Princeton University (2023-2024)

[urban sinew]

[orchid axle]

woah

[tough eagle]

watch me switch majors

[urban sinew]

i'm going to try to get that too

[orchid axle]

never heard of this

[tough eagle]

you should go for it

a full ride is a full ride

[cunning vortex]

honestly i might end up switching majors in college too

[orchid axle]

i got a full ride alr

[tough eagle]

yea i might give up and just do a bba

[hollow jewel]

ORFE is p goated at pton

[tough eagle]

damn how

[cunning vortex]

j depends on what classes and research i end up liking more

[orchid axle]

from my country

[tough eagle]

sick

[cunning vortex]

oh wow

thtas awesome

[bleak ridge]

im trying to do pre-med (requires high GPA maintained) but Princeton grade deflation kinda hurts that

[hollow jewel]

im gonna apply econ tbh and then try to get ORFE if i get admitted

[urban sinew]

pre-med 💀

[bleak ridge]

im so cooked fam

[urban sinew]

to be fair princeton has good placement into med school

because all the med schools know that we are more rigorous

[bleak ridge]

I mean I’d figure but it would be very difficult

[cunning vortex]

wait @urban sinew this is rlly random but does princeton have good cafes near campus

like within 7min of walking

[frank pond]

1 hour train ride to new york

[orchid axle]

are the dorms that bad in princeton

[urban sinew]

like to get coffee?

[orchid axle]

exccept for yeh

[bleak ridge]

wondered about this tbh

how are they

[cunning vortex]

yeah good drinks and like a nice study environment perhaps

[urban sinew]

yeh 😍

[urban sinew]

yeh/ncw are very good

[cunning vortex]

oh if there's good free coffee in the dining halls then ill take it 🤩

[urban sinew]

whitman/butler are decent and have ac

forbes/rocky/mathey are kinda mid

[bleak ridge]

Noted

[orchid axle]

ahh

[bleak ridge]

They just randomly put you into the residential colleges right?

[urban sinew]

yes

[urban sinew]

yea there is

[orchid axle]

really wanted to note it down but ik that none of this matters if i got rejected 😭

[cunning vortex]

hey we can worry about being rejected in a week

[urban sinew]

all the restaurants/businesses are on the north side of campus

so if you are in rocky or mathey then that is 7 minute walk

but if you are in yeh/ncw it is a 15 minute walk

[quiet echo]

There’s a Starbucks on campus apparently

💀

[orchid axle]

last year,i got rejected from all the colleges i fantasize of getting in

ain't gonna make the same mistake again

😄

[urban sinew]

i have never heard of this

[quiet echo]

I saw it on maps LOL

[urban sinew]

there is a "coffee club"

[cunning vortex]

hmmm okay tbh im prob j gonna eat 99% at the dining hall and get special drinks outside

[cunning vortex]

is it still operating okay lol

[urban sinew]

yea the dining halls are good and unlimited "free" food

[cunning vortex]

🙏 u got this

ehehhehe

[bleak ridge]

the only people who know our decision are the uh deciders?

[cunning vortex]

dou plan on joining an eating club

[urban sinew]

yea

[bleak ridge]

we dunno so we might as well relax and prepare

[orchid axle]

still traumatized ngl

lol

[frank pond]

eating clubs sound dumb

[orchid axle]

my interviewer says it's decent

[cunning vortex]

such a big campus tradition tho

[frank pond]

mine said they were a waste of time

[bleak ridge]

100% dumb

[urban sinew]

it's a social thing

[bleak ridge]

Was considering asking the interviewer but didn’t want to be confrontational

[orchid axle]

he says that if you miss out on them you're fine
but if you're in it then it's a good way to socialize

[urban sinew]

yea

that's a good description

[frank pond]

all this talk of princeton is just making me worried about decision day

[cunning vortex]

[uneven bloom]

do you guys know why princeton is asking for my quarter grades

[frank pond]

this is a normal part of REA & ED review

[uneven bloom]

why are they askig so late 😭

[frank pond]

first trimester grades have usually finalized by now

[uneven bloom]

did all of the docs in your portal disappear as well?

