***Official Princeton University Class of 2022 RD Applicant Thread***

@h0kulani I’d say you should probably at least mention what other activities you’ve done over the past two summers, but if you want to go really in-depth for that one activity you mentioned, they would see that a sign that you truly appreciated that one experience. For me, I kind of went into brief detail on 3 meaningful things I did over the past two summers…so as long as you give them a little more than just one activity, you should be fine.

@h0kulani @happysnappy I’m just stating the year and briefly talking about each thing I did, since I did a lot the past two summers. Or I might talk about the big thing I did last summer. I don’t know yet since I’m still in the beginning phases of that essay.

I applied regular decision to Princeton but haven’t been able to visit yet would this hurt my application

@as2018

NO

For the EC and summer essays, why does it say about 150 words if the max is 250?

@MaybeHarvard2022 hey! Just of out of curiosity, are you also applying to Princeton despite getting into harvard? It’s just that I saw you on the Harvard thread :slight_smile:

@yayaylearner hey, yes i am!

@MaybeHarvard2022 lol I’m applying to harvard despite getting into Yale, same boat!

@h0kulani good choice :wink:

applying RD to princeton, on their website it says that your school report and transcript are due by January 1st. I’m not sure if my counselor sent them already, and if she hasn’t she won’t be able to until we return to school on the 4th. Will this affect my application?

Anyone wanna share the quote they put on their Princeton app?? Mine was from the Garfield movie :)) YOLO, right?

Mine was from Finding Nemo! Just the first quote to pop in my head

Mine was from Dreams from My Father by Obama

Mine’s the opening line to the Bee Movie! Couldn’t think of anything else haha. Yolo for sure!

I used Star Wars. No, not some inspirational Yoda line. A Han Solo line. “Laugh it up, fuzzball”, to be precise.

I just submitted my app for Princeton!

My quotation was from “Hairspray” (movie version of the musical).

Mine was from Interstellar :slight_smile:

I submitted my application a few days ago and I think the next few months will go by in a blink of the eye… I’m from Las Vegas, I think someone from LV was admitted during EA but to any Las Vegas applicants, and to all applicants, good luck!

is it easier to get into B.S.E or A.B???

@grundeis Princeton doesn’t admit by major or degree plan. Choosing one or the other will not impact your likelihood of admission.
