also sourced this info from the admissions office about holistic review but you probably alread know

No single factor is decisive. There are no minimums, cut-offs, or quotas in this holistic review. We look at the transcript and how a student has performed in their academic setting. We look for applicants who have taken advantage of the most rigorous curriculum offered in their setting. We also look for students who are involved outside of the classroom and have shown a commitment to their extracurricular activities. We also pay attention to what an applicant’s teachers tell us and how the applicant portrays him or herself in the essays and short answers. All of these pieces come together to help inform us as we evaluate an application.

Is anyone else intending to do Army ROTC at Princeton (i.e Applied/received rotc scholarship) ?

wet pilot
#

Not Army, but if I end up going to Princeton I'll do either Air Force or Navy at Rutgers.

#

My dad is a Princeton Army ROTC dude though, back when they rode dinosaurs into battle

Read the thread he said no more than 5, mine was longer so I did what my counselor told me to do and only submitted 5 but I don’t think you will have a problem with 7 pages.

after looking at my profile on common app, i just thought: "fuck, this is really the culmination of the least 4 years of my life"

#

and being visibly disappointed.

sand crane
#

SAME

#

pls

rose lava
#

Like I know I have a decent resume

#

but it just feels like nothing

#

after seeing it in the common app format

sand crane
#

Since i do gap year its 5 years of my life

#

And i dont feel like doing anything

rose lava
#

Ah I see

#

I'm in a constant cycle of this "WERE SO BACK" and then "IT'S SO OVER"

#

Like after i submitted my app it was "ITS SO OVER" then i had my interview "WERE SO BACK" and then again its so ver

sand crane
#

Same

What was your early school originally

That doesn't sound like a very good way to cope with rejections

#

i'm assuming some time next week tho

frank pond

#

Yo if you created a new email for common app and used your normal email for the ACT, when you send the scores will Princeton be able to match them up?

#

Or do I need to send an email?

rose lava
summer solstice
#

The issue is idk if I used my government name which has two words as the first name (like on the common app) or just the first word of my first name on the act 💀

robust kindle
#

Princeton just requested a grade update from my counselor. Did everyone receive this request?

frank pond
#

I wonder how many other applicants this cycle have the same first and last name as me lol

frank pond
robust kindle
#

My counselor

#

Actually I already graduated from there. I'm a gap year student lol

frank pond
#

I don't think my counselor would email me but regardless my school doesn't finalize sem 1 grades until Jan 3-4

robust kindle
#

Yeah I don't think it means anything

cunning vortex
#

yall

#

do u have like a bucket list of things u want to do 2nd sem

#

when apps will be over

#

or at the very least youll have everything submitted

rose lava

Is it a bad sign if you don't get a mid year request for grades?

pseudo oar
#

pton says they want first tri grade so i j sent it right after i got it

robust kindle
#

Tbh I hate application and portal astrology. So I wouldn't really overthink it.

#

I think everyone receives this request idk

ripe ibexBOT

The stars have not aligned for you today.

Instead of doing portal astrology, why don't you astrologize your chances of going outside?

#

my counselor said college doesnt look at second tri grade for admission so

rose lava
#

Most likely not, but they will look at them to make sure you haven't been slacking too hard

#

Just don't get like a D

Or a C

#

My school has insane weighted inflation and grading systems

bleak ridge
#

I think if I get deferred I wouldn’t mind

#

Better than nothing

rose lava
#

I'd rather be rejected than deferred

pseudo oar
pseudo oar
rose lava
#

it's not as big of a W as some think because schools dont care abt your gpa, they just care about the class itself

#

If I'm deferred that would mean uncertainty still exists

pseudo oar
#

if u wanna kill me j kill me dont gm false hope

rose lava
#

but a rejection would really push me to get my ass up and work on other apps, no matter if im depressed

bleak ridge
#

I’d rather have uncertainty over a no

rose lava
pseudo oar

but it does kind of fuck with class rank though

# short hatch And also what made you decide against army for Princeton

I didn't apply to Army for ROTC or for USMA mainly because I want to study Aerospace, and the Army is not the best for that. My dad teases me about it, especially Navy, but he's really totally fine with it. He's been helping me prepare for applying since I decided that serving was something I wanted to do.

Georgia tech asked for my sophomore and freshman transcript but Princeton didn’t (I changed schools during junior year) so does that mean I have no chance at Princeton?

They're not releasing this Thursday because they would have already told us when decision day would be

#

Did u guys get a mid term grade request?

short hatch
#

Did you?

vivid garden
#

Nope

short hatch
#

Nah hella schools are first trimester or first semester, which usually don’t end for a while

#

So usually most kids don’t even have mid year grades to report

#

So I’m assuming we’re still chilling (hopefully)

vivid garden
#

Hopefully

frank pond
#

some schools only do grading based on semesters or years

#

ED & REA usually request first quarter & trimester, while RD requires first semester

vivid garden
#

So if we dont get the first quarter grades requested, there is no hope?

frank pond
#

youre usually required to submit them, but if youre not then its no biggie

#

theres no "disqualifying" emails besides a rejection letter

#

yeha

cunning vortex
#

yuppp

bleak ridge
#

with my stats I bet they put that shit in the shredder lol

bleak ridge
#

What did you write about

cunning vortex
#

but luckily a bunch of other schools asked the same prompt just w diff word count

urban sinew
hollow jewel
#

i didnt see that prompt elsewhere except princeton it was a lived experience/diversity?