[frank pond]

lemme check

yep

dont think too hard on it

[uneven bloom]

oka

[pseudo oar]

Yeah

Smth gonna happen soon

[uneven bloom]

im assuming they're gonna email us a few days ahead of time the day of release

[frank pond]

yes they will send out an official decision day sometime this next week

[pseudo oar]

Yeah

They r prob changing the portal rn

[pale sonnet]

Son Heung-min

[glass sigil]

Is it possible at all for decision to come out today

[meager tulip]

Maybe but idts

[urban sinew]

They would’ve sent an email already

“The decision will come out today” or smth along those lines

[loud jetty]

is the thursday thing true?

that is usually comes out on a thursday?

[uneven bloom]

over the past few years ye

16th in 2021
15th in 2022

assuming 14th this year

[loud jetty]

because brown for instance is on friday-saturday so there’s no reason that princeton or the other ivies would make it thursday right?

[loud jetty]

ohhh

okay gotcha ty

[late swift]

Is there any portal myths

[loud jetty]

wdym portal myths

on like how to view the decision earlier?

[meager tulip]

i have a feeling it might not be thursday this year

i think they will tell us decision date today

maybe

[frank pond]

name checks out

[lapis hill]

why

[meager tulip]

thats crazy

[rose lava]

hi there, on the portal did anyone else have basically all their documents removed?

[frank pond]

yes

no

[late swift]

ye

[frank pond]

currently review is being finalized, comittee is wrapping up, and some apps already have preliminary decisions

[dusty meteor]

no portal astrology!

[white hull]

I have had everything on my portal removed except my test scores

That's actually intriguing, is this something that happens every year

[bleak ridge]

Damn I should check mine

[short hatch]

Yeah same everything’s removed

Bruh did everyone else get a q1 grade req

[bleak ridge]

Let’s go

[short hatch]

Bro

NAH THATS FOUL

it’s cuz half our teams injured or suspended

[bleak ridge]

glory glory man United

[short hatch]

It’s actually crazy

[bleak ridge]

Same for United

and we still beat Chelsea

West Ham clutched up

[short hatch]

Chelsea’s butt fr

[bleak ridge]

And so did Newcastle by losing

We’re back in 6th

[short hatch]

Tottenham needs to step up their game

My boy Sonny’s been doing well

[bleak ridge]

…

[short hatch]

Yep

[short hatch]

…we don’t talk about that game

[short hatch]

Sonny is my boy

[bleak ridge]

Honestly it’s amazing that Newcastle and Tottenham lost

Now we’re 3 behind city, level with you, and ahead of Newcastle

It’s really incredible

[short hatch]

Yeah no that’s insane

[bleak ridge]

Everton clutched up

[short hatch]

Maguire named player of the month did u hear

[bleak ridge]

Ye well deserved

Bros been solid af

[short hatch]

Yeah fr

[frank pond]

My school doesn't do q1 grades and I'm not asking my counselor rn so idk

[short hatch]

It’s crazy cuz like a month ago everyone was hating on him

[bleak ridge]

Anyways life is good for us

Next week we play Bournemouth, and Newcastle plays Spurs

We win and Spurs lose, we go 5th

If it’s a draw we go 2 points ahead of Spurs and 3 ahead of Newcastle

[lapis hill]

best team in the championship

[wooden ginkgo]

Where do they request it

I didn't see any q1 request

[late swift]

prolly they send it to your school

[late swift]

If they are out send them along princeton

[uneven bloom]

Looks like only some

[bleak ridge]

It’s ok broski

I didn’t get one either

Got all my stuff taken off the checklist too

[short hatch]

Yeah it’s chill

I don’t want a grade req

[short hatch]

