Princeton University (2025-2026)

[idle jetty]

i mena idk

im just talking abt inforemd delivery

i had it b4 to track packages

like from websites i bought stuff from

[alpine oxide]

i am too i meant informed delivery

i assume they send them in the mail today so it wouldnt show up on informed delivery until it gets scanned

[hybrid hazel]

Right

[idle jetty]

i think ppl are confused

lets not talk abt apps for a minute

and just talk abt usps (no portal astro)

USPS informed delivery doesnt mean the package comes and u will find out

its a program that usps offers that allows you to find out if a package is coming once scanned

obv it may not always work who knows

[hybrid hazel]

Oh

[idle jetty]

im not even talking abt anything else rn

its useful if say u find a package and u didnt expect it

or u just want to track it and it gets lost

or there is a delay

just in general life stuff

[eager matrix]

yeah this is more likely the case because mail in america is fucked and underfunded to the point i wouldn’t count on nothing

i think i read online the usps is supposed to run out of money soon 💀

[idle jetty]

yes

i agree

[hybrid hazel]

Real

[hybrid hazel]

YESS

[idle jetty]

USPS is a gov program

thats why

[hybrid hazel]

THERE TRYING TO GET RID OF IT IN 2027

Which is really bad

[idle jetty]

it is poorly run imo

[hybrid hazel]

IT goes tk places amazon doesnt

[idle jetty]

if u go to any usps its a p big hassle

[hybrid hazel]

Like for the elderly

[idle jetty]

wdym

[hybrid hazel]

Amazon doesn't go everywhere

To deliver

Like they ddint even come tk my neighborhood till my dad complained

[alpine oxide]

usps pretty much has to deliver to every mailbox in america

[hybrid hazel]

And we lived in our area for 5 yrs

[alpine oxide]

private companies might not deliver somewhere if it's not profitable

[hybrid hazel]

THIS

[idle jetty]

makes sense

[woven flame]

A bunch of companies are using this other postal service that I forget the name of but they pay super poorly and steal packages

[idle jetty]

do uk the names?

ik sm of them cuz i bought some items off a website the other day

[alpine oxide]

new business idea: create a fake postal service and steal packages

[idle jetty]

it didnt come from usps ups or fedex

it was some weird name

[alpine oxide]

it's the same situation as amtrak bc the us government kinda screwed it over

it's a "government owned corporation"

so they basically get no tax dollars

[woven flame]

Ontrac

That’s the main one I hear abt

[idle jetty]

yea ik that too

thats where i got a package from

[woven flame]

DHL is a company I only heard of in the last year or so but they seem fine

Ontrac not as great

[alpine oxide]

dhl is pretty reputable

they're big in europe

[prisma cloak]

when does princeton drop?

[eager matrix]

4 hrs from now

[prisma cloak]

thanks

[unborn valve]

good luck all

[solid dawn]

soon

🥀

[split summit]

what about ucb 🥺

[woven flame]

It’s gonna come out first

[split summit]

oh damn

[woven flame]

Sending again bc forwarded messages don’t include new edits

[idle jetty]

is anyone applying from NJ

i heard they had the best odds of getting in

[idle jetty]

slightly better than everywhere else

for princeton

[split summit]

so where did you hear that information

[nova lava]

i wouldve expected the opposite

if anything

[vagrant marlin]

this is probably more correlational than causal

[olive oasis]

It’s not Rutgers 😭😭

[nova lava]

also this

[split summit]

like

just go to the cds

[nova lava]

if you live in the jers youre applying to the princ

[vagrant marlin]

it's a private uni so it doesn't favor in-state either

[snow nacelle]

exactly

higher rates thanks to more influx of applicants

[split summit]

i need to be the ONLY virginian applying

[idle jetty]

princeton is a bit more biased

[split summit]

https://klipy.com/gifs/young-sheldon-cat

[nova lava]

so when we say princeton is biased to nj we mean princeton is biased to nj ny and ct edit: and also pa right

am i right guyds

guys.

[vagrant marlin]

the tristate correction 😭😭

[snow nacelle]

AND PA WTF HOLDON

[nova lava]

i forgot it only included some parts of ny

[nova lava]

sighs ok fine

[idle jetty]

theyre prob more biased

to ppl in NJ

esp cuz they know the top schools

i think NJ has a lot of applicaitons tho

[snow nacelle]

I mean there’s a small chance

[idle jetty]

but every top ivy accepts the most from their respective state

[snow nacelle]

it woukdn’t be like penn with philly kids tho

[idle jetty]

wdym

[olive oasis]

applying from nyc 💀

[snow nacelle]

philly kids get some prefernyial treatment mostly cuz theres like

a specific tag for them

and the city has specific requirements

for the land deal

[idle jetty]

for upenn?

