<p>Can anyone post the statistics this year?</p>

2

<p>5 from my country (Japan) including me</p>

3

<p>thats demotivating :(</p>

4

<p>5 people from Japan applied or 5 got in?</p>

5

<p>66 internationals got in, I think.</p>

6

<p>66 from ED?</p>

7

<p>Well, certainly not RD, since that is usually around 250-300.</p>

8

<p>Just one ED admit from India... Last year there were 2 admits in all from this country.</p>

9

<p>Did anyone get in from Sweden (or any other Scandinavian country)?</p>

10

<p>Do Canadians count as internationals?</p>

11

<p>Yes, canadians do count as internationals.</p>

<p>@snipanlol: Of course not. The international percentage of the entire class (~1200 students) is about 10%, so 250-300 internationals is a bit far-fetched</p>

12

<p>Yes, it should be 66.</p>

<p>5 applied from Japan.</p>

<p>250-300 is not far-fetched b/c not all of the admitted international students will choose to enroll.</p>

15

<p>how many people applied international ED if only 66 were accepted??? Does Princeton consider financial aid differently fro international students than domestic?</p>

16

<p>Financial aid is not considered differently (if you're admitted and have need, you'll get it -- that seems to be the general rule), but the international pool as a whole may be tougher. (Sucks to be us.)</p>

17

<p>Princeton is the most liberal univ about financial aid for internationals... One of the CCer here who applied early was given a grant of over $45000. So you shouldnt be worrying about financial aid..</p>

18

<p>but yeah we INtles have to worry about gettin in! :D</p>

19

<p>princeton is need-blind for all applicants, domestic and international</p>

20

<p>Slightly more than 100 internationals per year are enrolled at Princeton for about 8.5% of the total class according to the school's CDS. They probably admit around 40 to 50 of them in the ED round. </p>

<p>The net result is that they will not admit more than 100 internationals in the RD round. As a point of comparison MIT has the same yield with international applicants as with US applicants without an ED program. There is no reason Princeton's yield will be significantly different.</p>

<p>Princeton does not publish the number of international applicants but if it is similar to MIT's it would translate to a 5% acceptance rate.</p>
