<p>I am an international student, and I got my rejection letter today</p>

<p>Dear ___<br>
The admissions committee has met and I am sorry to inform you that we were not able to admit you to Princeton this year. We received a record applicant pool of over 17500 applications and we were able to admit only a small percentage of that pool for an entering class of 1220 students.</p>

<pre><code>We realize you may be disappointed with this decision. We could not admit all the qualified students who applied to Princeton in this admission cycle. Our choices reflect the strength and size of our applicant pool, and they are not judgments on any student’s potential as a college student.

The admissions committee made each decision in the context of the other applications and therefore, we cannot provide specific reasons why certain students were not offered admission. The enclosed “Statement to Candidates” gives an overview of the process. We know this explanation may not be consoling, but it is as much as can be practically given.

The committee appreciated the time, care, and effort you put into your application. We wish you well as you pursue your education.

                                                                                                         Sincerely,

                                 Janet Lavin Rapelye    
                                 Dean of Admission