Yeah Man Us got a good next few games ahead

I need Maddison to come back

[short hatch]

Same same

If I did get one I don’t think my counselor will see until tmrw morning

[bleak ridge]

Nah we’re fucked cause we got Villa, West Ham, and Liverpool

Plus Bayern

After the weekend

[bleak ridge]

I don’t think I got one but if I did that would be cool

[short hatch]

Do u think it means smth if u get a grade req

Or is it sneaky arbitrary

[uneven bloom]

They put everything back into my portal

this is so bizarre LOL

[short hatch]

Mine too

[bleak ridge]

Same tf

[uneven bloom]

is the portal bugging or are they still doing stuff at 8 PM

[wooden ginkgo]

same with me too

[white hull]

Same

[rose lava]

same

[orchid axle]

my portal's not bugging

[rose lava]

I appreciate the sentiment, but in the end it's just a crapshoot 😩

Also yeah my portal has been bugging hella

All of my stuff was there, then it was just my SAT score and optional supplements, then it's all back now and one of my material dates updated

[orchid axle]

i just checked it now tho

just woke up

[rose lava]

yours probably bugged for a little bit

i think it was probably like a 2hr period

maybe a lil more or less idk

[tough eagle]

[orchid axle]

how many colleges are you guys planning to apply to?

[tough eagle]

[orchid axle]

Nah

This is a good amount

[tough eagle]

13

[livid moat]

I’m doing like 15 + 7 ucs

[orchid axle]

i hope we can get in to at least one

[tough eagle]

Purdue is my safety as an intl cuz imma make that full pay money's worth

[lapis hill]

i didn't bother doing ucs, cali + each uc hella expensive

each year is like 70k in loans

[livid moat]

Help? Purdue isn’t a safety 😭

[tough eagle]

it isnt ik

[orchid axle]

my safety is berkeley 💀

[livid moat]

I’m in state so it’s going to be my cheapest

[tough eagle]

but i aint paying full pay for like ASU or sth

[lapis hill]

oh mb

best of luck then!!

[livid moat]

You’re all good

[livid moat]

Hoping la clutches up

[lapis hill]

i heard the food there is 10/10

[livid moat]

You could also go to a uk school right

[livid moat]

Yes + guaranteed housing + actual work life balance

[lapis hill]

on the contrary i heard pton food is mid

like breakfasts are meh, dinners good

but eating clubs ftw

[livid moat]

I didn’t try the food when I went

Penn had mid food though

[orchid axle]

tbh idc abt food / housing anymore just LET ME IN pls

[lapis hill]

same

[livid moat]

Best part was the guy giving me free dr insomniacs

[lapis hill]

nah lowkey you should

[livid moat]

^

[wooden ginkgo]

I took a history paper

[lapis hill]

cuz if you're going to a top university its gonna be hella stressful

imagine walking to a sweltering/frigid dorm

about to throw up from bad food

[livid moat]

Idk if I have a history one 😀 at least not something that’s not a dbq or leq

[orchid axle]

the princeton ppl i know are loving princeton tho

housing and food wise

[wooden ginkgo]

A freshman at Princeton told me that one of his classes makes him read 400 pages a week

[livid moat]

Wtf

Me rn actually

[lapis hill]

thats good to hear

[lapis hill]

thank god im not humanities

[orchid axle]

maybe bcs they get a full ride

lol

[wooden ginkgo]

There is a stem version of it

[livid moat]

AP lit took the college part too seriously and my teacher decided that we read a book people read their junior year of college

[wooden ginkgo]

So you will probably have to do it as well

He told me the name of the class, but I forgot it

[lapis hill]

i gotta get in first lmaooooo 😭

[orchid axle]

lmaoo

[wooden ginkgo]

You will make it

We all will

[orchid axle]

🤲

[lapis hill]

i hope we do

sometimes i wonder how i came across to my admissions officer

like what kind of person do they think i am

[wooden ginkgo]