[snow nacelle]

ya

[idle jetty]

its prob same as cornell land grants

[snow nacelle]

there’s a PHI land tag

or not land tag

but yeah princeton the town is

much more reliant on the university

so i doubt quotas like that r there

[split summit]

84% of their first year class last year was out of state.. not including international

[idle jetty]

they admitted

[idle jetty]

its 13% of the kids attending are from NJ

[split summit]

yes who enrolled

[idle jetty]

from domestic it was 16%

its still a p big number

you're right but i have heard princeton has good relations with many top hs's

[split summit]

what are u saying

[idle jetty]

that usually sent a couple every year

[idle jetty]

just looking at all domestic admits who decide to attend

16% were from new jersey

its on reddit too

[snow nacelle]

id be more than willing to admit that the NJ residents also make up a disproportinate amount of rejections too..

[alpine oxide]

they make up a large population but its bc everybody here applies there

[snow nacelle]

point being, location will not be the reason youre rejected lol

[idle jetty]

yea but one of my friends is from NJ from discord he said he has 50 ppl in his grade applying but only like 10 have a chance

so 20% of the ppl applying rlly have a chance

from his hs

[snow nacelle]

well Yeah the school is close by

[alpine oxide]

the best hs in the state only had one rea admit this year

[bleak kite]

NJ and CA have the highest accept rates

[idle jetty]

what was it

[alpine oxide]

high tech hs

[olive oasis]

😭😭

[idle jetty]

what if ppl gatekept

are you from nj?

[olive oasis]

5 accepted

[snow nacelle]

also yeah, feeder schools can get more scrutiny

[hybrid hazel]

....

[olive oasis]

😭

[hybrid hazel]

The ratio

[alpine oxide]

yes

[hybrid hazel]

Ooh honey

[idle jetty]

what hs

[alpine oxide]

bro im not doxxing myself 😭

[split summit]

do you think he is going to tell you that

[idle jetty]

oh mb

😭

did u apply princeton

[alpine oxide]

i go to school in central jersey

[eager matrix]

that’s insane because isn’t nj like

[alpine oxide]

yes rea i was deferred

[eager matrix]

usually a feeder state

[idle jetty]

did any1 from ur hs get in

[eager matrix]

alongside california and texas and new york type states

[alpine oxide]

not from rea

[idle jetty]

how many ppl got deferred this year like what %

[alpine oxide]

i was the only deferral everyone else got rejected from my hs

[idle jetty]

do u think theyll accept moredefr ppl

[split summit]

i want to say mass is the top feeder state

[idle jetty]

stats?

i mean good luck regardless @alpine oxide

[snow nacelle]

34% from this server, but we haven’t had a real proper statistic for the deferral rate in years

[alpine oxide]

1530 sat 5.35 gpa (which equates to mostly a's/a+'s and 2 a-'s)

[idle jetty]

this server is more skewed i would say

[idle jetty]

5.35 gpa is like what

like class rank rise i mean

or unweighted

[alpine oxide]

im top 5

[bleak kite]

i thought princeton deferred most applicants

[idle jetty]

yea 15 years ago

[snow nacelle]

i would argue the people voting are probably higher skewed material

[snow nacelle]

that’s like a 12-15 year old statistic

[idle jetty]

i think the defer is between 20-30%

[snow nacelle]

google search results are misleading

[idle jetty]

im p sure its a 20% acceptance rate if u got deferred

15-20%

but the ppl getting deferred are all cracked

[snow nacelle]

I got deferred so I hope it’s 20 lol

[idle jetty]

i mean look at ur own hs

[alpine oxide]

the only hs here that probably has a significantly better chance is princeton hs because theyre all children of faculty

[bleak kite]

good luck

[snow nacelle]

I’m not toooo cracked though..

[idle jetty]

yea thats just a diff game

[alpine oxide]

there's an entire admissions officer dedicated to princeton hs

[idle jetty]

acc?

[snow nacelle]

ultimately most in my school didn’t even really apply, i think my school massively favors upenn

[idle jetty]

its the dean of admissions

[alpine oxide]

officer i mean***

[snow nacelle]

1510 4.34 weighted though so im not a chump either

[idle jetty]

they have specific admissions officers

per county in NJ

thats crazy

[alpine oxide]

yea

[ivory lantern]

https://tenor.com/view/asian-peter-peter-griffin-gif-7961514309382317864

[idle jetty]

more than the other states

[alpine oxide]

but thats just bc so many ppl from here apply

the larger/more populous states also have officers for their regions

[idle jetty]

yes they do

[lapis girder]

I mean are there really feeder states

[hybrid hazel]

Pton let me be the 1st from my title 1 school to get accepted

Please

[idle jetty]

but princeton has like 8 AO's for NJ

[lapis girder]

As opposed to feeder schools

[olive oasis]

Omg

[idle jetty]

