ApplyingToCollege

[rose lava]

yo for loci should i send pdf or email and also should i send to dean or admissions office

[urban sinew]

I emailed the admissions officer

But honestly I think anything goes

[gilded stone]

you guys dont have christian mccaffrey🥶

[wet pilot]

Christain McCaffrey almost single handedly won me my fantasy football league. The Broncos suck, so go Niners I guess. Anyone but KC

[manic jay]

GO LIONS

[manic jay]

I fucking passed on cmc for jamarr chase

Worst mistake of my life

[wet pilot]

Oof. That's pain. I had some really lucky pick ups. I needed a running back to replace an injured player, and happened to pick up De’Von Achane from the Dolphins the week he went OFF for like 50 points. Then he got injured, but he did pretty well for me in the play offs

[manic jay]

I didnt use the waiver wire at all

[urban sinew]

I got jettas

[manic jay]

I had 3rd pick someone in my league took mahomes 1 then jettas 2 so i had the choice of cmc and jamarr and i thought cmc would get hurt like usual so i went with jamarr

And the opposite happened

Jamarr and joe got hurt

[urban sinew]

Who tf took mahomes 1 💀

[tough eagle]

my recent achievements are so ass

[manic jay]

Some bozo

[queen veldt]

when does princeton begin reviewing applications
i have one update to make but i believe there will be more updates to come in the future

[brazen crow]

just update as soon as you have it

they prob start reading right after the deadline if not earlier

theres no guarantee theyll review ur app w the update in mind so just try to get it in asap

• what my counselor told me

[queen veldt]

shoot

thanks for telling me that

i would have waited until feb 15

[fierce river]

basically they do first reads then committees probably begin in february some time

they might not have it for your firstread

if you’re brought to the committee stage then they’ll consider the updates

[queen veldt]

Ah okay

What’s the first reads

[queen veldt]

Getting rid of the obvious “rejected”?

[fierce river]

depends on the school in some everyone is discussed at committee, others have it so only the top are discussed

[hardy tartan]

has anyone had their princeton interview/have any advice for them?

i have mine tomorrow and am feeling a bit worried

[cosmic crater]

i have mine on monday !! good luck :)

[hardy tartan]

you too!!

[wet pilot]

It will depend on your interviewer, but mine was super laid back and we just talked about the school and my life goals lol

[orchid axle]

Same

My interviewer and I talked a lot about family life as well

So it really depends on the interviewer

[glass sigil]

how should I do LOCI for this school?

Should I upload it to the applicant portal or email my AO

or both

[dusty meteor]

Pton interviews don’t really matter right ?

[hardy tartan]

i hope

[tough eagle]

I don’t know but I’ll do both

[orchid axle]

!ivyday

ApplyingToCollege

[quiet echo]

Nah they dont

[tardy fiber]

Yet anotehr luck appears

[quiet echo]

I’m the only luck?

[rose lava]

I would say the interviews matter

definitely not as much as the rest of your application but a good interview can help

[tardy fiber]

^

[uneven bloom]

Not a deal breaker but considered as a part of the process

[quiet echo]

Maybe if they’re at a 50/50, but most of the time I feel like they alr have a stance as to where your app is

[dusty meteor]

dang, i have to clutch up w my interview

[quiet echo]

Tbh imo, interview have close to 0 impact for your app, even if you have a super good interview

If They decide to reject you, you can’t change that with a good interview

[dusty meteor]

im getting a likely tho so 🤐

[quiet echo]

If you’re getting a likely, why stress about interview lol

[dusty meteor]

i have to pretend i dont know my likely is coming so pton doesnt get in trouble

silly

[tardy fiber]

How many people in a2c usually get a likely letter I wonder

[quiet echo]

Ohh

You’re so smart

Duhh. It’s obvious Princeton only gives like 1 likely this early in a super secret way

[dusty meteor]

yup, im exposing the pton admission process

[quiet echo]

