<p>Guys, I'm starting to have really depressing thoughts that I won't be accepted ED to Princeton because I'm not a recruited athlete, I don't have legacy, and I'm not famous with a million dollars to donate. I just found out today that 30% of Princeton's accepted students are athletes/legacy. That means they'll make up like 60% of the ED pool.</p>
<p>Anyone else feel this way? I guess I'll just wait for my deferral letter...</p>
<p>meee!! it is soooooo depressing. plus a girl from my school is applying ED too and she's a legacy. and i don't think princeton's ever taken 2 people from my school :(</p>
<p>oh yeah, another kid's applying too.. not a legacy though- phewf</p>
<p>;( <em>moping</em>.... 4 people from my school are also applying.</p>
<p>ummm....try between 9-12 from my school :(</p>
<p>Any one applying to a school the caliber of Princeton has little hope of admission. My chances are next to nothing. However, statistics show that regardless of legacys, athletes, URMs, etc. it is easier to get into Princeton ED. So although the idea of quotas and such is demoralizing, there is still hope for a large envelope!</p>
<p>mmm I personally know 4 friends from my school who are applying. One is going for crew, another for math/science, the third is the class president and holds many other leadership positions, and the last one's dad AND grandmom/dad went to Princeton, in other words, a double legacy, and there's a building there named after her family or something...</p>
<p>How does a grandmom go to princeton? Pton went co-ed, like, in the 60s...they must've been uber-yound to have kids.</p>
