<p>Does anyone know the stats for those accepted ED into engineering (ORFE especially) for females in particular?</p>
<p>94 of the 593 early admits were for engineering (<a href="http://www.dailyprincetonian.com/archives/2005/01/05/news/11741.shtml%5B/url%5D">http://www.dailyprincetonian.com/archives/2005/01/05/news/11741.shtml</a>) and I know I've heard somewhere that they eventually want 20% of the class to be engineering, if that helps at all.</p>
<p>Thanks! The thing is though...did only 100 apply? If that is the case then there is a 94% acceptance rate...if there were 500 applicants than the acceptance rate was not that high...so it all makes a difference I guess. It was still all interresting info! :)</p>
<p>I know they very much want females. They are starting an exchange program with Smith in order to have more females. <a href="http://www.princeton.edu/pr/news/05/q1/0105-smith.htm%5B/url%5D">http://www.princeton.edu/pr/news/05/q1/0105-smith.htm</a>
I don't know what that means in terms of their admissions policies re female students applying to Princeton. Worth asking in an info session.</p>
<p>Thanks! Are info sessions common and throughout the year? I will visit this next school year probably. Do any Princeton engineering students recommend ORFE? If so, why?</p>
<p>To find out about info sessions, go to the Admissions page and click on Visiting Princeton. Info sessions are also held around the U.S. If you sign up as a prospective applicant, they will send you a postcard when one comes to your area.</p>
