[light sandal]

What's the RD acceptance rate? 😢

Like 3%?

[shut kestrel]

google says around 4 but still very small lol

[swift hazel]

might as well be 0 /j

[sweet pilot]

@toxic tulip

[candid fossil]

Tbh the only people who get rejected from Princeton are the ones who are too good because of yield protection, but it’s my top safety school rn

[toxic tulip]

@sweet pilot hello, are you Emory tate alumni?

[sweet pilot]

yes

[ripe flame]

So true!!!!

[toxic tulip]

What’s this w/l/p record you wrote on ur profile?

[ripe flame]

win/loss/pending. win is any college i got into + can afford. loss is either didn’t get in or can’t afford. pending im waiting on

Nahhh I got nat 20 rizz

[toxic tulip]

@mild tartan Alexa, what’s the weather like today in Ohio?

[mild tartan]

i feel used 😭😭

[toxic tulip]

i just wanted to ask for the weather

[upbeat scroll]

fr

[sweet pilot]

hows the weather

[buoyant crater]

so guys

anyone know the percent of deferred students princeton accepts?

[fleet badger]

you deferred?

I think I saw that the deferral rate was only 30% this year? was that right?

[ripe flame]

They don’t publish

An alumni interviewer has made claims abt the defer/admit/reject rates in their region, though

[buoyant crater]

Yeah

[buoyant crater]

No clue

[fleet badger]

Same here. Deferred to accepted rate is super low I hear.

[swift hazel]

Not sure exactly but it dropped

[proven current]

Princeton 🙏

Please Ivy lords

Clutch

[sweet pilot]

@toxic tulip everything ok?

[toxic tulip]

Hey touchgrass, thanks for asking ☺️

But plz mind ur own business

[balmy igloo]

Princetonnnn

[buoyant crater]

damn

[buoyant crater]

wait fr?

[swift hazel]

pretty sure? lol

also it’s a general trend among ivies i believe

they’re moving to defer less

and reject more

[buoyant crater]

ah

i cant find the deferred percentage

breh

[unkempt lodge]

They don’t post info anymore

[buoyant crater]

Makes sense

[lucid solstice]

hi

[fleet badger]

They no longer release that info.

[lucid solstice]

My friend who’s a quad legacy to Princeton got deferred rea

[fleet badger]

They say unless you're an athlete, urm or something you get deferred.

[lucid solstice]

That’s dumb

[fleet badger]

I guess legacies are considered important to rea.
I don't make the rules
But fewer deferrals this year and more rejections rea maybe means that deferrals have better shot?

[unkempt lodge]

That’s how most REAs are honestly

[swift hazel]

that’s not true

[upbeat scroll]

Sounds false

Did they say that

[unkempt lodge]

I know an ex-AO from Princeton who said that

[royal lava]

I mean legacy helps but like what about stats and ecs

If they didn’t have anything particularly strong it’s not surprising

[halcyon night]

My friend's friend who's a double legacy to Princeton and did rsi got deferred rea

[indigo garden]

deferred after rsi is crazy

😭

[halcyon night]

I think rea is just for ISO medalists LOL

^ exaggeration but kind of true

[royal lava]

Well no

Most Princeton kids r humanities

[quasi cypress]

What’s the nickname for Princeton

[halcyon night]

princeton doesn't exist 😛

[halcyon night]

true true

[desert rampart]

Princy

[toxic tulip]

plz no

[halcyon night]

idk anyone who got into princeton

ik a lot of people who got hysm tho

so princeton must not exist 🙂

[ripe flame]

Not true

[ripe flame]

I know a ton who got HYM s is seen as impossible from our school don’t know anyone who got p

[lyric pivot]

i shouldve done princeton rea tbh💔

idk anyone from my area who’s gone to princeton so i think i have geographic advantage

[unkempt lodge]

Nah I know one who was deferred at Harvard. Things are wild these days

[lucid solstice]

He was pretty strong

[fleet badger]

rsi?