Fr

[quiet echo]

0

[tardy fiber]

Nah I know a few

[quiet echo]

They’re a figment of your imagination

[tardy fiber]

I don't think so lol

[rose lava]

I don't think Princeton sends likely letters lol

i don't know of anyone who got one last year

[tardy fiber]

they do

but I just meant overall

Like how many peopel from A2C do you think gets a likely letter from an ivy every year

[summer spruce]

only me 😎

[tardy fiber]

wrong you're going to mit

[summer spruce]

yeah, imma get the first ever mit likely letter

[rose lava]

it might be only to athletes

[hardy tartan]

this one guy at my school last year committed to mit for athletics but then rescinded his commitment bc he got recruited by harvard 😭

he’s actually insane

[rose lava]

what sport?

[hardy tartan]

baseball

[tacit cloud]

my interview is supposed to be in less than 3 hours from now and my interviewer and i agreed to do it in person in his office but he still hasnt responded with the address/location 😔

[sharp rover]

I have found an article titled like this by my Princeton interviewer. I have stalked him way too much, right?

[orchid axle]

what is this.

[sharp rover]

an article my interviewer wrote.

💀

[cursive ore]

Definitely gonna grill you on current political issues

[solemn kiln]

ask him about it

please please please

[quaint parcel]

Lagging on my fin aid apps

[orchid axle]

Same

[hardy tartan]

if anyone has their interview coming up, my interviewer just asked me about: 1. why princeton, 2. why you, 3. what got you into your interests/major, 4. what part of you do you feel isn't represented in your application, 5. what hurdles have you faced, and then the latter half of the interview was talking abt their background and any questions i might have for them

[rose lava]

Interviewers can ask wildly different questions, but I think most will be basically 1. Why Princeton 2. Why you 3. Time to ask them questions about their experience at Princeton

[dusty meteor]

I hâte why you !

[noble nexus]

guys i just ate up my interview 🤞🤞

[hardy tartan]

AYYY W

[full crane]

hey yall interview tmrw!! my interviewer is 70 years old and is very engaged in conservative politics. should i avoid talking about me wanting to do gender studies as a certificate?

bc a lot of my ECs are related to that

[prime nexus]

i mean surely you’re not the first person who has more of a liberal perspective he’s interviewed

i don’t think you should censor yourself based off that bc then he might get that vibe yk

[full crane]

i live in a super conservative neighbourhood

i rlly doubt

[sharp rover]

I mean, in general mentioning gender studies will make you sound like a walking circus, but there's no way to avoid it if you applied for gender studies, right? so just don't try to hide it.

[full crane]

why would it make me a walking circus? it's a certificate. similar to sociology. not everything is meant to get me a job

im majoring in econ/IR

hope that calms you

this is just a side interest

[full crane]

got it

maybe ill foocus on other things and briefly mention it if he asks what major/minors interest me

[prime nexus]

yepp

that sounds good

[dusty meteor]

Be nice 💀

[dusty meteor]

I mean gender studies doesn’t have to be some sort of “”Uber liberal thing”, you can talk about wanting to see how dynamics between genders have changed or were created 🤷‍♀️

[full crane]

yesyes this is smart

thanks. ill connect it to my interest in the middle east minor. we'll see how that goes and if i can make it apolitical

[meager mango]

I think if u can talk respectfully and empathetically about it, it could actually be a huge plus

like u can show how u can talk to ppl with different opinions 🤷‍♂️

[meager mango]

…

[full crane]

thank you for the advice!

[full crane]

it's okay it's an opinion

but a little harsh

[quiet echo]

You got it @full crane just believe in yourself

[quiet echo]

Hello

[orchid axle]

yoo

Haha

[quiet echo]

@orchid axle Are you doing the freshman summer program if you’re invited

[orchid axle]

idts

my parents would be mad if i went earlier

[quiet echo]

Yk the one I’m talking about?