8 ao's for NJ is crazy

california has 5

[hybrid hazel]

The ratio

[olive oasis]

WHY

[idle jetty]

yea

its on their websit

[split summit]

u and i gonna be 2 of those 13🤔

[idle jetty]

8 AO's for just NJ

[ivory lantern]

https://tenor.com/view/deer-interview-doe-winter-deer-interview-gif-16806606910500140994

[idle jetty]

they take 200 kids from NJ

[olive oasis]

yes we will be accepted

[idle jetty]

150ish from california

but 5 ao's

also these are teh regional ao's

[ivory lantern]

im pretty sure they admit less than 1.5k in rd

what do you mean 200 from nj

😭

[idle jetty]

200 kids total from NJ

they admit like 1100-1200 RD

[split summit]

he hasn’t said the brightest things today

[alpine oxide]

nj applicants actually have a tiny bit of a lower acceptance rate than out of state

like a minuscule difference tho

[idle jetty]

yea but they have more ao's better connections

and focus more

[snow nacelle]

having more ao’s doesn’t mean better connections

Again i don’t think it’s really worth looking in to

[alpine oxide]

bro we dont interact with our admissions officers 😭

we're not buddy buddy

[idle jetty]

maybe but

[split summit]

brother just go sit down😭

[alpine oxide]

it's genuinely just bc new jersey makes up 10%-12% of the applications as just one state

[split summit]

do you know if there is a place I can find other state’s %

[alpine oxide]

nah the cds only shows instate vs out of state

[split summit]

oh well i found 2029’s number of students enrolled

princeton is 192

I mean

new jersey

🤦‍♂️

[alpine oxide]

oh yeah i forgot they show enrolled

its probably pretty similar to admitted they have a high yield

[split summit]

3.7% from virginia they want me soooo bad 👍

[ivory lantern]

what about uh

sending that link

😄

curious to see the data

[split summit]

https://admission.princeton.edu/apply/admission-statistics

[ivory lantern]

fuck bro 😭

oh that's enrollment

[olive oasis]

why is the website weird on mobile

[olive oasis]

how many from New York

[split summit]

197

197/1408

[ivory lantern]

isnt that the number of people who accepted the offer of admission though

[split summit]

add like 4-8 more to that number and that’s probably admitted

yes

[ivory lantern]

i see

[split summit]

but they have rlly high yield

[ivory lantern]

highest out of all of them i think

[split summit]

yes

idk why i said yes i have no idea

but it would make sense

[idle jetty]

like of any state

NJ is prob best

if you're applying from

aside from the rural areas

[tender lava]

I GOT IN

[gilded umbra]

How do you know

[tender lava]

I just don’t

[gilded umbra]

You got in

Dw

[tender lava]

Fr I got in

[merry inlet]

waitlistsed

[split summit]

stop 😭😭😭😭

my heart

can’t take this

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTkLjSaUG/

do this with princeton 👍

[eager matrix]

holy fuck. why do so many nj apply?

are u guys encouraged?

or do so many ppl because its just purely in state

like how duke is with nc/sc residents

[snow nacelle]

1 hour :-]

[alpine oxide]

just bc its instate

seems more attainable

• a lot of ppl visit campus and the surrounding town bc its so accessible

[rancid condor]

Thought that too but helllla ppl from nj here maybe they js over represent cs or the kinds of ppl i tend to meet or i js notice them more but there were way more nj’ites than id expect

Well gl to y’all ❤️

[idle jetty]

gl

looks like whoever was saying that usps thing

was of no point

[split summit]

who do we think is getting in

[idle jetty]

sm1 cracked

[vocal pumice]

usps ? What's that ?

[idle jetty]

nth

[split summit]

[snow nacelle]

[idle jetty]

same for every other t10 school

[full perch]

new jerseyy

[snow nacelle]

well, hey, no harm in hoping!!

[split summit]

[ivory hill]

I had a very good interview

[split summit]

who’s getting in

[ivory hill]

I have my hopes

[split summit]

i am just throwing out numbers

[idle jetty]

if anyone here is from NJ/NY/tri state area and you got deferred i think u have a strong chance

[split summit]

im sports betting on u all

[snow nacelle]

I had a good interview and I was really proud of my loci!!’ I really hope for the best!!

[split summit]

https://tenor.com/view/danganronpa-kyoko-kirigiri-after-school-lesson-gif-6483675630744807798

[mint sky]

Bruh don't bet on me💀 literally got rejected from my targets

[idle jetty]

will be a shi show regardless

[split summit]

but the joke lowkey not that humorous.

[snow nacelle]

Side note, but you’ll know when you log in @ 7— rejected portals have no materials on them, I watched a bunch of videos today to check

[plucky ore]

What qualities does Princeton look for in applicants btw? I researched it while applying but forgot

[idle jetty]

doesnt matter

why ask these questions

[split summit]

do you not have a columbia likely😭😭😭😭😭

[teal dagger]

my man it is too late to be worrying about that

[split summit]

are u deadass

[teal dagger]

good luck to all applicants!