[indigo garden]

research science institute

extremely prestigious summer program hosted by mit

[fleet badger]

Gotcha

[earnest ibex]

🧍🏾‍♂️

[stray mauve]

Something like 80% of rsi kids get into MIT

Which is insane

[fleet badger]

Hmm

[buoyant crater]

damn

[pulsar smelt]

How important are interviews for Princeton

[proven current]

Not make or break generally

I mean same as it is for top schools

You can look at their common data set

Marked as considered with most other things as very important and nothing as important

[lucid solstice]

whats the difference between geographical residence and state residency, is it like rural, suburban, urban type of deal?

[floral holly]

e.g. they care what kind of area you grew up in but not that you are from new jersey

[lucid solstice]

so they will care whether you grew up on a farm in contrast to growing up in downtown of a city

[floral holly]

yes

[lucid solstice]

hmm ok makes sense

[quasi cypress]

When you said no to the interview😭

[lucid solstice]

who said no bruh

[quasi cypress]

Me😭

[floral holly]

why

[indigo garden]

thats bad

[quasi cypress]

I didn’t wanna do an interview

[indigo garden]

im pretty sure

thats like

a red flag

[quasi cypress]

Meh if I get rejected oh well

[upbeat scroll]

If you gave a reason I'm sure it's not that bad

[viscid dew]

why bruh

[quasi cypress]

Nope I just said no to it on the common app where they ask.

[upbeat scroll]

Oh

Ok then it's not bad

[quasi cypress]

The interviews got me anxious tbh. But after doing 3 of them I regret saying no since they’re pretty chill.

[viscid dew]

i feel you but yeah normally the interviews are not too stressful

[quasi cypress]

I saw some guy on a2c get into Duke and another to Princeton both having rejected the interview so I still have hope.

[indigo garden]

i mean u got a columbia likely

ur prob fine

[viscid dew]

dang congrats @quasi cypress

[quasi cypress]

Thanks!

Feel like I’m getting rescinded with how bad my grades are tho 😭so can’t be to happy yet

[fossil osprey]

SAME

[viscid dew]

bro nobody gaf abt mid year or end of year

your not getting rescinded as long as your grades are at least Cs

[plush niche]

Yale REA one B Reddit post has entered the chat

[quasi cypress]

I’m writing up sob stories as we speak like😭

[fossil osprey]

im having major surgery with long recovery process in 9 days so we're good 😂

[quasi cypress]

Praying fr

[quasi cypress]

I plan on getting my counselor to back me up in case I rly flop bad💀

[fossil osprey]

I think my school would let me drop the classes or sth

or do extra cred

like they have never sent to t50 and they are kinda with me in the college app process

Lmao

[viscid dew]

for us you cant drop after the first month of school or its like an f on the transcript of smth

otherwise i would drop apes im tired of it

[fossil osprey]

I want to drop AP English so bad bro holy shit

but I cant after my teacher wrote me such a banging rec

[quasi cypress]

I’m in the exact same situation. Like I feel like my counselor has my back which is so nice

[fossil osprey]

[ripe flame]

PRINCETON I LOVE YOU

PLEASE COME THRU

[lucid solstice]

you just said this to yale 💀

[ripe flame]

Yeah cuz I do

I don’t have to be loyal till a school comes thru

[spark lotus]

monogamy is overrated

[ripe flame]

FR

after I commit the One True Undergrad will obtain my absolute devotion

[spark lotus]

until April 1 we're f-boys

then we turn loyal

[ripe flame]

until May 1

[spark lotus]

oops yeah that

[ripe flame]

I’m indecisive

of course that assumes I’ll have options which seems increasingly less likely

[spark lotus]

you'll be drowning in options bee I'm sure

[ripe flame]

. haha :(

ivies please pull thru

please. Fuck swarthmore, harvard I’ll be ur gal if you take me

idk we manifest and we move

[spark lotus]

says that in the Princeton thread 😭

[ripe flame]