That pays you

It’s called FSI

[orchid axle]

my parents want to take me on a summer holiday

[quiet echo]

Mine too

💀

[orchid axle]

good luck on your surgery!

[quiet echo]

Tyyyyy

@orchid axle What country are you from

[orchid axle]

Indonesia

how do you get invited for fsi though

It’s mostly for FGLI and people whose school are ass so they can experience Princeton. They start sending invites in may

[orchid axle]

[orchid axle]

Buttt, it’s EST, so idk how you would wake up for that

💀

[orchid axle]

[quiet echo]

FSI allows you to take a college class to let you experience college’s workload

It’s some no name elective class

You won’t miss out much I think (I’m coping I can’t do FSI)

[orchid axle]

did you get in with QB?

[quiet echo]

Yup

[orchid axle]

mm

[quiet echo]

Why

[orchid axle]

that means you're not applying elsewhere for RD right

[hollow jewel]

[livid moat]

You’re crazy

[hollow jewel]

mj, lebron, kareem, shaq, kobe, bird, magic>>

[livid moat]

And curry…

[manic jay]

You do NOT know ball

Curry is number 10

No one has him top 5

Except warriors fans

[clever holly]

sorry but Messi and Ronaldo>>>>>>>>>>

[manic jay]

💀💀

[livid moat]

Stfu

[livid moat]

What do you think I am…

I’m ngl though I’ve been very disappointed in curry this season

Like wtf is he shooting a 3 when they’re down 1-2 in the fourth with 10 seconds left

[manic jay]

Nah im genuinely not even hating this time i swear

[livid moat]

Like be so fr

[manic jay]

Curry is consensus top 10

Nobody has him top 5

[livid moat]

I do 😡

[manic jay]

Except his fans

Ofc

[clever holly]

who is curry?

[manic jay]

Nba player

[clever holly]

chicken tikka masala > chicken curry

[manic jay]

Yooo how is ur name on the right side

Is it bc of arabic

[clever holly]

yea

[livid moat]

LOL

[cedar hound]

I lost $10 betting curry would hit the game winner because they decided to secede 2 free throws with 4 seconds left

[hollow jewel]

only objective opinion

[hollow jewel]

kyrie irving's son

[livid moat]

😭 they are not good in the last min

[urban sinew]

As a warriors fan curry is not top 5 all time ‼️

Around 10

[marble egret]

if princeton emails me askingto update my missing financial aid app does that mean theyre interested?

[clever holly]

no

it means your financial aid app is missing

[marble egret]

unfortunate

i tried

[quaint parcel]

pton interview thru facetime in 1 min

didnt do research

wish me luck

[manic jay]

good luck

[quaint parcel]

ahh had a good interview

!!!

he was so nice and we talked about travel cause the guy was a spanish major

i really like this school now even tho it such a reach

[clever holly]

i have never met someone that got into princeton in real life

those mf don't exist

[quiet echo]

@livid moat 14-0

What happened to the niners??

[livid moat]

Didn’t ask just wait

[orchid axle]

Well i think it’s because his team sucks

[rose lava]

Detroit sb 😹

[orchid axle]

Gsw needs replacements here and there

Lebron is just lucky the lakers keep on updating their roster for him

Like wiggins idfk what’s wrong with him but he aint contributin

[full crane]

finished interview

why am I so unlucky

All my interviews talked about politics

[hollow jewel]

curry has always had a good team around him

[hollow jewel]

lebron demolishes superteams

remember how he took shitty cavs to a ring

2016 finals

that cleveland lineup

[meager mango]

R u applying under polisci?

