<p>Hey :) I have been wondering the number of A-level applicants that were admitted to Princeton on a yearly basis? and also how many subjects they took and also level of ECs?</p>
<p>Thank You.</p>
<p>sorry, I haven’t been admitted but I am an A level student applying to the class of 2017, so would also be interested in the answer if anyone has it…</p>
<p>Really how many A-level subjects did you do? and what level of Ecs? :)</p>
<p>I applied to Harvard SCEA and got deferred. I have an A* in Maths already, and 5 A* predictions. Have now also applied to Y and P, so would be interested to see what people say.</p>
<p>Looshin, are you a private school student? You can get into any British institution with those stellar grades. Do you have any extracurricular activities?</p>
<p>British applicants unite.</p>
<p>I’m taking three. Predicted A*AA.</p>
<p>Haha, I’m applying during my AS year, and taking five courses. I’m predicted ABBBB, but expected AAAAB (my school has a weird system).</p>
<p>I hope these grades don’t disadvantage me, because I go to quite a bad state school (only one in the area), with only 13/1600 students getting one (or more) A-grades. My teachers have been very supportive though, they all wrote excellent recommendations.</p>
<p>@MeIsHM I don’t know about Princeton, but certainly Harvard states that if you aren’t in grade 12/year 13 by the time you apply then you are severely disadvantaged. How’ve you got round to applying in year 12? I sympathise with the predicted grades. I’m eight marks above an A<em>, at the top of my year in economics but the teacher only predicted me an A, the *</em>****bag.</p>
<p>I have four A*s and an A in A-levels, and I’ve been deferred SCEA.</p>
<p>Mabrook. It’s better than being rejected.</p>
<p>^^ LOL. Thanks.</p>
<p>POmani, I am aware of Harvard’s statement on applying as a Year 12 student. However, after speaking to my teachers and tutor, we came to a conclusion that I should try to apply this year.</p>
<p>This is because of the standard of the school. My teachers wrote on my recommendations that they don’t think spending an additional year at school will necessarily make a reasonable difference.</p>
<p>I am really hoping that I get accepted this year, but if I do not, I always have next year.</p>
<p>I’m taking 4 a levels, plus an epq… predicted straight a*s but I think my school is relatively optimistic… :’) I got deferred from Yale scea… not too bothered as I never expected to get in, just treating it like another of my RD schools</p>
<p>Do we know if we’re allowed to send in additional information for RD applications? Just got back my TSA score, and I think it might be worth a mention.</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure you can. Besides, they won’t finish reading applications for a while…</p>
<p>Hey guys, I hate to pry, but shouldn’t the A-Level exam board also be taken into consideration? I haven’t actually read up about it, but for example one of my friends doing Further maths with me in the CIE syllabus told me that he had done some research and that one of the other exam board’s further maths was where imaginary numbers were introduced? (not sure, but I know for CIE that our normal maths has algebra involving complex numbers and argand diagrams)</p>
<p>Anyway, doing mine from South Africa! Predicted 3A*s, and an A(B) and a B;
Subjects;
Maths
Further Maths
Physics
Chemistry
French (AS, ie without literature)</p>
<p>Looking forward to the release of the results in a few days, good luck everyone.</p>
<p>PS. If anyone does find out the stats for A levels students and also if there is actually a significant difference in syllabus content between the exam boards (ie. OCR, AQA, CIE, etc) please post on here! :)</p>
<p>Exam boards do not make a difference, as all examinations are accredited by Ofqual (UK Governmental agency). </p>
<p>They do have slight difference here and there, but all have similar difficulty.</p>
<p>Are you completely sure? Call me ignorant (and since I haven’t done enough research on it I may very well be here), but I find that a lot of the “average” UK students do 4-6 A Levels and get A<em>s in many if not all of them… I am not knocking them at all as I know all A Level syllabi are still extremely difficult compared to many high school leaving exams… but I don’t know many people who get 3 A</em>s on the CIE exams, whereas I now loads who get 4, sometimes 5 A*s in OCR and AQA? </p>
<p>Maybe its just a different approach? Just something that I have noticed as a general trend across the different exam boards… If someone can find a decent unbiased source please link it in, as I have only found blog or potentially biased posts online.</p>
<p>Good luck to everyone, and if anyone else has gotten their marks back, I hope they were stellar!</p>
<p>“I find that a lot of the “average” UK students do 4-6 A Levels and get A*s in many if not all of them”</p>
<p>Hahaha, that’s bollocks, the average UK student has rubbish grades. What is relevant, though, is that the average UK HYP applicant will be predicted 3+A*/As, so, yeah.</p>
