although it's interesting that so many people got rejected for princeton. Like last years poll was much better. But this year was supposed to be better bc of the administration and less intl applicants
so I wonder if upenn is gonna be worse this year too
but ig unlike penn, they didn't require sat/act so maybe their applicant pool didn't go down as much
torpid merlin
why was it worse this year?
it was a massacre
is it bcz most of the people are intls and not domestic?

no clue. Supposedly it's not supposed to be great bc of pressure from the administration to accept more domestic students

that's not true
i think it is to a degree because the % rate for REA isnt rlly refelctive

and visa issues-

theyre gonna fill most of teh spots tehy want with those kids

from what i've found, REA either is neutral or gives a slight boost. the not effective stuff is more of a misconception

18% of princeton is recruited tho
so thats almost 1 in 5 kids getting in
and they'll p much all gonna get in REA (what i think)
well idk if its 18% but thats what im getting online
i think the main issue is that ppl r just getting statistics from the AI on google nad using that
like the 80% defer rate isnt true at all ik for harvard it is but not princeton
they havent even posted it since 2014 and princeton hasnt even posted an acceptance rate in the last 5 years

it could be anywhere from 10-20%
red flower
how does that make a differnce?
each year they only replace the graduating students
craggy cloak
its prob 15%

so 18% is 18% from the entire 10000 students

bro
1500 out of 9000 total students are athletes, right? If only 200 students graduate, then the amount will go down to 1300 and they'll need to recruit 200 more students in the upcoming admissions cycle to replace
craggy cloak
yea hes right
but we wouldnt know the exact amnt
each year
etiher way more atheltes are coming in REA
theres rlly no reaso nfor them to do RD
if theyre recurited
uk taht right
red flower
but we wouldnt know the exact amnt
i mean- you could. It would just be a massive headache to figure it out
craggy cloak
yea what im tryna say is that
REA is too misleading
if ur not legacy, minority, first gen, QB, or athlette its not that big of a boost all those kids will get priority if theyre on par with u in terms of app and ecs and even ppl with wrose calibre will get in over u if they have that
red flower
but people think that there's like a thousand athletes applying REA and realistically it'll only be a few hundred and they're not all guaranteed admission. The coach gets a lot of input but not the final decision
so honestly the recruited athlete number could be relatively high but the actual admitted recruited athletes could be much lower assuming the coach tries to recruit more than he needs in case some get rejected
torpid merlin
this is my thought process
lets pretend princeton has 1000 total students. 250 per class. 20 percent of 1000 = 200. the athletes will be split equally among each class no? 200/4=50. seniors leave = 50 athletes gone. u need to get 50 athletes in the next class. 50/250=20%.
Like unless ur saying that somehow freshman dont have the athletes. and the athletes are majority senior. like somehow non athletes become athletes or that they transfer, i dont get how this doesn't work
@craggy cloak
is there some flaw here or smth

this is my thought process
> lets pretend princeton has 1000 total students. 25...
why did you divide 50/250
torpid merlin
why did you divide 50/250
because i'm talking about the % of students in the incoming class that are athletes
the incoming class has 250 students
craggy cloak
so honestly the recruited athlete number could be relatively high but the actual...
yes
the math doesnt matter guys
red flower
because i'm talking about the % of students in the incoming class that are athle...
yeah but it's not evenly split which is the problem. The incoming class has ~1000 students. If they need 50 athletes then they're only gonna recruit and admit 50 so it'll be 50 in this class
craggy cloak
this doesnt mater
red flower
now, if 250 graduate, then the incoming class will be 250
craggy cloak
lets change the course of this convo
torpid merlin
yeah but it's not evenly split which is the problem. The incoming class has ~100...
no the incoming class
doesnt have
1000 studnts
red flower
this doesnt mater
this is a matter of mathematical principles now
craggy cloak
bro
craggy cloak
this is a matter of mathematical principles now
no lets change
craggy cloak
yo it doesnt matter
craggy cloak
the truth is tbh ur better off getting in RD than REA in terms of u being a cracked person but no hooks
u rlly need a hook to max ur chances out for REA
red flower
like kinda? but your math ish depends on the athletes being equaally distributed
torpid merlin
max ur chances
craggy cloak
did u even apply?
craggy cloak
yo the thing is CC's will say stuff so u pay for them
torpid merlin
is scaring me
torpid merlin
bro ED has an advantage
craggy cloak
if anything its good for u lmao
torpid merlin
he's saying that
craggy cloak
ED has an advatnage but def not REA
torpid merlin
ED doesn't??
craggy cloak
i think ED has slight but its not that crazy tbh
REA def doesnt have one but ED does
torpid merlin
bro you've been crashing out for the longest time
craggy cloak
ED has a good advatnage cuz ur gonna pay but its not as crazy as it seems
torpid merlin
your wording was confusing
okay yeah
craggy cloak
REA has no advatnage anywyas and it shows
red flower
ED doesn't??
I'm saying that there's not that many recruited athletes applying REA as people think 😭
torpid merlin
it does depend on the athletes beind distributed
red flower
like yall act as if thousands of recruited athletes are taking up 50% of the ED spots
torpid merlin
my only concern with my logic was that somehow the athletes were not distributedd
equally
or whatever

i mean- realistically they aren't. It might've started that way a long time ago but that's likely changed
craggy cloak
I'm saying that there's not that many recruited athletes applying REA as people ...
i think ur right its not as many but i think still like when u tally upp all the stuff that colleges want all these diff groups its just a bit upsetting knowing that u rlly have a lower chance even if ur super cracked cuz they rather have sm1 else who qualifies for smth like a specific group or smth
craggy cloak
bro i think ED has an advantage
it def does but not as big as it seems
eveyrone applying ED is willing to pay uk that right
torpid merlin
i mean- realistically they aren't. It might've started that way a long time ago ...

some athletes have to retire early and leave the sport or some straight up die so it becomes uneven over time

idt he plans to put it on his app bc he knows it's bullshit 💀

yeah...
thankfully
rec letters
have to support
are they getting rec letter writers
to lie for them
as well
do they give the school teacher false ECs?
ocean spindle
Lowkey everyone embellishes a little bit
red flower
tbf- idt my teachers could prove my ec's even if they really wanted to. Like my school does volunteering and says to count your volunteering hours but they don't track it themselves lol. So I could put down any number and as long as it's about 50 hours close to the actual number then they'd believe it
torpid merlin
they do
they're cooked if the recs don't support
imo
if the recs and everything do not support
colleges will not believe
everything needs to match up
trust me

i was gonna do that for FBLA. I was gonna lie about being voted in for president bc I should have been but we got a bullshit new teacher who threw out all the chapter rulees we had in place 💀

we had a rule previously when I joined as a sophomore that "you can't run for president unless you've had a prior leadership role in fbla" THIS FUCKING SOPHOMORE WON THE PRES VOTE DESPITE ONLY HAVING JOINED FOR ONE YEAR WITH NO LEADERSHIP POSITION EXPERIENCE
AND SHE'S DOING A SHIT JOB RUNNING THE CLUB LO AND BEHOLD
no cuz like it pmo so bad. I'm in online school which was not a problem before bc the pres would just upload the presentation slides online that I could read through and see any dates but she won't fucking do that bc she hasn't had any leadership experience
and then FBLA is supposed to have had like 2 volunteering or fundraising projects by now but she also hasn't done any of that 😭
