i personally wouldn't take that risk 😭

the other 4300 kids bout to faced with "thank you for your interest in princeton university. at this time, we are unable to..."

surreal cosmos
#

ive been going back and forth between trying to manifest an acceptance by telling myself i got in versus lowering expectations and saying i didn't so i can not get disappointed

cunning vortex
#

and then they say like smth smth put you on a waiting list

old grotto
#

oh

#

right

cunning vortex
#

idek doesnt matter

rose lava
#

I was so paralyzed this time last year I literally didn’t open the decision for half an hour cause I was so scared

rose lava
#

I was just staring at my computer

#

no matter what happens you will all be fine the fact that you’re even applying means that you probably have what it takes to get into a ton of other schools

surreal cosmos
#

no thats literally me whenever i have to open any scary decision on my computer

rose lava
#

And Princeton is awesome but it is nowhere near perfect there are tons of other schools that are just as amazing

surreal cosmos
#

this is refreshing to hear thank u🥹

rose lava
#

I found out yesterday that all classes are pass fail at MIT and CalTech their first year and I am so envious 😭

bleak ridge
#

acceptance or rejection we all got lives to live

rose lava
#

I think Harvard does the same thing first semester

surreal cosmos
#

im literally gonna be at a movie premier from 6:30-8:00 PM so im probably not gonna be able to open it until 830 which sucksss cuz ik im not gonna be able to focus on the movie im j gonna be thinking abt if i got in or not lol

@rose lava do you think the freshman seminar is fun

#

Or in other words do you like it

rose lava
#

There are tons and a wide variety

#

I like mine though yeah

wooden ginkgo
#

funny thing, the reason why I chose princeton over the other ivies was because they have an actual aerospace program

#

at first, I thought none of the ives had aerospace engineering and then one day I look at the princeton website and happened to find it there

I never want to take a SPIA class they suck

#

and I don’t think I ever wanna do eco300 or whatever

polar moss
#

literally read the news

#

LMFAO

#

it is seriously not that complex

rose lava
#

I think that’s a little dismissive 😭 the IR side is cool too I feel like most of the people who do SPIA do it as an international relations thing

#

But the requirements are just so restrictive tbh I want to learn about what I want to learn about

#

I’m gonna hit all the SPIA pre-reqs just in case I change my mind but I really doubt I do atp

polar moss
#

i mean i got appointed to the dnc to advise climate policy as a high schooler who had never taken a course about public policy sooo

#

what does that say about how difficult this stuff is

dawn glacier
#

is econ at princeton hard?

its quite intuitive

are you allowed to double major btw? its been a hot minute since i looked at princetons academics

short hatch
short hatch
#

j major and minor

#

could be wrong tho

polar moss
#

nah u cant double major

#

cause they want u to focus on one thing

frank pond
#

i think its weird how if you want to minor you also have to do a senior thesis for the minor

dawn glacier
#

ah ok

cunning vortex
#

so

polar moss
frank pond
#

oh is it one thesis about major + minor at the same time

rose lava
#

Yeah you don’t do a separate thesis

thats a stretch

You can do as many minors as you want I think but eventually it gets to be too much

dawn glacier
polar moss
rose lava
#

I’ll probably do POL with a History minor

dawn glacier
#

gotta stop getting too far ahead of myself

polar moss
#

orfe is hard because it's the engineering track

dawn glacier
#

need to see how tmr goes first

rose lava
#

Orfe is tough yeah

#

BSE is generally harder than AB especially your first two years

#

Like half the ORFE majors I know are switching to Econ 😭

dawn glacier
polar moss
#

personally i made it through calc 3 and am done lol

rose lava
#

It’s an engineering degree

short hatch
#

is there an advantage to a BSE over AB or nah

polar moss
rose lava
#

I don’t really think so

#

obviously some majors can only be bse

dawn glacier
polar moss
#

bse is more rigorous and will show better preparation for industry

rose lava
#

I think the only one that can be either is comp sci

let me approach this from the y=0 and x=0 and x=y lines yes certainly

yesterday my teacher taught us vector fields and apparently its easy so it he taught the entire lesson yesterday

the issue is, i was sick yesterday so i basically have to self study the entire unit

I didn’t go to the review session but this was my gc

polar moss

i was going through the practice final and we had to guess that if you multiplied like sin(piy)/y by pi up and below, you could create sin(piy)/piy and use the trig limit identity sin(x)/x=1 to prove it

There are a lot of kids I know who got in with lower scores than i thought would make it it’s not all about stats

do you guys think that if I sent in additional info to princeton for rea on december 3rd/4th they read it alongside my app?

??

#

Its in the past

tough eagle
sand crane
#

Um

#

We cant tell

rose lava

depends on if they already made a decision? But unless it’s a major thing probably not

If they disagree you go to committee

ah so if someone gets two no's they don't get a table read?

only in the case that it is yes/yes

i didnt rea and i posted one over the summer (august) and tho i was going t/o i got like 2-4 responses saying id get into t20s even if i went t/o

makes me think rd may have been the smarter choice lmao

polar moss
rose lava
shy summit
#

which is why the whole idea of a chance me is dumb

because admissions are dumb past a certain point

if anyone

or what they happen to be looking for

though they probably want to see stronger math and science courses if you’re bse

they dont know shit

short hatch

#

do y'all think ab vs bc matters much if you're not applying for stem

polar moss
#

no

shy summit
#

ok cool

cunning vortex
#

how much are ap scores taken into consideration

rose lava
#

BC is always probably better?

#

I only took up to AB though

cunning vortex
#

i heard theyre not rlly that important

rose lava
#

it shouldn’t matter too much

shy summit
#

i took bc pre calc but dropped down with like an 88

#

and now have a 99 in ab calc lol

rose lava
#

I think strong AP scores help a lot if you’re school isn’t as well known

#

They back up the grades you have

tough eagle
rose lava
#

They trust grading at prep schools and shit but if you’re from a big public that doesn’t send kids to ivies usually it’ll at least show that you learned the content

#

@polar moss what are your thoughts on new jersey

polar moss
# hollow jewel you had so much shit how did u sort them out

to answer this more in depth, i think i thought about what body of work each accolade represented and what it said about me. unconventional stuff like being an official invited and featured panelist somewhere took precedence over like other random stuff

wet pilot
# short hatch are u leaning towards either of the two?

So I've wanted to go to USAFA since I was in 7th grade, but in ninth grade we toured USNA and I started leaning Navy. Now I'm just confused, but I plan to study Aerospace, and don't think I really want to be a pilot, so Air Force makes a little more sense.