[snow nacelle]

I’m deadass, watch reaction vids

[mint sky]

Yeah😭 and I got rejected from uiuc and Purdue idkk what Columbia saw in me

[snow nacelle]

Rejected students get a portal with nothing to click on but the update

[merry inlet]

is ts portal astro

[split summit]

you’re gonna be FINE😭😭😭

[snow nacelle]

I’m not sure about WL

[nova lava]

portal astro when decisions are literally out is so funny but the thing is that i also 100% believe this

[teal dagger]

materials don’t pop up until after you open the letter, at least for me

[snow nacelle]

It’s genuinely not lol it’s when it comes out

[nova lava]

this is reasonable and verified

[split summit]

do u have a pic from accepted students?

[upbeat pilot]

good luck!

[olive oasis]

huh 😭

[snow nacelle]

I watched video

[split summit]

if you would not mind

[snow nacelle]

I can find one yeah

[split summit]

this isn’t portal astro he just said he’s watching yt videos 😭😭

[idle jetty]

how do uk

[nova lava]

i cant remember but i think at least one WL school had the wl form button before i clicked accepted

[split summit]

don’t play

[olive oasis]

preparing for my rejection 🥰

[snow nacelle]

This guy gets accepted a moment later in the vid

[nova lava]

wait is it portal astro if its. true

[idle jetty]

send the specific part ur referring to

[snow nacelle]

its. kt even astro because its literally out when the letter is out

[nova lava]

like we know 100% this is how it works

[split summit]

my only thing is this is 2019

[idle jetty]

@nova lava did u get it

[nova lava]

this falls under technicalities so precise that

[teal dagger]

guys the materials don’t populate until after you open the letter, regardless of rejected or accepted

[nova lava]

where was i going weith that sentence

[snow nacelle]

it dont even matter tbh Ur gonna hit the view letter literally right after

[nova lava]

idek

[nova lava]

theyre not out yet

[idle jetty]

we'll find out today

[split summit]

yeah u right im just bored

[olive oasis]

no portal astro

[nova lava]

guys what if i get a likely in the next 20 min

[idle jetty]

the materials lol

[olive oasis]

well

[nova lava]

decisions are out! youre in for a real treat!

[olive oasis]

36 more minutes left

i'm over it already

[nova lava]

ohhh no it does that alongside decisions when they drop

[plucky ore]

curious to know why he left in the second one

[idle jetty]

bruh so it wont matter lmao

[nova lava]

he actually got rejected and was caught

[nova lava]

yeah

but it kind of is a spoiler b4 you click it

[idle jetty]

wdym rejected

and caught

lore?

[nova lava]

no

i lied

[snow nacelle]

LOL

[idle jetty]

oh ok

[nova lava]

i headcannoned him

[idle jetty]

do you have to be next gen to get into princeton

[nova lava]

next gen

[snow nacelle]

next gen?

[idle jetty]

can u send the screenshot of what it looks like

[snow nacelle]

as in legacy? or do you mean firstgen

[nova lava]

what does that mean

[ivory hill]

No, he's leaving cuz he felt like he burnt out, so he's taking a gap year

I watched his video

[nova lava]

oh i get it

[idle jetty]

oh ok

[nova lava]

its when you dont go to college but ur kids will

so princeton accepts you

cuz you wont go.anyways

[snow nacelle]

😭

[normal cosmos]

hey reminder that this is portal Astro

[tender lava]

its not portal astro

I've compiled 30-40 videos on it

its legitimate

and its only when ur status update shows up

[normal cosmos]

that’s still portal astro

[tender lava]

so its not a true astro

[tender lava]

yeah but its when u get ur decision its just to mentally prepare

[merry inlet]

dont think that applies when you can just click the button to find out

[hybrid hazel]

Does pton do confetti?

[idle jetty]

the tiger shows up

[tender lava]

tiger

[merry inlet]

yea cool tiger

[normal cosmos]

let’s just chill for the next 27 minutes

[feral blade]

😭 😭 doing allat for astro?

oh

nvm

[tender lava]

its not astro

lol

[feral blade]

sorry didnt see the top

[tender lava]

i just watch decisions reactions and notice a pattern

lmao ur good

[ivory hill]

In Princeton there's a tiger on the 4th floor of Forbes hall, who eats students who failed their exams.

Pls spread the word

[feral blade]

what is the pattern

[tender lava]

i cant say it or theyll say its astro

i can dm it to u ig

[feral blade]

eh its fine

[tender lava]

[feral blade]

[tender lava]

rejected from Yale, Harvard, Penn, and Princeton with 1540 sat, 4.0 UW, isef finalist, won 1st at a national conference poster presention in undergraduate category, international-level service award for my health-related service, won texas science & engineering fair, and published in a neuroscience journal

I guess this really shows how difficult college admissions is.