Princeton is like my town, but with a college campus and Philly influence

[livid moat]

I keep seeing people who got in Ed and I’m like dang will not be me

[wooden ginkgo]

The funny thing was when Oppenheimer was at Princeton in the movie, I knew the exact building right off the bat

[lapis hill]

that was me but with mit

[wooden ginkgo]

Nice

[lapis hill]

when i was a sophomore i was obsessing over that place

when i finally got for a tour there i started freaking out at every place i remembered

[wooden ginkgo]

The reason why I knew it was because they host a quiz bowl tournament every year in that building

Which is East Pyne Hall

[wooden ginkgo]

Lol

[lapis hill]

i lowkey wish i did quiz bowl

i tried to bring it into my sci oly club but we're too spread thin on funds

[wooden ginkgo]

That sucks

In the past, my team would split the registration costs

So everyone paid out of pocket

[lapis hill]

oh

[wooden ginkgo]

A lot of colleges have quiz bowl teams

So you could pursue it

[lapis hill]

yeah imma join

it seems fun

my goal is to go to jeopardy one day

[wooden ginkgo]

It's a great community

I believe in you

[lapis hill]

tyyy

[wooden ginkgo]

Are you in the northeast by any chance?

[lapis hill]

yeah i am hbu

[wooden ginkgo]

I'm asking bc there is a quiz bowl server that has a bunch of northeast teams

[wooden ginkgo]

Same

[lapis hill]

oh fr

[wooden ginkgo]

If you are interested, I can get you an invite

[cosmic crater]

Who’s excited for dec 14

[lapis hill]

[wooden ginkgo]

[lapis hill]

[sand crane]

Im scared for dec 14

[wooden ginkgo]

I will send it once I get the invite

[cosmic crater]

Real

[lapis hill]

[wooden ginkgo]

No problem

[sand crane]

At this time next week we’ll have the decisions alr

Damn

[bleak ridge]

AAAAAAAAAA

[bleak ridge]

the night of dec 13th will be impossible to get sleep on

[sand crane]

Imma make myself tired af that day so i can sleep lol

[cosmic crater]

I was supposed to have a test on 14th morning but it got moved 💀

So I’ll actually not fall asleep

[livid moat]

Melatonin ✅

[cosmic crater]

Actually I might

Cuz it’s not out at midnight

[livid moat]

Y’all staying up will just make it worse 😭

[cosmic crater]

Yeah imma sleep

Mostly cuz school the next day

Also cuz I love sleep

[sand crane]

Staying up and not getting in is the worst combo

[cosmic crater]

I plan on sleeping after my decision too

[livid moat]

Yeah agreed I’m positive that’s ending in tears

[livid moat]

I’m going to be extremely motivated to finish rd apps!

[cosmic crater]

Sleeping + getting in = best combo

Best not to stress

[cunning vortex]

Excited to hopefully be done w this process

[cunning vortex]

Wont be able to pay attention in class all da6

[pale sonnet]

no all my documents still show on my portal. is this a bad sign?

[sand crane]

Same

Idt it matters tho

[wooden ginkgo]

They are probably just getting the portal ready

or it was a glitch on their end

[short hatch]

it was just for a moment, they fixed it a couple hours back i think

so i think prolly jappened to everyone, but too brief of a time period to notice

[pale sonnet]

Thank you

[tough eagle]

yall are all your documents still showing on the portal?

[lapis hill]

[tough eagle]

Doubt it

Just making sure I’m not alone

bruh wtf is pton doing rn

[frank pond]

finishing apps review

[tough eagle]

If my app made it to committee I’d cry

[pseudo oar]

😭

[quiet echo]

Graded paper prolly take up like 1%

[pseudo oar]

yeah i think so

i saw a post and ppl say graded paper is only to check u can survive in the pton seminar course

and also the senior thesis

[bleak ridge]

https://ivyhub.org/rejection-simulators/princeton/

me rn

basically simulates the rejection for me ahead of time

[void talon]

i didnt get asked to send my mid semester report but i think my schools counselors just send them anyways - is there anyway to see if theyre in the portal?