Princeton already knows I love them

I sing their praises and dream of sitting behind the dining hall in the amphitheater

Walking through the gates for the very first time

I forsook Harvard for Swarthmore, and was forsaken in turn. So please bless me Ivy AOs with an acceptance

[fossil osprey]

Shhh

[limber vine]

lowkey my first choice, so just hoping i get into princeton

[ripe flame]

ABHI STOP

[austere spade]

[limber vine]

[limber vine]

[sweet pilot]

@toxic tulip plz stop ignoring me 🥺

[ripe flame]

i love Princeton to bits

[ripe flame]

It’s free so why wouldn’t you

[pulsar smelt]

time

[floral holly]

have your parents do it if you’re not feelin good about it lol

i’m hoping for your acceptance

[pulsar smelt]

My parents don't give a shit

I have anti a2c parents, they told me several times not to waste my time with top schools and just go to local university or CC

[ripe flame]

i mean

that’s kinda nice in some ways

but also it’s nice to have someone push u

[pulsar smelt]

Trust me it ain't nice

At least I know this is what I actually want

[ripe flame]

i guess I’m looking from the other side

i wish my parents would be fine wherever I went

but their standards are no lower than Ivies

they were pretty unimpressed w UMich as like. A standard

I feel like I have to get into CHYP to not be like. Constantly yelled at for the next four years

[simple yew]

what is C in CHYP

[swift hazel]

Columbia?

[swift hazel]

Same 💀

[limber vine]

the best school ever

hint: their kids are kind and clever

[swift hazel]

Do they by any chance get free water bottles at orientation?

[ripe flame]

They’re even near a bus station!

[swift hazel]

#1 forever!

[limber vine]

hint: there is a country named after them with the same spelling!

They most likely follow up with emails if you’re accepted

You should just. Check your portal man

[vernal flax]

Cant that’s the problem

I’m out of town and I wanna open it with my family

I’ll be home 9 hours after the decisions are probably released

[ripe flame]

okay so wait the 9hrs

[vernal flax]

just didn’t want it to be spoiled by an email, never said I didn’t want to wait

[ripe flame]

oh hm if that’s the scenario

then disable email notifs

you won’t have to risk it

[vernal flax]

Yeah that’s what I was gonna do, but thanks lol

as a precaution

I voluntarily open my mail after waking up so I hope my instincts don’t take over me

[ripe flame]

Put your phone somewhere where you can’t easily access it

it’s been rough for me but it’s def my fault like i got rejected from BU but my one question answer was absolutely awful

it really is

like this shit the lottery

I’m prob never visiting Dartmouth, too out of the way

[plush niche]

although I know someone else who did something like that but he was val and went to yale so

[austere spade]

same

i did penn, jhu, and pton in 2 days or so

[upbeat scroll]

i guess i did visit columbia but mostly cause my friend goes there

so columbia, princeton, and georgetown (kinda)

[austere spade]

didn’t apply to jhu, wanted to check penn out before i signed ED, and princeton fit into the schedule

[upbeat scroll]

did you end up doing ED to penn?

[austere spade]

and im otw home from touring ut rn

[austere spade]

[austere spade]

[vapid nebula]

[dry merlin]

You can do that from spamming campus tour videos too

[pine heart]

it’s a sign

[candid geode]

hey guys

so let’s say, i completed princeton FA

and then they never emailed me about missing documents

would i be able to upload them

after decisions released?

