@nicolasdeadman no evidence suggest that someone who missing the pfaa still don’t receive the email
if someone who missed the documents but no reminder email, then princeton may change their policy this year
@quitpro there were people on last year’s thread that never submitted the pfaa and didnt receive the email
DD was deferred from EA and accepted by MIT yesterday. But she still wishes to get into P.
@nicolasdeadman Conjecture ahead: what if they didn’t apply for FA at all? Also, if I finished the PFAA well before the deadline, the email or lack of email wouldn’t even apply to me, bc my financial info is all in, correct?
Right @applicant1313
@nicolasdeadman I got deferred early action and they sent me an email that I didn’t apply for aid. They never even asked my guidance counselor for first semester grades.
@Pianomonster20 Im guessing that this supposed “loophole” only applies to RD given the vast increase in applicants compared to EA
That there is NO CORRELATION between receiving an email regarding PFAA and the admission has been amply proven during last year’s admission cycle. There were many who had received the email but ended up being rejected or waitlisted. Don’t place your hopes in a wrong place.
^ Like I said
^ I know. Just give it a couple days, and the subject will resurface…
You misspelled “hours” (or perhaps “minutes”) 
yeah @skieurope how do you not get annoyed by answering the same question? Why cant people just wait? I know everyone is anxious, I know i am, but like patience is a virtue.
@skieurope My bad… :((
I have a Word doc with my most frequent answers that I cut and paste. >:)
@worrymom2018 as someone who was waitlisted at MIT, I also hope your daughter gets to go to Princeton 
@worrymom2018 DS was also adMITted (RA). Now waiting for Princeton and Harvard (REA deferred).
@ski_racer I wish you good luck on 3/28, on Princeton and others.
What are your thoughts on people who are deferred at EA/ED to being rejected at RD? Just from reading some of the posts on different school boards, it seems that if you were deferred, at RD you end up rejected. Does anyone see a pattern? or are there statistics on this?
“Stanford, however, only deferred 8.5 percent of early applicants. While Princeton and Harvard rejected 1.3 and 7.8 percent of early applicants, respectively, and Yale rejected 25.8 percent of applicants, Stanford rejected 80.7 percent of their applicants.”

From what I’ve seen in its past numbers, Princeton typically only provides acceptances or deferrals EA. This doesn’t necessarily mean that deferred applicants are for sure going to be rejected, they may just have been uncertain about whether to give a student a hard yes that early in the game. If it was a school like Stanford, then I’d say that deferred applicants have a good chance at getting accepted, but honestly with Princeton it’s like you’re back to a fresh slate. Take it as a good or a bad thing, but hopefully that helped!
I didn’t apply to Princeton EA but I got deferred from Yale EA so I get the pain, it’s hard just having to wait more ugh
@MyDogsNameIsFat thank you for your response. I agree the wait is difficult, for kids and parents. I don’t understand the wait when it come to RD. How many schools did you apply to? Do you have outcomes on all or most?
@MaybeHarvard2022 how many schools did you apply to? I see you in many of the same school boards. 
@MisPollitas00 A friend of mine got deferred at first and finally was accepted to Princeton. But she chose to attend Harvard. lol
