggy merlin
#

that's incredible, wait so are you an intl as well?

spark lotus
#

yeahhh

foggy merlin
#

ayyy same

spark lotus
#

we got this

foggy merlin
#

frfr

spark lotus
#

at least my country is super underrepresented so that doesn't play against me

foggy merlin
#

ah that's good

#

we have quite a few uk people go over to princeton afaik

#

but most are private so as a state school guy idk if that's good or bad for me

spark lotus
#

I'm sure it'll help yeah

#

I have a friend from the UK in harv

#

think he went to public school

foggy merlin
#

holy moly

#

that's good then, i suppose it helps me to stand out a bit

#

i imagine bc they contexualise everything that maybe they'd look more at ECs and personal qualities but that's speculation ofc

spark lotus
#

yeah they also consider your achievements in regard to the opportunities you had

#

if you go to a school with fewer ECs they won't use it against u

foggy merlin
#

that's pretty reassuring tbh

upbeat scroll
#

am i dead if i realize i had like 2 typos in my pton app

#

😭

spark lotus
#

nahh as long as they're not repeated a bunch of times or super serious I'm sure you'll be more than fine

shut dawn
#

princeton besties

#

did y'all submit the prompt with the graded paper

#

or just the graded paper itself?

quartz sedge
#

just the paper

eternal cosmos
#

cause my teacher might not respond to my email

#

😦

quartz sedge
#

honestly i think u should be able to

#

as long as they can read it, you shuld be fine

#

just convert to pdf if ur gonna go that route, just ot be safe

#

also u can wait to submit you graded paper after you submit the application

#

once you get your applicant portal up 👍

peak fossil
#

How long have you all been working on these ssays

#

we also talked abt this a little bit earlier on so this might be helpful

civic spindle
#

how important is the graded paper's comments

#

if it's good writing but only has a grade and one comment, is that a bada look

#

bad**

#

or would submitting a super long paper with tons of comments be better

quartz sedge
#

well it depends on how long the paper is i would say

#

also i feel like princeton admissions officers themselves are going to be assessing your writing so if it has only a couple comments on it, i personally dont think it would make that big of a difference

#

but that's just me idk-

upbeat scroll
#

and rubric

civic spindle

oh shit

thank god my teacher did same thing

#

ok ty for help guys

quartz sedge
#

npnp

#

also congrats on princeton btw :D

mild tartan
#

i got an A- on the paper i submitted lol

#

i think they just look at the paper to make sure you can form arguments in writing

#

or to get a sense of how your school grades perhaps idk

quartz sedge
#

prob a little bit of both

upbeat scroll
#

i submitted my like only 100 this year lmao

shut dawn
#

My counselor also told me that part of it is seeing your school's rigor

quartz sedge
#

hmm okok

mild tartan
#

interesting!

candid geode
# shut dawn from my same friend

is it better to have a clean pdf copy of your essay + comments provided on the side or one that’s marked up but still readable?

#

i could either send in a clean pdf + rubric + comments on another pdf or one with my comments + turnitin’s grammar, tense, etc. check, and a rubric

eternal cosmos
#

just the grade itself

#

cause my teachers never use rubrics to begin with

upbeat scroll
#

any princeton admits who can go over my essays?

#

gonna be submitting them today finally praying

candid geode
#

anyone know how to take 2 diff pdfs and compress them into one

does anyone ever get that feeling of satisfation when you're finally pasting your essays into common app 😭

upbeat scroll
#

Also quick question

#

I'm listed under AP Calc AB but my teacher is allowing me to learn BC topics and take the BC exam at the end of the year, would that be worthy for the "additional information" section at the end of the supplements

#

ohh ok, thx

daring patio
#

Do you think it’s ok in the short answer to make 2 things about a fairly similar topic?

#

Like

#

one of them is about how a certain topic has helped me in life and the other one is how I wanna learn a skill related to that topic

candid geode
#

i think connecting pieces r good

#

especially if they demonstrate a new side of you

daring patio
#

Can I send mine to someone for review

LITERALLY ALL OF THERE ESSAYS ARE REUSUBLE

yea other than the why yale essay

peak fossil
#

REALLY?

#

BUT THE PROMPTS ARE SO REUSUBLE

#

oh wait my bad

shut dawn
#

i didn't recycle any essay between the two

peak fossil
#

only the short essay is

candid geode
#

only maybe the difficult convo? or the community

peak fossil
#

yea that one

shut dawn
#

yeah but for Yale you can only use one of the two

#

and you have to make it 400

peak fossil
#

FOUR HUNDRED??

#

guys im sorry

#

i did not read enough

#

you cannot reusue

#

i retract my statmeent

candid geode
#

yale prompts are a different beast

peak fossil
#

400 is the strangest word limit

candid geode
#

i mean atp take your princeton community essay

#

expand it with more of a why yale

#

i’m thinking of taking my community one, subbing in a few names, and then taking part of my NU sup and parsing it

peak fossil
#

Yale carries out its mission “through the free exchange of ideas in an ethical, interdependent, and diverse community.” Reflect on a time when you exchanged ideas about an important issue with someone holding an opposing view. How did the experience lead you either to change your opinion or to sharpen your reasons for holding onto it?

