<p>@CocoMojo13. I am not surprised you were deferred at Princeton looking at your extracurricular awards/prowess.
There is one school up there that you are applying to that is tops for engineering and equestrian…even though they do not officially “recruit” like in the other sports (since it remains a club sport)…they DO look for TOP equestrians. You may have weakened your position with Stanford by not applying REA with your sports background (depending on how many applied in the early round and got in already). And I would not be surprised Princeton may have deferred you thinking even if you were accepted…you would attend “another” school that “fits” your background…</p>

<p>If I were you…I would try and contact the equestrian team’s coach about your interest in participating if accepted…because as I see it now…without this (equestrian awards/passion)…you would just be considered another typical applicant. Hope this helps.</p>