[short hatch]

yeah on commonapp apparently

in FERPA and Recommendations the "Midyear Report"

[void talon]

oh ok ill check

oh yeah it was sent

our counselors just sent it everywhere

[static shadow]

!princeton

[exotic raptor]

In the Princeton portal, the date for my transcript changed from October (when I submitted) to 11/22, is there any known reason for this?

[frank pond]

this might be your counselor's q1 or trimester 1 grade report coming in

[exotic raptor]

That would make sense, we do quarters so a mid-year report doesn’t really exist yet

[static shadow]

sorry for the dumb question, has princeton's rea deadline come out yet?

[exotic raptor]

Not yet! Speculation has it on the 14th but we don’t know for sure yet.

[static shadow]

ok ty!

[short hatch]

just to clarify, not everyone will get a grade request from princy right? or how does that work

[sand crane]

Idk bcs im gap year, i’ve sent all my scores

[exotic raptor]

Yes, not everyone will get a grade request. I’ve read of many people either getting the request and getting deferred or not getting the request and getting accepted. It’s generally regarded as positive to receive the request, but there’s not a strong correlation between admission chances if you get one or not. 🙂

[short hatch]

alright great

lowkey not tryna get a request

[rose lava]

Hm... does anyone know what it looks like in common app if a request is received?

When looking in the FERPA section I see the section for Midyear Report, but it's just blank.

[lapis hill]

what about optional report

that's another section they place them in i think

[rose lava]

Hmmm... still seems to be just blank

[lapis hill]

must be odd

[rose lava]

Damn.

[lapis hill]

did princeton ask for your grades?

[rose lava]

I'm not sure where I see that

Do I ask my counselor?

[lapis hill]

i mean thats likely the only way to find out but imo it feels a little bit pushy to ask

considering that if they ask or not ur decision is going to remain whatever your decision is

idk

[rose lava]

That is true. I'm just wondering if that's like a final consideration type thing that they do. No clue though, just a thought

[exotic raptor]

I mean, Princeton asked for mine but my Common App isn’t updated yet so I don’t think it’s a sure sign by any means.

[lapis hill]

i think these grades are the tipping point between accepted/defer and defer/denied

[rose lava]

Did you end up asking your counselor?

[exotic raptor]

Unless that weird Princeton portal thing I mentioned earlier is related

[frank pond]

i seriously doubt this

[lapis hill]

so idt they'll request if you're a sure choice for either three

[frank pond]

when you apply, you already have 3 years of academic track record filled out

[lapis hill]

thats true

[exotic raptor]

My counselor was the one that told me about the request, so I’m assuming she knew about it and submitted 🤷‍♂️

[lapis hill]

like i said i'm pretty unsure abt it so pls dont take my word for it

[frank pond]

a minute change in one quarter, like getting a B in ap stats or something, doesnt mean you will be a less desirable applicant

[tough eagle]

im so nervous about decision day ahhhhhh

[frank pond]

it'll come around soon enough

focus on your schoolwork, hang out with friends, and the days will pass by in a fly

[rose lava]

Hmmm Ok

[tough eagle]

its gonna come out on the last day of school

and i have a drama thing that day

its gonna ruin my drama day

[lapis hill]

yeah true I was thinking of it like the final tip to a student they really can't decide abt

[frank pond]

if theyre not sure, theyll defer

[lapis hill]

i'm riffing off this reddit post on a2c

[lapis hill]

that's true

[rose lava]

I saw a post on reddit just now that there are people who have been accepted EA without a grade request, and people with requests who got in as well

That is interesting

[lapis hill]

btw i'm curious what the deans list role means

[rose lava]

I mean it's possible that the ones who received a request had some element of uncertainty? Likely not, but just a thought