[knotty dust]

hows it going? any accwptances

[split gazelle]

IM HOLDING MY BREATH FOR VARENYK

[knotty dust]

[plucky ore]

Rejected

It’s fine

[radiant lintel]

They’re missing out on an amazing asset

[tropic abyss]

https://calendar.applyingto.college/wheel

[upbeat pilot]

congrats!!!

[dreamy quarry]

hell yeah i used it lol

[solid dawn]

let’s go

[merry turret]

nonono there’s a million other thingys that go into every decision, I’m sure you’ll succeed anywhere!!

[solid dawn]

welcome to pton🙏🙏🙏🙏

[snow nacelle]

I think unironically it is just

i'm just gonig to drop everything

i'm done man

[teal dagger]

i hate when people say pton i can’t lie

[gilded umbra]

oh my god i cant believe this

[jolly zinc]

its easy to think that college decisions are the culmination of everything that you've done in high school

but they're not

[faint hornet]

i went 0/7

[gilded umbra]

This is cheaper than my state school and the only school i wanted to go to 😭😭

[unborn valve]

congrats guys

[teal dagger]

so you’re committing…? 👀

[gilded umbra]

OF COURSE

[snow nacelle]

Right now i just feel like an idiot

[jolly zinc]

the "p" doesnt stand for "prince"

[teal dagger]

awesome, what major?

[gilded umbra]

gor rejected waitlisted at all my other reaches

not sure yet

[winter hinge]

Rejected lol

[snow nacelle]

I didn't do any. traditional shit i put a bunch of stuff in terms of my music production work and got rejected / wl'd everywhere except lafeyette

This genuinely does just feel like the culmination of everything

[teal dagger]

do you know if you’ll do bse or ab? or open to both rn?

[snow nacelle]

all of my friends got into t30's too

[oak crown]

maybe ur essays hope u at least got 1 t20

[jolly zinc]

the admissions officers are a group of 10 randoms who want you to fail

[solid dawn]

☠️☠️☠️

[jolly zinc]

theres a lot more to life than just college

[solid dawn]

it’s a long word

[oak crown]

yea the admissions officers prolly wouldnt get in

[plucky ore]

Alright time to pray for 6 hours for Stanford

Come on Stanford

[snow nacelle]

i just know myself, im never going to let this go

[gilded umbra]

both tbh im super unsure

[jolly zinc]

back in december 2024 i was really upset at getting rejected REA with double legacy 💀

[snow nacelle]

all of the signs and yet nothing

[jolly zinc]

but theres nothing you can do 🤷

[tender lava]

idk I really made sure my essays had substance. I got waitlisted from rice, vandy, jhu, and washU in general I've just been getting fucked this cycle.

[jolly zinc]

ultimately i grinded and i still got my faang dream job

even at texas a&m

[tender lava]

if I dont get stanny tmrw i guess im going to UT Austin

unless i get this bs/md program

[plucky ore]

Yeah same

[tender lava]

austin?

[plucky ore]

If no Stanford
I don’t mind going UT CS

[tender lava]

ayyy W

yeah idrc

im premed

[solid dawn]

yall it’s ok

it’s just tough

[tender lava]

yeah lmfao

[solid dawn]

they’re accepting 1/25 kids

[tender lava]

its just sad cuz i worked rlyu hard on ts

[torn ledge]

rip rejected

[tender lava]

we all did

[jolly zinc]

wait until you get to jobs and the top employers accept 0.3% of applications

[split summit]

@long pivot 🤔

[solid dawn]

yes LOL

[tender lava]

the bs/md prrogram i'm interviewing for tmrw has a 0.3% acceptance rate

[solid dawn]

my first college internship was 0.4%

☠️

[jolly zinc]

mine is 0.3% (1.2% with referral) lol

[solid dawn]

it does get worse unfortunately

[long pivot]

👍

[split summit]

GGS🙏

[vernal vale]

I got in 🐅

[teal dagger]

rahhhhhhh

[snow nacelle]

https://giphy.com/gifs/jjk-jujutsu-kaisen-higuruma-panel-CiZ9e5IUPqeVFzc8Mp

all of the mental anguish for nothing man

actually worthless life experience

[solid dawn]

yayyyy

congrats

🐅🐅🐅

[jolly zinc]

i mean ideally you shouldn't be doing anything to impress the admissions officers

[solid dawn]

feel free to dm if u need to be convinced to commit to pton

[jolly zinc]

like do what you like

and just be yourself

[snow nacelle]

I didn't

I was myself

and now I just feel like myself is not enough

[pliant willow]

ayyy

[jolly zinc]

ok imagine the alternate reality you got admitted
how different is your life at princeton

[willow bay]

if only u were Higuruma getting to ivy would be a breeze

[pliant willow]

yall how brutal was RD for the big P

[snow nacelle]

I would feel good about myself at least

my self esteem is gone

my entire friendgroup has basically outpreformed me and they were all convinced i was gonna get in somewhere

i feel like a joke

[jolly zinc]

i dont think that they think less of you for which school you go to

[stable depot]

i got waitlisted hmmm is it hard to get off

[jolly zinc]

you shouldn't make which school you go to a key part of your identity anyway

[merry turret]

3/46

[split summit]

yes

out of 1080 i believe they accepted 36 (?