[lucid solstice]

Sure, if you get admitted they would like those docs

[candid geode]

alright hopefully that works out

they got my FAFSA and the PFAA

but it says they’re missing W2 and a signed copy of 2021 tax returns including business? tax documents

we don’t own a business

hopefully it works out

#CalypsoIntoPrinceton

[candid geode]

god i want one RD like just one option

if i don’t get the scholly i’m finalist for at my safety i’m going to be busting my ass all summer working minimum wage to pay for a school i could’ve gotten into with straight Cs

😭

just need some sort of good news

[upbeat scroll]

It will come ! I seriously don't know what these colleges are missing from you

[candid geode]

rejected from all colleges ivy accept fr

i gotta be the case

[pine heart]

same situation basically

[plush niche]

same

[pine heart]

it sucks

[plush niche]

well not rejected everywhere but rejected from reaches so far

like MIT USC

[pine heart]

but I think like ivy applications are better bc they get a better evaluation since there’s more questions

like if one answer isn’t the best there’s others to gain information from

[candid geode]

tbf you can make the case that i’ve just been getting rejected from reaches

i wasn’t smart about applying

[pine heart]

i applied to safeties but didn’t try that hard on my target apps

[upbeat scroll]

Princeton was my best ivy app I think

Between Princeton and cornell

[pine heart]

hope you get in!

[candid geode]

i didn’t apply to targets (now i know, i thought i had 2 targets)

[pine heart]

my target to me was BU and BC

[candid geode]

i had too much faith in myself

[pine heart]

lmao

i got waitlisted at BC and rejected at BU

[candid geode]

i was told NEU and gtech were my targets

[pine heart]

my app was trash

[candid geode]

rejected both

[upbeat scroll]

I had like, 3 targets and 15 reaches

[pine heart]

rejected NEU too lol

[upbeat scroll]

Then like a ton of safeties

[upbeat scroll]

so many applications omg

[pine heart]

i wish i applied to more safeties

[upbeat scroll]

i had 2 safeties 2 targets and 12 reaches 😭😭

[plush niche]

I got into all of my targets except BU but it still sucks to get rejected from reaches regardless of how hard it is

[candid geode]

i thought initially i had 1 safety 2 targets and 10 reaches

[proven current]

1 safety 1 target 11 reaches

[upbeat scroll]

I slaved my high school away, i was gonna use these fee waivers ong😭😭

[pine heart]

bruh

[candid geode]

but it was more like 1 safety 12 reaches

[pine heart]

yeah i had few waivers too

[upbeat scroll]

i barely got 16 apps done dude idk how you did it

[candid geode]

which is probably why i’m getting slaughtered

[upbeat scroll]

Determination

[candid geode]

i had feewaivers

i just need like one ivy to at least waitlist me

[upbeat scroll]

fee waivers saved my life though

[pine heart]

no same

[candid geode]

if that happens i’ve got an even bulkier loci

[pine heart]

how many ivies did u guys apply to

[plush niche]

yeah I'm just tryna not get rejected across the board that'd be nice

LMFAOOOO

Tysm, i swear I died twice when I saw that email

no but great job fr

i got deferred princeton rea so i’m excited for my personalized rejection letter in three days

[plush niche]

hey deferral is good

[upbeat scroll]

^

[candid geode]

i was deferred harvard rea, i think princeton defer is better because it’s a lot more selective

[upbeat scroll]

nah my essays improved sm by rd time and i’m sure it’s the same for all the thousands of other rd applicants

Same

[upbeat scroll]

oh is it? i thought they defer like 70%

[plush niche]

I mean they don't release data anymore

[upbeat scroll]

ik yale defer is pretty selective

[plush niche]

so u don't know

[upbeat scroll]

true

[candid geode]

yeah i think princeton defer is slightly more selective

[upbeat scroll]

MIT and uchicago deferred me, then got rejected from MIT and waitlisted uchicago

Ik it wasn't my best writing

[proven current]

deferral to waitlist pipeline is the worst

[upbeat scroll]

I'm saying !