[frank pond]

i help organize server events and qotd's

idk i just kinda got it alongside benz and squirmy and mat for contributing to the server a lot

like i made the qb banner and icon for example

[lapis hill]

gotcha

thats a W

[tough eagle]

billert do you know much about aerodynamics

[frank pond]

no

[tough eagle]

oh damn

[frank pond]

yeah havent looked much into the subject

[tough eagle]

issa ok

[lapis hill]

ur into aerodynamics?

i have a friend who's into that

[tough eagle]

i just have to prepare for a 3 minute lecture about it in 5 days

[tough eagle]

i mean kinda

i find it cool and stuff

[lapis hill]

oh nice

[tough eagle]

i have no passions in life

[lapis hill]

lmao same

actually nah

[rose lava]

i have one passion: obsessively browsing a2c

[lapis hill]

i like watching sunsets

watch a sunset

very therapeutic

[tough eagle]

i like the trombone and winds in general

and percussion

[lapis hill]

can you play the imperial march on them

[tough eagle]

ye on the trombone

[lapis hill]

W

[frank pond]

did you apply rea @tough eagle

[tough eagle]

ye

why

[lapis hill]

i want to witness the imperial march that's played by an orchestra

[tough eagle]

gaddamn so jealous

[lapis hill]

nah i didn't yet

i want to tho

it would be amazing

[tough eagle]

oh want i misread

it quite good yes

aight gtg i have an choir rehearsal

[sand crane]

Srsly tho dont you think its like kinda shallow if these grades were the tipping point

Idk tho

[tough eagle]

i dont think anything is the tipping point

grades are more the bare minimum

[exotic raptor]

The youth orchestra I play principal oboist in performed it live last month! It was a cool experience

[tough eagle]

and then its your essays and recs and shit

and ecs

i assume colleges want a bit of every type of people

[sand crane]

Like what tho

[lapis hill]

honestly you never know

fact of the matter is that subjectivity plays a role in admissions

because aos are human

[tough eagle]

this is my ao https://admission.princeton.edu/profile/esteban-aguas

[lapis hill]

so an A in calc bc might be extra reinforcement as to why someone is gonna get into cs

[sand crane]

We have the same ao

[tough eagle]

yippee

where you from?

[lapis hill]

if they see a C in calc an likely accept becomes a defer

but that's my thinking

[sand crane]

Indonesia

[tough eagle]

ooooohhhhh

im from hk

[frank pond]

a fall from an A to a C is concerning, but grades are not the end all be all

[lapis hill]

i really don't know this proccess so take my words with a big grain of salt

[tough eagle]

is it ok if i have non-top grades?

[frank pond]

yes

[sand crane]

Cool

[lapis hill]

yeah

[frank pond]

grades are only one part of a holistic review process

[tough eagle]

like A* max im predicted 2A*2A

my ecs are so mid too

im back into this loop again its so joever

[sand crane]

Are you like born and raised in hk or just raised there

[tough eagle]

born and raised

can speak the language

look the part

[sand crane]

Cantonese

[tough eagle]

yessir

[lapis hill]

honestly if you dared to think you can do princeton it means you have drive and are willing to do shit

[tough eagle]

am ethnically han chinese

[sand crane]

Mandarin?

[lapis hill]

you'll be successful anywhere

[tough eagle]

yea

[tough eagle]

thanks i guess

genuinely though if i got into gatech id cry

happy tears

if i see a tiger on my princeton portal id scream cry shit myself

[lapis hill]

honestly this whole server is a bunch of kids who are trying to put their best foot forward and thats already a big positive step

[sand crane]

You’re trilingual then

[tough eagle]

yea

[sand crane]

That’s so cool!

[tough eagle]

thank you

wbu?

billingual?