[vernal vale]

I think its pretty bad unfortunately..

[willow bay]

that saying imagine the alternate reality I got 1 million dollar how different my life would turn out

[snow nacelle]

ive just been built up by everybody in my life be it my family or friends and now i have to look all of them in the eyes and pretend like i have a shred of dignity left

[pliant willow]

lmao

all of HYP so far has been just as brutal as MIT

[solid dawn]

it’s by chance i’d say

since everyone they’re waitlisting is like probably at similar levels of being compelling but not quite there

but you can write a strong loci and pray

[jolly zinc]

try confidently announcing which school you'll be enrolling at

like nobody is going to belittle you for going to some "lower-rank" institution

[snow nacelle]

i just feel like

everyone was hype for me

and now im gonna be looked at with pity

[solid dawn]

yeah they’re similar

[vernal vale]

Yeah I see

[jolly zinc]

probably in like 1-2 weeks from now nobody will be talking about this anymore

[snow nacelle]

it just feels shameful everyone else is going out living their dream and im gonna have to settle

[stable depot]

erhh i think its fine im pre-law the grade deflation is prob not going to work for me

[jolly zinc]

what is said "dream"

[snow nacelle]

just going to these insane colleges and getting to live the kind of lifestyle they provide and be in the kind of communities they cultivate

like I wanted to be in philly so bad for upenn and now that's just

not gonna happen

[jolly zinc]

there are other schools in philadelphia as well

you can build the kind of lifestyle you desire by yourself

you dont need a school to do that for you

[snow nacelle]

there are but i didn't apply to them. drexel was unaffordable for me

[jolly zinc]

what specifically is appealing about philadelphia

[lofty tundra]

first ever philly enjoyer

[snow nacelle]

i grew up around there and have a big enotional connection to their sports & musical culture

[half quarry]

All ivies rejected me fr. It’s ok tho. We ball.

[solid dawn]

def not the right mentality - i’m prelaw and i’m glad im here

[snow nacelle]

but whatever its all over now so im just gonna kick rocks since im sure theres plenty that got in and deserved it

[solid dawn]

law schools account for undergrad rigor

[jolly zinc]

if you want to go to philadelphia that much, theres plenty of time in the rest of your life to enjoy philadelphia

like working a full-time job there

[solid dawn]

like our median harvard law admit is 3.85

so like definitely they adjust

[jolly zinc]

vs. the 4 years you'll be in college

[snow nacelle]

idk. people say college decisions don’t define you but i could never understand that

[stable depot]

yea but ik someone at yale law they said the system is still skewed to benefit grade inflated schools cuz they need to report the gpa average to US news for rankings and stuff but idk

[lapis girder]

REJECTED

[solid dawn]

i think they’re wrong

also the other benefits you’ll be afforded as a pton student are irreplaceable imo

but yes do what you feel is right for you i suppose

[stable depot]

like what for example i lowk don't know much abt princeton

[solid dawn]

internships, prof relationships, actual academic knowledge

[hardy nacelle]

Nooo didn’t know this existed

[solid dawn]

we’re just all around best for undergrads

[plucky ore]

Try for grad school there

The top unis are good for UG obv but Grad is where they truly shine

[solid dawn]

they help place you into federal gov internships whenever you want

etc

[snow nacelle]

its just idk man this feels like the universe telling me im not worth it

[solid dawn]

it’s just a pipeline for doing well

[jolly zinc]

try again next year! /j (/unjoke if transfer)

[snow nacelle]

would feel less bad if i hadnt literally been on a single acceptance so far and it was like a lower target school

[solid dawn]

i mean kids here are getting harv and yale law all the time

[stable depot]

do you know anything abt international law / is princeton UG strong in that area? That's one of the reasons columbia was my top choice

[jolly zinc]

i promise you the initial rush of getting into somewhere selective & desirable fades after 1-2 weeks

and then its just normality

[solid dawn]

yah spia has an international affairs track

[hardy nacelle]

[solid dawn]

and spia is like world renowned for its IR related fellowships and programs

[hardy nacelle]

This is my one and only shot

Fortunately and unfortunately

[stable depot]

hmm yea true

columbia also has SIPA that's hard

cuz SIPA is a grad school but they're releasing an undergrad major in 2027

[solid dawn]

do what you want

there’s a reason pton is #1 and columbia is like #5000000

jk lol

[oak delta]

does anyone know princetons waitlist acceptance rate?