#

i forgot i have to redo it

frank pond
#

the 500 word prompt isnt bad

bleak ridge
frank pond
#

i treated it ssorta like another caps and linked it to what i would do at princeton

#

rea is a more competitive pool in general

urban sinew
#

that is true

bleak ridge
urban sinew
#

there isn't really any actual benefit to applying rea unhooked

cunning vortex
bleak ridge
#

True but I wasn’t gonna do EA until my counselor suggested I try

#

So REA was fine w/ me

hollow jewel
urban sinew
#

yea i also rea'd here

frank pond
#

how strong is the benefit to applying rea hooked

bleak ridge
urban sinew
#

definitely helpful

urban sinew
#

there is hope for anyone who gets deferred

bleak ridge
hollow jewel
#

deferred->accepted pipeline is p common?

urban sinew
#

ehh

hollow jewel
#

or do most get in RD

#

flat out

urban sinew
#

i don't have the stats

cunning vortex
#

did u update anything significant after being deferred?

urban sinew
#

but not too common

urban sinew
bleak ridge
#

getting flat out rejected would suck cause they basically sayin “nah fuck yo app we DO NOT wanna see it again”

frank pond
#

i hope i get accepted rea because sending a loci seems annoying

urban sinew
#

yea lol

urban sinew
bleak ridge
urban sinew
#

i was writing it and i was sad because i didn't have much to write about

hollow jewel
#

u can send loci if ur waitlisted as well right for RD?

urban sinew
#

yes

frank pond
#

did you defer your acceptance or are you still a prefrosh (like have you started attending princeton)

cunning vortex

urban sinew

@urban sinew how bad is the grade deflation? Lowkey scared lmaooo

urban sinew
#

it depends on the classes you take

quiet echo
#

Icicic

urban sinew
#

stem classes tend to be a little more deflated than humanities

quiet echo
#

RIP

frank pond
#

do you think doing a minor in visual arts is worth it

urban sinew
#

but even within stem, there are big differences

quiet echo
#

Tatty, do you want to be my older sibling and guide me thru Princeton

#

😁

urban sinew
#

sure lol

quiet echo
#

Yayayyy, I’m going there for preview day in April

urban sinew
#

for example: the math classes (calc 1, calc 2, calc 3, linear) are all graded pretty harshly

bleak ridge
#

idk if I’d even be able to find success with my career plans at Princeton tbh

quiet echo
urban sinew
#

maybe 30% get an A/A-

quiet echo
#

RIP my grades

cunning vortex
quiet echo
urban sinew

however, my math class gives half the kids an A and the other half a B

What’s your hardest class rn (so I can avoid if I can)

quiet echo
#

hollow jewel
#

alr thats good to know

urban sinew
#

because it's the math major track, the department makes it chill to encourage people to stay as a math major

urban sinew
frank pond
#

urban sinew

mat215

quiet echo
#

And it’s required?

urban sinew
#

no

tough eagle
#

they are

#

so im not hooked

frank pond
quiet echo
#

Or they force you huh?

urban sinew
#

yea i'd recommend that unless you got a 5 on ab and feel very confident

#

technically for math you can just place into whatever you want

quiet echo
urban sinew

quiet echo
tough eagle
#

tatty do you know if the teacher certificate is popular at pton

quiet echo
#

How does that work?

urban sinew
#

mat215 (single-variable analysis), mat217 (linear with proofs), mat300 (multi variable analysis)

tough eagle
#

cuz i mentioned it in my app

bleak ridge
urban sinew
#

217 is linear and 300 is multi

urban sinew
tough eagle
#

urban sinew

frank pond
#

is it true that princeton CS students dont play videogames

quiet echo
tough eagle
#

frank pond
#

no need to say thanks

tough eagle
#

bleak ridge

urban sinew

frank pond
# urban sinew what lol

from my parents princeton grad school experience in like 2000 all the CS students they knew didnt play videogames lmao

tough eagle
#

tatty hows the wealth disparity at princeton

#

idk how to say it

#

but similar to the disparity in usc

urban sinew
#

so i guess not bad at all

bleak ridge
#

@urban sinew is there like an income threshold where below it you get everything paid by the school?

urban sinew
#

don't get me wrong, it exists, but i guess rich people don't really flaunt their wealth

hollow jewel
#

@urban sinew where else did u get into

tough eagle
frank pond
#

household income

#

assuming typical assets

bleak ridge
urban sinew

cunning vortex

cunning vortex

hey u dont know yet

tough eagle

bleak ridge

I think I’ll open it w/ my counselor because he put the thought of applying to Pton in my head

#

Would be funny to react to the acceptance/rejection with the person responsible

cunning vortex
#

1 week is going to go by so quickly

frank pond

im pretty sure they already have the preliminary decisions for our apps

cunning vortex

but also slowly bc i'd be counting down each day

So they’re finishing 2nd reads and stuff?

frank pond
#

committee is likely wrapping up, and the final class of 2028 is getting a few slight final adjustments

bleak ridge
#

Hm

orchid axle
bleak ridge
#

Do all apps go to committee?

#

Or only ones that meet basic requirements

frank pond
#

if your application is remotely compelling enough

bleak ridge
#

So most likely we all went to committee

frank pond
#

like if you got deferred you probably made it to committee at least

bleak ridge
#

kinda feels weird to think about how 6 or so people took a handful of minutes to determine the outcome of your education/life/opportunities

frank pond
#

time spent on apps varies

bleak ridge
#

hm

frank pond
#

if you applied and are barely graduating high school, your app will be put in the "unlikely" pile 💀

cunning vortex
bleak ridge
frank pond
#

they will take the time to read all of your essays and additional info sections and stuff

#

dont worry about it

bleak ridge

I hope I did enough then

But I wish I would’ve thought about Princeton earlier

My app was made in 15 days