[hollow jewel]

he has to go and so does klay

klay still thinks hes him

[full crane]

my interviewer was 70 years old. had to explain to him what chatgpt was 😃😃😃😃 he had that princeton booklet and was very by the book (reading the questions off his page)

I'll write down all the questions when I get home

[full crane]

Not really

I did econ/gov/wgs at most schools

The question was from his princeton question guide: "tell me about a current event topic from the news and your thoughts about it"

[thick seal]

i feel like gov is close enough

ah

hmm

yeah that’s hard

[full crane]

Yeah gov is close but this was before I even told him my academic interests

[clever holly]

bruh i hate these questions

[full crane]

It's okay i had a normal answer

But it sucks that it was written in his interview book

He gave me 2 options:

1. recommend me a book
2. current event

[thick seal]

hmm

[full crane]

Also want to add that this was in person so thats how I saw his book

[thick seal]

the first one is interesting though

[meager mango]

yeah I like those tbh 😭

but unfair if ur not interested in them

[full crane]

No way I'm going to recommend "double bind: women on ambition"

[thick seal]

lmaoo

[full crane]

The dude was older than my grandpa

[thick seal]

recommend rebecca solnit lmao

or ralph waldo emerson

[full crane]

Haha too late now

[thick seal]

no in between

[full crane]

Next time!!!

[thick seal]

full feminism or full unoriginal

[full crane]

My other option was "moral capitalism"

Cuz those are the books I'm reading rn

[meager mango]

I mean next time I would go with those, they sound interesting

[full crane]

!!!!!!

[clever holly]

the bible

[full crane]

I talked about the middle east

But not about the situation but polarization

[meager mango]

Oh ok

I was ab to say..

[thick seal]

hmm

[full crane]

Yeah dw

[thick seal]

thats very textbook princeton ngl

[full crane]

I should've done book

Too late anyways

[meager mango]

My interviewer is an author so best believe I’d choose the book one

[thick seal]

sounds kind of right from that statement the columbia and princeton global affairs school heads wrote in the nyt

[full crane]

Maybe bc I read that article 😋😋😋😋😋

[thick seal]

LMAOOO

idk how smart the 70 year old princeton guy is

he definitely hasn’t read the article but it might read cop out to him lol

[full crane]

LMAOO he prob didn't

[thick seal]

like that bojack horseman episode LMAO

where he’s at the book signing

that’s a really subtle play if he doesn’t notice though lol

[full crane]

Realistixally id get rejected

Whatever

[orchid axle]

idt curry needs to go but klay

[full crane]

We shall see if it helped !

[orchid axle]

yeah basically gsw needs a refresh

[hollow jewel]

i meant wiggins

[orchid axle]

lol wiggins fs has to leave

[hollow jewel]

yee they need a new franchise for the next decade

curry is starting to slow down

[orchid axle]

maybe start by getting a taller center

a 7 footer

[hollow jewel]

gobert porzignis?

[orchid axle]

porzingis is already a great fit in celtics tho

[hollow jewel]

mayb an old 38 yr old al harford

[orchid axle]

uhm

[hollow jewel]

who rejuvenated celtics

[orchid axle]

this makes gsw a retirement center ngl

after chris paul

[hollow jewel]

yeah im spewing nonsense idk too much basketball i used to watch a lot now i forgot shit

[orchid axle]

now another 38 yr old

[hollow jewel]

yh makes sense

[orchid axle]

i think the team lacks height

[hollow jewel]

wemby has to leave tbh

[orchid axle]

and defense..

[hollow jewel]

spurs not gonna help him get shit

[orchid axle]

fs

[hollow jewel]

hes wasting his talents

[hollow jewel]

yeah this

[orchid axle]

i read somewhere he was made as pg

[hollow jewel]

thats insane

i wouldnt doubt it

[orchid axle]

sochan is a disturbance

i wonder if wemby goes to detroit can he help cade save the pistons

[hollow jewel]

mayb

cade was stopping thenm

okc and timberwolves r not serious seed contenders

[orchid axle]

cade was carrying the pistons on his back

[hollow jewel]

[manic jay]

[manic jay]

The celtics

[orchid axle]

the celtics huh

well they are a serious contender

[manic jay]

It rides on kristaps

If he stays healthy they will win

If he cant then its joever

[orchid axle]

i doubt kristaps can stay healthy pretty long

[manic jay]

True but ive suffered too much heartbreak over the last 3 years i feel like a 49ers fan

[orchid axle]

but who knows

[manic jay]

Dominant team but can never win the chip

[orchid axle]

chiefs ftw

[manic jay]

Fuck the chiefs

[orchid axle]

HAHAHA

[manic jay]

Now ik how it felt to be a non patriots fan back in the day

No wonder yall hated us lmfao

[livid moat]

Tied game!!!