[solid dawn]

but seriously

[stable depot]

like 4% i heard

[solid dawn]

pton is worth writing a singe page of loci for

[stable depot]

yea true

[stable depot]

what if im getting like a B do you think that would cook my chances

[solid dawn]

you don’t have to be super into it even

just write as if you’re interested and see how it goes

[lofty tundra]

no

[solid dawn]

“i would absolutely love to attend if admitted!” ☠️

easy

[solid dawn]

no it’s fine

also i’d guess the decision would likely come april or may before that grade is finalized and gets sent

[glossy grotto]

three bazillion ivy rejections

[eager matrix]

IM CRYING

[glossy grotto]

let's check the poll

[eager matrix]

4K A YEAR COA

[stable depot]

oh yea trueee

[eager matrix]

😭

[solid dawn]

omg did you get in

yay!

[solid dawn]

yes lol

[glossy grotto]

twin you ate their slots 😭

[solid dawn]

that’s the pton finaid office

for you

🥳🐅🐅🐅🐅

[oak delta]

darn

[solid dawn]

they give you $300 to spend on food around town too

so make that $3700

[potent thorn]

waitlisted 🥹

[split summit]

abba love u but i amm sooooo jealous of u rn i Cannot lie😭😭

[gilded umbra]

[azure jasper]

I getted onto Princeton

[solid dawn]

lol no😭😭😭

[azure jasper]

Is it good?

[gilded umbra]

[errant stirrup]

I GOT IN

[gilded umbra]

[solid dawn]

[gilded umbra]

i wanna do a phd maybe

[solid dawn]

you can do econ and take it seriously and do hard classes

[azure jasper]

I am already with commit in Virginia technology though

[solid dawn]

you just won’t be like dying or anything

[torpid pilot]

I let my diva interviewer down

Waitlist pton!!!

[solid dawn]

☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️

[torpid pilot]

It’s okay yale brown cornell mog trust

[solid dawn]

ok good

[plucky ore]

I heard Princeton’s Math classes give like 12 hour long homework assignments in a week, is that true?

[solid dawn]

just go to yale

[torpid pilot]

I’m gonna have to email her the news tho 😭

[solid dawn]

whatever

[alpine oxide]

guys we're all going on a revenge arc and getting into princeton grad school

in 4 years from now

mark my words

[torpid pilot]

def will… yall don’t even allow double majors 🙄

[solid dawn]

i stud philosophy and i’ve only done like one math class which was calc 3

but yes the higher level psets are intense of course

[nova lava]

princeton dont want meeeeeeeee

[solid dawn]

12 hours is a stretch

[nova lava]

waaahhhhhhh

[solid dawn]

if you’re incompetent maybe

[solid dawn]

cause we care about a proper classical education duh

[torpid pilot]

Yeahhh yeahhh ill see if I wanna opt in for wl

But most likely gonna opt out fr

hope the other wls get in 🥹🤞

[solid dawn]

can’t hurt to opt in

and just commit to yale

[viscid cloud]

Princeton doesn’t do loci for waitlist right

[feral oyster]

is there a group chat for class of 30

[errant stirrup]

Cannot believe I just got in

what the heck

[bright comet]

lets goo

[solid dawn]

🥳🐅

[hollow matrix]

You’re the goat for that

[errant stirrup]

If anyone is in Princeton for Engineering rn and wants to tell me about it pleeeeease shoot me a message

[torpid pilot]

True! I’ll see if I really want Princeton and consider that :) don’t wanna take up spots for others though if I’m not considering it seriously 🙂‍↕️

[hollow matrix]

yeah I’m gonna reject UCLA waitlist for the same reason, I don’t wanna take up someone’s spot for a school that isn’t my top top choice

[teal dagger]

congrats! which engineering are you thinking about?

[vagrant whale]

well this has become a very hard choice

[queen current]

did u get into pton?

[vagrant whale]

yes

[queen current]

omg ur so cracked

i didnt get in but if u want my opinion id say princeton lol 🐅

but ofc depending on aid and what not

[vagrant whale]

😬

[solid dawn]

🐅

[vagrant whale]

😬

[hybrid hazel]

Is it possible to get of the waitlist for pton?

And if you do get off do they still give decent aid?

[stable depot]

It is

They are one of the hardest to get off tho

I got WL too

[hybrid hazel]

Yikes

[solid dawn]

not related to wl

it’s assessed separately

the finaid people don’t know wtf is happening or that you got waitlisted necessarily

[tender orbit]

princeton #1 😛😛😛

[solid dawn]

pton on top

[native sparrow]

is there a princeton 2030 gc

if u got into it can u add me

[errant stirrup]

Mechanical and Aerospace is what I applied for!