#

you can use the perspective princeton essay for this one too

#

but like expand it

#

with stuff about yale

candid geode
#

you’d think prompts would get easier the more colleges you apply to 😭

peak fossil
#

I feel like they actually did honestly

#

but i still hate them with a passion

This diverse perspectives shit is gonna kill me

I can't even think of a fictional conversation, much less a real one

#

Trying to avoid anything political

Yo guys, the difficult conversation one is too mad.
I've had crazy conversations about religion and politics
I'm not able to think of something different, maybe a work argument for atargtieges?
I could incorporate another extracurricular in or like a business change

Let me go deeper on that:
We were pivoting our startup and I had a disagreement with my Co workers because it was super risky

#

Would that work as a difficult conversation topic?

As a research institution that also prides itself on its liberal arts curriculum, Princeton allows students to explore areas across the humanities and the arts, the natural sciences, and the social sciences. What academic areas most pique your curiosity, and how do the programs offered at Princeton suit your particular interests?

Also, what is the deadline to upload it

#

do you think it’s still possible to have test scores considered with my application?

#

i haven’t submitted yet but i’m not taking my chances anymore, i’d rather be under the 25% than not be part of the 89% who submitted

#

i don’t have my portal yet but i could try and rush order them

#

wait, we have to submit score reports after app right?

#

cuz I already submitted the CA with self reported scores💀

#

Princeton is fucking stupid with this official scores stuff. Should automatically drop them down a spot in USNWR

minor sandal
light sandal
#

I know. And for no particular reason

#

Princeton has to have some deal with the college board

minor sandal
#

like just ask my reports if you accept me i'd be happy to, but now i've to go out a limb and spend money for a for sure rejection

minor sandal
candid geode
minor sandal
#

thats 1500 INR💀 🥺

candid geode
#

catangy yeah and it sucks bc if you don’t submit, your odds are 11:89

#

so atp it’s better to submit anything you have

minor sandal
#

scores aren't a problem

#

got 1500, not stellar but enough to be ok with it

#

but seriously, it'd be horrible for someone if they can barely afford college apps, and be rejected from pton after all this toil, simply over 20 bucks (not talking about me, just expressing general concern)

candid geode
#

is there any way you would qualify for a score send fee waiver?

minor sandal
#

well i'd submit the scores, albeit reluctantly, but I'd have to anyways
I was just infuriated cuz why an institution with billions in endowments cares so much about even more money over such trivialities

candid geode
#

yeah fair enough

#

🤷‍♀️ they want more money

#

uh oh

minor sandal
#

?

candid geode
#

just realized i messed up my ib exam dates i submitted

#

is this worth emailing them over

#

i just realized I submitted it wonky to 3 colleges 🫠

minor sandal
#

I also realized I've submitted CA with a typo to columbia and pton,

#

although if its officialy concerning then you should, if its a mere typo with no consequnces then prolly dont draw too much attention over it

candid geode
#

i think i should fix that

#

I’m may ‘23 but half are may, half are march .__.

minor sandal
#

well yeah, you should

#

oh fuck

#

i also had predicted dates which I had entered in october while EDing and didnt bother to change them💀

uh oh

yeah this REALLY isnt good

#

now i need to email 3 colleges

for the graded written paper, if the paper im submitting is 4 pages long, do i cut off the first 2? since princeton says "one to two pages in length is sufficient."

daring patio
ionic elbow
#

yes, ik it's not a strict requirement, but in it's longer is it better to keep all 4

candid geode
#

would i have to email to switch to reporting test scores

#

or could i just send an official score and have it considered?

#

i really should’ve thought about this harder

#

it’s going to reflect so badly 😭

ionic elbow
#

i doubt they will give it that much thought. i would email if you initially indicate you didnt want scores to be considered

#

bc even if u send in scores now but told them you dont want them to be considered, they will probably not consider them as part of your app

candid geode
#

agh i just emailed them about my ib exam dates being screwed up

#

atp i feel like it’s not even worthwhile to submit but at princeton it’s probably better to submit under their 25% than to not submit at all

#

hi yall, got that interview notification

minor sandal
#

does princeton interview based on availability?

#

or is it for all?

scenic cloud
#

i think availability

#

Interview. Princeton offers optional alumni interviews. Interviews take place after the Admission Office has received your application. You may choose to opt out of the interview in the Princeton Supplement, and this choice will not put you at any disadvantage in the admission process. If you do not opt out, you may receive an email inviting you to interview with a member of our Princeton Alumni Schools Committee. If so, we encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity. The interviews are 30-45 minute informal conversations, where you can discuss the things that are important to you and also ask questions to someone who attended Princeton. We cannot guarantee that every applicant will receive an interview. This will depend on the availability of alumni in your area. Our dedicated alumni do manage to contact the vast majority of our applicants every year; however, if you do not receive an interview for any reason, it will not put you at a disadvantage since the interview is optional. We do not offer on-campus interviews. These interviews must not be recorded in any way, either by the interviewer or the applicant. Given the timeline, students who are participating in the QuestBridge National College Match will be unable to complete an interview.