[manic jay]

Wait i didnt watch what jappened

From 24-17 to 24-24 what happened

[livid moat]

Lions fumbled kinda

[manic jay]

Kinda?

[thick seal]

wait not kinda they just straight up fumbled immediately

[quiet echo]

It went from 24-7 to 24-24

Nah how’d they fumble a 17 points lead that hard

[oak dove]

Does anyone know where I should submit my LOCI? I want to submit it today but I idk where to submit it, the letter just said to "send it to our office by the end of January" does this mean I upload it through the portal or email my regional ao?

[hollow jewel]

Celtics

[livid moat]

Like it wasn’t a straight up fumble in the usual sense but he kind of tore it out of his hands

[manic jay]

so... a punch out or a strip?

[livid moat]

Honestly I can’t remember

I think strip??

[hushed pelican]

ohm ur major?

[full crane]

without me mentioning what im majoring in

[hushed pelican]

[tough eagle]

If my mid ass can get deferred you defo have a chance of getting in lol

[orchid axle]

i am sort of mediocre and i got in..

they'll want you

[tough eagle]

Stats and ecs please

Do you mind dming me about it?

[orchid axle]

sure

[tough eagle]

Thanks man appreciate it

[thick seal]

actually me too please?

[full crane]

these were my princeton questions: (the dude read from a script)

• what subjects do you like at school + why
• what major/academic interest are you applying for
• what do you hope to get out of your undergrad years
• what do you like to do for fun
• he gave me a choice from these: a) fav book, b) world issue and your thoughts
• what is the biggest challenge you faced
• what is smth i haven't asked you that your waiting to tell me about
• lets say you got into all your universities, how would you choose where to go

[meager mango]

I had to reschedule my pton interview TWICE 😭 hopefully it’s not a big deal

[surreal junco]

my interviewer's ghosting me

[undone cosmos]

Am I supposed to send a resume to my interviewer or are they not allowed to see anything that's related to my application?

[meager mango]

Ask; some say yes, some say no

My pton and yale interviewers said no, my harvard and Dartmouth ones strongly encouraged me to send one

[undone cosmos]

So I should ask the interviewer first right

[meager mango]

Yes

[livid moat]

Did you ask to send a resume?

Or did you bring it up

[meager mango]

I asked in my reply email

[livid moat]

Oh ok idk if I should ask or if that will make me seem too much

[meager mango]

I phrased it like
“Let me know if you need any additional information or material such as a resume”
Idk if that seems pushy but worth a shot 😭

[livid moat]

Oh wait that’s a good way to word it

Idk I’m concerned it’ll be a bit repetitive

If they wanted it they’d ask 😭 Penn and Harvard interviewers are old asf they have def done this many times

[meager mango]

fair, I wouldn’t worry about it anyway since aos already have ur “resume” lol

[livid moat]

This is true I feel like I’d have a more natural convo without it

[meager mango]

yeah I’m planning to hand it to them at the end so they can use it as a refresher. but tbh it’s unnecessary LOL

[livid moat]

That’s smart!!

[uneven bloom]

your interviewer will not know anything about you

I don't think a resume is necessary tho'

[glass sigil]

Should I address my princeton loci to the dean of admissions karen richardson?

or the specific dean who oversees my region

[amber sphinx]

anybody here in DFW get an interview with Jennifer?