[sand crane]

Im trilingual too

[tough eagle]

sick what language

[sand crane]

Indonesian english mandarin

[tough eagle]

ooooooohhhhhh

anyways i have to go

[lapis hill]

what do you guys consider trilingual, like full fluency or just spoken

[sand crane]

Hm

for me indonesian is my first language
Been learning english since i was 4 and mandarin since I was five

[lapis hill]

oh i see

[tough eagle]

Yea same

[sand crane]

For me you should be able to listen read speak and write to be considered fluent

[lapis hill]

for me i've learned english formally all my life but know to speak two other languages spoken at home

can't write tho lmao

[sand crane]

Or not then most ppl can be considered as

[tough eagle]

For me you have to be able to think in the language

[sand crane]

Whats it called

Polyglot

[lapis hill]

bro theres this guy on youtube that speaks so many languages

i forgot him but he's like if i can't guess your language i'll give you 20 euros

or smth

[sand crane]

Ive seen people going on omegle too doing the language thing

[sand crane]

Ever heard of hokkianese or hakka

[lapis hill]

polyglots are them tbh

[lapis hill]

yes i have

like once or twice

[sand crane]

Yea i speak those two too

[lapis hill]

oh that's so cool

[sand crane]

But i cant read / write

[lapis hill]

lowkey W language skills dude

[tough eagle]

Do they even have a reading/ writing system?

[sand crane]

Idt ive seen any hokkianese / hakka literature my entire life too

[sand crane]

Thats it

Im not sure as well

[cunning vortex]

🙏

[sand crane]

🙏 🙏

[cunning vortex]

ik they're going to release it someday soon

but im getting annoyed lowkey

like does it take THAT long to just let us know when ur releasing it

even tho ik it's most likely gonna be the 14th at 7pm est

is that j me 💀

[sand crane]

Maybe they havent wrapped up their rea decisions?

Honestly do many people rea to Princeton?

Compared to its hysm counterparts

[tough eagle]

I’d say similar

[pseudo oar]

I think less tbh

[sand crane]

They’ve been covering their numbers so its rlly hard to track

[cunning vortex]

it seemed like compared to hypsm (+columbia) they receive relatively less

i think in general they get like 3-4k less applicants per yr

[bleak ridge]

Not particularly the tipping point but a sign they’re taking your app very seriously

Like if you’re borderline wouldn’t they pull up the grades and see what you did?

At least for me personally w/ lower stats, the fact they haven’t requested is a sign I’m fucked

so fucked

[lilac topaz]

[cunning vortex]

[random heart]

who is responsible for the applicants from Cambodia

[sand crane]

Check on website bro

[robust kindle]

@livid moat I'm a gap year applicant too and still got one

[orchid axle]

really?

that's interesting

what kind of grades can they ask for if you've graduated?

[livid moat]

? Did you @ the wrong person

[tough eagle]

https://admission.princeton.edu/apply/counselors/meet-admission-team my guess is Helen dorini

[robust kindle]

yh It's a bit weird because I already graduated but I don't really know if it means much. im an intl student

[orchid axle]

im intl too

my counselor just never opens his emails so

if they informed me i wouldn't know either

[tough eagle]

Poor you

[orchid axle]

haha

is it that important though? if it is I might travel back to my school and request for a meeting with him

[robust kindle]

Same I'm from an underrepresented country and my school barely has a counselor
He rarely checks his email too lol I'm lowkey surprised that he notifyed me about the request

[orchid axle]

hm

and what did you send

in the end

[robust kindle]

Ig he told them that I already graduated and that he already sent all my transcripts

[orchid axle]

ah

my counselor doesnt speak english

which complicates things

bruh

[robust kindle]

Where are you from?

[orchid axle]

Indonesia

crap what if he sent a recommendation letter in indonesian

[robust kindle]

How did he write your counselor rec letter then?

[orchid axle]

that's what i'm thinking abt

rn

sHit

just connected the dots

well ig its submitted

can't change it

[robust kindle]

dw im sure he found some way to translate it back then 🙂

[orchid axle]