[candid geode]

my harvard app was probably my most rushed

[upbeat scroll]

Like what made you go undecided

[proven current]

but cornell w clutched

[upbeat scroll]

Fr

[upbeat scroll]

this happened to my friend who’s robertson at duke now don’t lose hope

[proven current]

i think my penn and brown apps were very meh

[upbeat scroll]

It came after my caltech and mit rejections too

[candid geode]

but i’ve been told my rd apps make me sound like a bot. so i hope the errors i made rea help

[plush niche]

My pton app was def my best ivy app

[proven current]

same

[upbeat scroll]

my upenn app was my best ivy app

[proven current]

and the interview went crazy for me

so good

[candid geode]

my princeton app was really good

[plush niche]

hoping it pulls through 🙏

[candid geode]

the interview went hard too

[proven current]

i will trade all acceptances to become a tiger

[candid geode]

if i get into princeton we can trade

[plush niche]

although I didn't get a yale interview so kinda nervous there

[candid geode]

i’d like caltech back

[upbeat scroll]

SAME

[proven current]

lmao

imagine we could trade

[upbeat scroll]

and my friend at the same school as me got a yale interview and i didnt

[proven current]

same

[candid geode]

i only got harvard princeton dartmouth and mit interviews

[upbeat scroll]

I don't think the Yale interview thing is as big as everyone makes it

[pine heart]

i got one but the dude had the complete opposite major as me

[plush niche]

surely a caltech admit has a good chance at yale

[upbeat scroll]

bruh i only got harvard and upenn interviews for rd

[pine heart]

and was like 80 years old

[proven current]

i got penn mit princeton and cornell (but this one does not count)

[upbeat scroll]

i lied i got cornell too but that was literally not an interview

[candid geode]

my harvard interview was rea right before i was deferred

[lucid solstice]

Yeah it was just questions

[candid geode]

i hope i’ve convinced them to waitlist me

[proven current]

i wonder what a harvard interview would have been like

[upbeat scroll]

i was SCRAMBLING to think of questions for like 40min dude

[candid geode]

probably the same as a princeton interview

[proven current]

weirdly enough, i don't think i have any strong deep reason for going to harvard

[candid geode]

except my interviewer never asked why harvard

[limber vine]

OMG GUYS

[candid geode]

they don’t typically ask why harvard

[limber vine]

I GOT A PRINCETON EMAIL OMGOMGOMGOMG

[proven current]

lmao same it was hard for 40 min w cornell

[lucid solstice]

I didn’t have questions lined up cause every time I asked him questions he spent 15 mins on it

[candid geode]

so true it’s a likely

[limber vine]

what hapened to u

u used to be a cool quirky color now ur just basic light blue

[lucid solstice]

But I didn’t ask questions you could research, just asked him about his favorite food on campus, honest truth about the college, if he regrets attending or not, etc

[upbeat scroll]

wait this is kinda nice though i wish my interviewer talked more for each q

[lucid solstice]

My interviewer was my dads boss

[upbeat scroll]

yeah same so it was so hard to think of them on the spot

[upbeat scroll]

…bye

[candid geode]

left to clear my head and resigned basically, i didn’t need the extra college stress

i’m probably here temporarily again, it’s been nice to get away from a2c a bit

[limber vine]

idk why

[upbeat scroll]

i’m hopefully done friday if stanford releases then

[proven current]

i still haven't heard anything from cornell yale harvard or vandy about decision date

officially

obv ik they have dates (for yale and harvard) on their portals but i mean the email

[upbeat scroll]

oh damn aunt is kinda hard to find info on i feel like

[candid geode]

it’s alright i’m going to get harvard (or harvard wl and win state invitational for math league wednesday 100% and then have a big update)

and then surely they’ll autoadmit me

[lucid solstice]

I mean I put it on my stanford app, there was a spot to

[plush niche]

they want me so bad they're giving me a 3 day in advance update of my acceptance

likely letter

[lucid solstice]

And she’s in admin of student servixes

[proven current]

yes harvard autoadmit

[candid geode]

i’m a harvard autoadmit they just thought it would be unfair to give me my acceptance so early smh

obviously

[proven current]

i mean they can't accept everyone early

so they just had to make you wait

[candid geode]

it’s mainly ALDC

[proven current]

to make sure you really wanted to go to harvard

aldc?

