<p>Does Princeton discriminate between common and their app. when evaluating students? How many essays does the princeton app. requires? It seems to me its more work to do the common app. because I have to submit common app. essay plus Princeton essay when I can just make my common app. essay the princeton essay if I dont use common app.</p>
<p>princeton doesn't discriminate between the two, so submit whichever one you would prefer.</p>
<p>The Princeton application also requires 2 essays, only that you must choose 2 topics from their options, instead of one topic and the common app essay. If you also apply to other schools that use the common application, you save time if you submit the common application to Princeton. There is no difference for them.</p>
