<p>I was wondering if you used the common app. I read a book that said to use the actual school app when available, but the common app would be so much easier. Did any of you get in using the common app? btw....congrats on your acceptances...how cool to be going to Princeton!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p><em>raises hand</em> I did. </p>
<p>I don't think it should affect their decision much or at all.</p>
<p>I used the Common App. The Princeton app is almost identical to it anyways.</p>
<p>i did. that was one of my biggest regrets at first, but now i don't think it matters much.</p>
<p>It makes no difference at all. I was accepted RD last year. I attended a dinner with Admissions Dean Rapelye, and this question came up. She said it makes no difference, and there's even some possibility they may just go all common app sometime in the future.</p>
<p>I did use common app.</p>
<p>I used the common app for all my schools, and i got in.</p>
<p>I did as well. I think the Princeton supplement is somewhat extensive, though (compared to schools like Harvard and Yale), so like everyone else said, the common app+ supplement ends up being pretty much the same thing as Princeton's own app.</p>
<p>Definitely makes a small difference. Admission officers get slightly annoyed looking for info on the Common App. However insignificant it may be, there is a slight advantage using the school's App. (Info from dartmouth admissions officer).</p>
<p>I used the common application and got in!!!!</p>
<p>For Princeton, according to Dean Rapelye herself, it makes no difference. I heard this in person.</p>
<p>Perhaps for Dartmouth and other schools, there may be a slight difference.</p>