[candid geode]

like realistically speaking they fill up their class with sports/legacy people early like mad

[candid geode]

athlete legacy deans list child of staff

[plush niche]

imagine getting a decision from harvard. This is coming from someone who applied to st. anford, a school that doesn't exist

[proven current]

ah

[plush niche]

therefore, no decision

[proven current]

stanford is not real

[plush niche]

fr

[proven current]

decision literally on april first

[candid geode]

april fools 💀

[upbeat scroll]

nvm it probably helps or they wouldn’t ask right

[lucid solstice]

True lol and she’s a close relative too

[candid geode]

y e s

it does help

it depends on ur parent’s position too

if they’re a dean or professor it helps a lot more

[upbeat scroll]

yesss good luck

[lucid solstice]

Thank you lol dream school

[upbeat scroll]

real i love stanford

[candid geode]

should’ve had my aunt adopt me for ivy day

she’s a dean but i don’t reap any benefits from it

[plush niche]

Does it help if a building on campus is named after my family

[upbeat scroll]

BRUH

that’s it

i’m withdrawing my applications rn

[plush niche]

[upbeat scroll]

[sweet pilot]

good morning @toxic tulip

[limber vine]

I am sorry to inform you that we were not able to admit you to Princeton University this year. The admissions process is difficult for students and families, and we realize that you are likely to be disappointed with our decision. We received applications from more than 35,000 candidates, most of whom were in the admissible range. In fact, we could have filled five or six Princeton classes with the thousands of accomplished students who applied.

I appreciate how challenging it may be to understand why you were not admitted. Over the past three months, the admissions staff reviewed files diligently, thoughtfully and carefully. As we do each year, we made every effort to weigh each student's achievements, talents and skills in the context of her or his secondary school setting. We took into consideration the vast differences among the 11,126 high schools from 170 countries represented in the pool. Ultimately, the strength and size fo this year's pool dictated our choices. Given how many superb applicants we had, even candidates with the best credentials were not guaranteed a spot.

Unfortunately, all of our decisions are final: we do not have an appeals process. The committee's conclusion is not a judgment about your worth, and it does not reflect your ability to succeed in a rigorous college environment. Reading your application made it clear to us that you will be successful wherever you go. I imagine you are hearing from other colleges and universities, and I am confident that you have many fine choices.

Please note that this message will serve as our formal correspondence. If you would like a hard copy of this letter, please email [email protected], and be sure to include your full name and your high school with your request. Thank you for your interest in Princeton and for giving us the opportunity to consider this application.

Holy grail Princeton please 🙏

[candid fossil]

Bro you got caltech

[proven current]

true but pton is top choice

but of course i am grateful for caltech obv

even if straight rejections from here

[candid fossil]

Bros got cal tech tho 😭😭😭

Caltech > princeton unless you’re doing liberal arts

[proven current]

i mean sure in terms of pure stem but i think princeton provides a more well-rounded environment + location + just a much larger community which I believe I would prefer

[candid fossil]

If I get Princeton and you don’t (won’t happen dont worry) we can trade

[proven current]

lmao deal

good luck to you hopefully we both get in

[candid fossil]

Hopefully 🤞

Good luck

[halcyon night]

nah princeton > caltech for math

princeton is like #1 in every kind of math except applied

[fossil osprey]

Bruh Caltech is so cringe ngl

Like goated school but it's cringe asf I refuse to elabroate

Elaborate

[proven current]

Pls elaborate

Just want to see thoughts won’t judge

[fossil osprey]

Environment way too competitive I don't like how small it is etc

It's the only t10 I didn't even consider applying to

If u don't mind those things though it's obviously academically top tier

[candid geode]

caltech is cringe

because they rejected me

[pine heart]

i want to go here

[proven current]

It seems very collaborative from students I’ve talked to, less competitive than other schools

[proven current]

Very understandable tho

I didn’t consider Columbia at all 💀

[candid geode]