[hard finch]

anyone deferred ea to accepted?

[errant stirrup]

lmk if you find out

[vagrant whale]

ditto

[hybrid hazel]

Princeton doesn't allow loci?

[rugged wolf]

princeton is a dream omg

Is anyone in Princeton studying Econ? Can you shoot me a DM? thank uuu!

[stable depot]

they allow it

[teal dagger]

awesome! i’m currently a first year in MAE, although I’m completing the sophomore curriculum rn

lmk if you have any questions, feel free to dm

[teal dagger]

I’ve only experienced MAT201 and MAT202 so far (standard multivariable and linear algebra) and they take closer to like 5-8 hours from my experience

probably different at higher level math classes or even the advanced level multivariable/linear

[gloomy perch]

wait are you sure?

how do you upload it then

i was waitlisted

[next hull]

i think you should be able to submit it on the applicants portal documents section, or you could always email it to the admission's office

[gloomy perch]

thank you!

[rugged wolf]

do they send out packages to intl students?

[lavish moth]

Math major sleep schedule here is fucked

But it’s also the major with the most aura

[errant stirrup]

Wait yeah isn’t the math like

evil at princeton

I keep hearing this

Aura yes but oh my goodness

[next hull]

yeah they do. They shipped mine all the way to Kenya!

[next hull]

idk how y'all do it

[solid dawn]

yes

but a lot of the math kids here are like geniuses so they do well

[west zephyr]

waitlisted 0.0

[plucky ore]

Is it safe to say that Princeton(and MIT) care more about academics than other schools because of their tougher curriculum? Because they want to see if you will do well

[errant stirrup]

maybe? but mine were imperfect so idk

I did not get into MIT though

[lavish moth]

I don’t I’m cos 😭

But I know a bunch of math majors

They sleep at like 4am and wake up at noon and then pull all nighters like every other week

[torpid pilot]

@solid dawn my pton interviewer offered to treat me for a celebratory meal if I stop by in nyc, I told u she was tea 🤷‍♂️

[solid dawn]

that is tea

[solid dawn]

i hope to be a tea interviewer next year

even if the kids get rejected

[errant stirrup]

When can you start interviewing

do you have to be a senior?

[torpid pilot]

I hope we both become tea interviewers 🥹🤞

[errant stirrup]

or junior

[torpid pilot]

For yale it’s seniors working with the AO but iirc for most others it’s after graduation

[solid dawn]

☠️

[solid dawn]

alums interview

[torpid pilot]

See this is why you’ll never be a tea interviewer

ur gonna be that nightmare interviewer gang 😔

[lime comet]

does anyone have info/opinions on workload & culture at Caltech vs. Princeton? got into Caltech rea but was feeling unsure because I'm not the quickest learner & I feel intimidated by their rigorous academics. I think my parents love Princeton but I don't have the best understanding of it, like how does it compare to Caltech (mostly in terms of academic work)? I've heard about the writing seminars and idk, for me that makes Princeton just as intimidating as Caltech

[wooden copper]

they’re both lowkey hard

well like all peer institutions of them are hard but they r hard hard

[lime comet]

okay so I should just lock in and consider the other factors 😭

[solid dawn]

just come to pton

be an ivy kid

[eager matrix]

yale interviewer in my state told a girl he doesnt support women’s rights or lgbtq+ rights and he doesnt want her on campus bc he doesnt think she will belong 😬

[hybrid hazel]

Oh

....

[eager matrix]

right

it was so uncalled for

so random too 😭 😭

[hybrid hazel]

Thats so insane

If he had a gf he'd be the type to beat then

Oh

[lavish moth]

Go to Princeton, the curriculum is really hard at Caltech and you probably won’t have much fun there

[lavish moth]

Ts only happens at Yale, will never happen at pton trust

[lavish moth]

Lowk I think pton is easier than Stanford

Yall on the quarter system

So you cover twice as much material as us

[torpid pilot]

I get what you’re saying but my interviewer was genuinely the sweetest soul ever :) appreciate the caution though haha

[lavish moth]

Just go to Yale bro

Bulldog days is by far the most fun out of the admitted student days

Really says something about the culture there

[torpid pilot]

I think I will :) I can’t go to bdd so that’s great to hear, thanks for the insight 🤞

[hybrid hazel]

Being waitlisted and missing out on the admitted students days 🙃

[vagrant whale]

go to yale.

[stable depot]

Are you going there still

[vagrant whale]

that remains to be seen💀

but yale> brown and Cornell‼️

[lavish moth]

Now you better go to Princeton

[vagrant whale]

we’ll see

[eager matrix]

😭

yale ain’t want me