[thick seal]

“dear princeton admissions office”

the whole office will see your application if you make it to last-round review

it doesn’t have to be personal

[glass sigil]

Alright

also

should i simply just upload it to the portal?

or should i also email it directly to the office

[oak dove]

I emailed mine to my regional ao and I got this email back:

so I assume that emialing to the main email is porb the way to go

[thick seal]

nope i got that email too emailing to the main office

it’s just automated

[oak dove]

oooohh

ok

[glass sigil]

is the correct email for the main office [email protected]?

[pale sonnet]

Can I also have your stats and EC I was deferred…

[thick seal]

yes

[remote mist]

should I email my interviewer again I asked them to do it the 31st but its been like a week and they havent responded 😭

idk if they're just busy though they're a law school professor

[meager mango]

it wont hurt!

[tough eagle]

Mentioning only raising $150 for charity in my LOCI is quite shit innit

[meager mango]

dw ab it, at least u did something

[zenith flame]

not at all

[obsidian cobalt]

W i said i raised $300+ sum for a local charity of mine as well

Small Money Talks.

[thorn fable]

is a 30 min interview bad

[manic jay]

No

[graceful spoke]

I got an interview!!!!!!

[quaint parcel]

Yooooo

[graceful spoke]

ikrrr

any tips?

[quaint parcel]

Be yourself and talk about yourself, don’t be stressed

Don’t be robotic

[graceful spoke]

oki

[tardy fiber]

Raising money for charity is great! NO matter the amount or reason

[tardy fiber]

Princeton interview was fire

[prime nexus]

greattt

[quaint parcel]

Ahhh getting angry notices from Princeton telling me to complete fin aid

👹👹

I’m a big ol clown bc I have 16 rds and several fin aid apps

due 2 days from now

[tardy fiber]

I'm just tired of it at all rn

School, apps, finaid, all of it

[marble egret]

for this question for princeton, do i say yes or no? bc im applying to scholarships but idk if i will get them

Will you receive any outside scholarships or tuition benefits?
Please include scholarships that are approved by the donor for this academic year. Admitted students will have opportunity to update scholarships at a later date.

[mellow wind]

"admitted students will have opportunity to update scholarships at a later date"

[marble egret]

so no?

[mellow wind]

yeah say no

[marble egret]

okay thanks

[tardy fiber]

yuh

they don't expect you to know whether or not you've won any scholarships at this point

they just want to know if you happe nto have won some

[summer spruce]

yeah i may or may not get some scholarships but idk yet so i just put no

but also it's annoying to me how outside scholarships are subtracted from your aid

like what's the point in applying for scholarships at all if the cost is gonna be the same for me

[fierce river]

so is midyear to princeton optional or something, cuz it shows up as an optional material?????

[zenith flame]

did you upload it or the counsellor?

i think that the applicant can only upload stuff that's optional, and the mid year report is required 'officially' ( via counsellor)

[fierce river]

the counselor

what do all of yalls say? do your midyears show up as optional materials too?

[zenith flame]

nope not for me

or wait

maybe yes

ok no that was my research

[tough eagle]

Yippee

[orchid axle]

[hard ember]

congrats on purdue

[tough eagle]

Thanks !

[glass sigil]

If I’m emailing the office my letter in addition to uploading the portal

Should I attach a pdf of the doc

Or paste the text on the email

[meager mango]

I’m an idiot fr I had to reschedule my interview three times

[woeful gate]

i have my interview in an hour how did your guys' interview go 😭

[quiet echo]

Oh yea, ez acceptance

[uneven bloom]

good luck!

[woeful gate]

ty 😭!

[amber sphinx]

My interviewer didn’t ask a single question

Just said “tell me about yourself”

And the rest was just a casual conversation

[woeful gate]

oh wow that' scool

[hardy tartan]

good!

def structured but still laid back

nothing super insane

[woeful gate]

just finished my guy was an interviewer pro he had 100+ kids interviewed HAHA it was super casual. just like yours tbh

[hushed pelican]

ig interview only important for internship

[peak laurel]

is the financial aid application giving anyone trouble with its obnoxious bar in the middle of the page?

