<p>Does anyone know approximately how many ED applicants does princeton get from India? And also from around the world... I tried googling but no luck..</p>
<p>Aw I wish I knew. I asked akash what the rkp pton ed'ers were like and he said there's nobody so that's cool :p</p>
<p>NOBODY! Thats some great news :D</p>
<p>Yeah I know!! Heh. People are scared by the essays. Gotta love princeton for having five of them - if you count the summer one and the optional, which is well optional but oh well</p>
<p>The competition for internationals is very, very tough. From what I have heard and read, only the best students from abroad apply to top american colleges, which makes the applicant pool a bit (not sure how much) stronger than the overall applicant pool. In addition, 1937 internationals applied last year and 158 were admitted, for an overall admit rate of 8.2%. The "wildcard" aspect of the process comes in when they're looking at applicants from XXX number of countries and parts of the world and want a diverse and interesting mix of students. There is probably an attempt to admit students from a diverse array of backgrounds and nationalities, which may make it tougher for people from places like India, China, Western Europe, or Canada (all places where they probably get a high number of applicants).
Unfortunately, the entire class cannot be made up of foreign students, so it appears they cap them at around 10%. Anyways, ED should help you guys a lot, because I'm sure they fill a lot of that space with ED people.</p>
<p>BTW, here's where I got the numbers from above:</p>
<p>The info is towards the bottom. Oh, and if you're interested, check out that legacy admit rate...wtf?? Also look at the SAT interquartile ranges for applicants/acceptees/enrollees. Interesting stuff.</p>
<p>yeah, that legacy admit rate is high, but they only made up 3% of the applicants so I'm not to bothered...plus, if they didn't do that then the school would most likely have a smaller endowment and therefore less financial aid, making it impossible for many of us to even apply....</p>

Best, not really; ambitious, yes.</p>
<p>First and foremost, only the super rich typically even think of studying abroad (even in, e.g. ukraine). US is the most expensive. Then comes the 'brilliant' part.</p>
<p>For the rest of us, hoping for HYPM, or pulling hair trying to get into IIT/AIIMS is the only option.</p>
<p>How hard is IIT to get into? I saw something on TV about it one time...it looks pretty crazy. What is AIIMS?</p>
<p>Haha, cavalier...timing.....see mercurysquad's thread: "And now just for some perspective"...</p>
<p>Kebree, legacies only make up 3% of the applicant pool yet 14% of the incoming student body <em>cringes</em>. I guess what you said about the whole endowment thing is true, but still...</p>
<p>30 years down the line, our children might benefit from that. Dont just think from your own (our own!) perspective.</p>
