<p>Since no has made one as of yet, let us discuss. </p>
<p>Anyone know anything about the yield? ;)</p>
<p>Maybe it’s a 60-65% yield, but that may change since Princeton returned to EA.</p>
<p>Really, its that high?
I’m crossing fingers but have no idea what to expect…</p>
<p>The yield will be higher this year. It’s predicted to be 1300 out of 2095, (in contrast to last year’s of 1300 out of 2300), so roughly 62%. Although honestly this could change, at least based off anecdotal evidence, I only know of like four people who have turned Princeton down for another school out of a group of about 30-40 HYPSM cross-admits.</p>
<p>So…assuming a 62% yield, approximatley how many people get off the waitlist? 10? 50? 100?</p>
<p>Can someone answer this?</p>
<p>A 62% yield is 1,299 students out of the 2095. So for a class of 1300 it will be 1 free spot to get off the waitlist. This will only happen if there is a 62% yield.</p>
<p>If it makes anyone feel better, out of 15 people I know who got accepted to Princeton, only 6 have decided to attend.</p>
<p>people should post here as they start getting news of their acceptance so we can all be jealous! haha</p>
<p>Hello everyone- </p>
<p>I figured I’d post my query in this thread since (1) it pertains to my status as a waitlistee, and, in all likelihood, (2) it has probably been asked somewhere else for an earlier year but I lack the requisite motivation to look for it and (3) I don’t think it’s deserving of its own thread.</p>
<p>I’ll make it short and sweet. I have written a letter to Princeton’s admissions office detailing why, exactly, I think Princeton is the best fit for me and that I WILL accept an offer of admission should I get off the waitlist. Also, I’ve received a number of awards in the past month and I briefly detail those as well.</p>
<p>My question is this: Am I better off sending the letter in the mail or just e-mailing the office?</p>
<p>I appreciate any input - thanks!</p>
<p>Email is fine. My D emailed her follow-up letter, expressing exactly the things you mentioned. She may have followed with a hard copy snail mailed, but it was unnecessary as she rec’d a response via email thanking her for sending in additional info. I think she also sent in an additional letter of recommendation.</p>
<p>in the 2012 parents thread, 2 parents said their kids chose other schools. I personally know a couple of kids who chose other schools. However, in India thread, one kid said he chose Princeton over Harvard.</p>
<p>I’m the only one from my school attending Princeton, although 5 kids (including me) got accepted. One was waitlisted but he turned down the waitlist offer.</p>
<p>Oh, I am so lost. I did write a short letter on Why Princeton, but have no idea where to send it to. One of the replies above said daughter received a reply for her updates email, but so far for all emails I’ve sent to <a href=“mailto:uaoffice@princeton.edu”>uaoffice@princeton.edu</a> I never got a reply email since like…January. Anyone know a better address?</p>
<p>In my D’s school, I know two who were accepted. Both will attend.</p>
<p>Petitbobbon,
Email again to check in or better yet, call and ask.
Phone: (609) 258-3060</p>
<p>@Petitbonbon</p>
<p>No! I called them, and they said they got it. They didn’t send me an email confirmation either</p>
<p>thanks for the replies people…I called and was told that Princeton doesn’t send any sort of email replies unless the applicant strongly demands it or something… Okies I guess the letter is added to the file…</p>
<p>Isn’t the first round of waitlist acceptances coming around soon? Did anyone get off the WL yet? Curious!</p>
<p>Nope petitbonbon, I’m still waiting for their decision</p>
<p>I vaguely remember reading on the reply card that the latest Princeton will keep the waitlist open until is June 30th or something. Can anybody verify this?</p>
<p>July 1st is the final day^</p>