[amber sphinx]

are princeton interviews evaluative

[orchid axle]

Sort of

Nah not really

[crude topaz]

ApplyingToCollege

[surreal junco]

bro its been two weeks since i responded and 1 week since I sent a followup and my interviewer's ghosting me

[undone sorrel]

Wow I finally getting an interview soon

[quiet echo]

English isnt bros first language, gl

[thick seal]

i had the most mid aime and the most mid interview ever

maybe this is a sign

[tough sparrow]

aime is so easy

[meager mango]

Ok bud

[tough sparrow]

it is

not even close to last year's

[boreal verge]

reach out to princeton

[boreal verge]

DUDE ME TOO IT JUST FINISHED!

[surreal junco]

which email do i contact? admissions?

[boreal verge]

ya

[thick seal]

what happened?

[boreal verge]

i think email: [email protected] WITH YOUR REFERENCE #

[thick seal]

damn i didn’t do that the first time lol

probably it was fine? I put my school down and they said they added it to my file

lmao hopefully they didn’t accidentally throw it in a person’s file with my exact name

[cunning vortex]

wish i could flex like that

[quiet echo]

real

[boreal verge]

oh mid princeton interview

[coral sail]

if i want to give an award update to princeton, should i do it thru the portal or by emailing my regional ao?

[zenith flame]

i used the portal

[late pollen]

yo this dude is trolling they haven't reached out yet in 3 days

[uneven bloom]

it says within the next few weeks, have patience

[late pollen]

im a troll ig

actually

mb i cannot read 💀

for some reason assumed general timeframe to be like 1-2 days

skull issue irl

[uneven bloom]

no no you're fine lol

[quaint parcel]

I guess it depends on the interviewer

Mine came like 20 mins I think after the email

[tall dome]

Mine came a little over a week later

[late pollen]

the real skull issue is taking 35 min to read 3 pages of this textbook

HELP

[thorn fable]

my interviewer has suggested me a book, should i ask chatgpt for a summary and say i really enjoyed it and explain chatgpt's summary

will that help me

[hearty moss]

deep level commitment and trick

[wet pilot]

If it helps, I read that to mean that the interview would be in "the next few weeks" and not the contact. It's really strangely worded

I didn't assume a time frame for the alumni to contact me though, and it took a few days

[keen rose]

I literally just got that notification and my interviewer emailed within 10 minutes

The interview process is way too unstructured

[wet pilot]

I had my RD application in before the EA app was due and they got confused I think because I had my RD interview during when all the EA people were getting theirs. The interviewer didn't even realize that I was RD until I told him

[late pollen]

bro is on the speedrun

[quaint parcel]

this is me w/math

my brain is still loading

[formal hollow]

yo yo yo

[undone sorrel]

Is it ok if I submit Princeton fin aid doc a day or 2 late

[prime nexus]

i think it’s ok, most colleges say they’re pretty lenient with the financial aid deadline

as long as it’s turned in before decisions you should still get it with your acceptance letter

[orchid axle]

i submitted it after i got the decisions

it's fine

[undone sorrel]

Thanks👍

Yesterday I realized I forgot the doc at like 11:30💀 had to finish it mad quick

And my css late too😭😭

[quiet echo]

@undone sorrel

[quiet echo]

It’s chill I think I did my css wrong Ngl

[thick seal]

mine took four days you’ll be fine

[thick seal]

nah but that’s like the real math student experience you’re supposed to do that

if you read three pages of the textbook in less than 15 minutes it’s either not a good textbook or you already know the material

but like i give up after five so don’t listen to me lmao

[late pollen]

bad as fuck when i have to cram tho

😭

[thick seal]

damn i’m sorry

3blue1brown/chatgpt?

not even a joke it explains concepts so well

[late pollen]

where the hell my Proof by Truth

fuck actually proving things

it's just right

🗿

[pseudo flame]

"While the deadline is February 1st, you may wish to complete it sooner."
i found this on missing finaid email, is this informal acceptance letter bcoz the stars aligned for me?

[orchid axle]

Uhm

Copium

[prime nexus]

me every second of every day

[tough eagle]

Wait you can do that?

[orchid axle]

Yeah

But you get the aid a month late

[tough eagle]

Oh damn

[uneven bloom]

Isn’t that misleading since you were EA

[orchid axle]

Hm

It can be

For RD the one month wait can be stressful

But if you can finish the fin aid docs before the deadline it’ll be better

[orchid axle]

I did this bcs of financial constraints ( translating tax papers are expensive AF)

[charred elbow]

i loved my princston interviewer

[maiden creek]

Does anyone know a website that shows princetons student population by country and like how many got in from a certain intl country over years (data sheet)?

[crisp vault]

In case you get it sometime...pls put it here

[maiden creek]

Couldn’t find it ahaha

[thick seal]

hey can anyone indulge my anxiety and read over my thank-you email lmao

[uneven bloom]

sure

[thick seal]

ok to dm?

@uneven bloom

[uneven bloom]

yeah that's fine

[quiet echo]

No it’s not okay

[solemn kiln]

bro

is it normal that the assistant of the guy who's my interviewer is sending me an interview request

i ain't really sure if this is an assitant

but seems like it

both of them seem like such big shots ngl 💀

their credentials are mad impressive

[dusty meteor]

Yeah

I had a lawyer interviewer, and his secretary sent me the zoom email

[prime nexus]

half of my interviewers have been lawyers lmaoo

and it makes since bc that’s what i’m going for 😭

[meager mango]

I wish

I’ve gotten an author, doctor, computer programmer, poet, and chem engineer 😭

[prime nexus]

lmaoo one of mine was like a business asset manager idk like

i didn’t ask anything about the profession bc 😭😭i didn’t really know what to ask

[livid moat]

Same

[livid moat]

I’m not 😭

[prime nexus]

stem?

[livid moat]

Med/vet

[prime nexus]

period

[prime nexus]

wait actually this person was my princeton one

[hollow stump]

all mine are finance bros

i am not a finance bro

[prime nexus]

😭😭

[prime nexus]

in both ways huh?

double homocide

[hollow stump]

i mean ive gotten along with all my interviewers

its just funny circumstance

[thick seal]

damn

tragic

[pliant moat]

same here

[thick seal]

statistically

the # of graduates in your field is gonna be tiny compared to the number of finance bro alumni

for basically every major

i guess it’s inevitable

[pliant moat]

true

but they were super nice tho😂

(my interviewers)

[hollow jewel]

...

[strong locust]

Yo is it normal for the admission office to contact you that you will get a call for an interview froms omeone

because usually the interviewer just contacts me; i've never had the admissions office email me about it

[hearty moss]

which uni?

[strong locust]

princeton

[hearty moss]

weird....didnt see AOs contact you. but if it's a generic email then it wont matter much

[pliant moat]

does it say sth like "Please expect an email or telephone call from..."

[meager mango]

Yes that’s how they send it to all applicants

[lone ember]

Finally got my Princeton interview request🙏

[uneven bloom]

Yeah almost everyone gets that

[strong locust]

oh alright ty

[strong locust]

yeah

[tame flame]

Does anyone know the Princeton interview questions?

I have mine in about an hour

[charred elbow]

she asked me what interests me about princeton, and then asked me about my answer there since i talked about research and the first year writing seminar, she asked me about my other activities and what i plan to major in so talk about a princeton major (i said public policy) and then she asked me abt activities i wanna do at princeton sl talk about clubs and stuff, and then she asked me abt hobbies i want during princeton

[tame flame]
