<p>what were his stats? were they really amazing?</p>
<p>He had pretty good stats & is hispanic.</p>
<p>I wonder if Harvard even knows that he used the financial aid excuse to back out of the Princeton ED contract...</p>
<p>whys everyone getting all worked up--its almost like you're ****ed he wont be at school with you next year. he clearly belongs at harvard anyway.. seems more of a crimson type than a tiger</p>
<p>How do we know anyone's results statements on CC are true unless we also know their real names?</p>

<p>Is that why you were hailing every anonymous results statement as a revelation in the multiple-SAT threads?</p>
<p>I know real people in the real world, but I don't know the person with the screen name Calculus.</p>
<p>It is very unlikely that all those posts you hailed were from people you know.</p>
<p>We never did hear the answer as to how those anecdotes were in any way relevant to the point at issue (i.e. adverse potential or not, in multiple SATs).</p>
<p>I'm still looking for statements from Princeton admission officers that SAT I retakes matter at all.</p>
<p>"Princeton admissions officers" is a new request, so it is strange to describe it as an unmet challenge still looking for its answer. </p>
<p>That request, of course, continues to equivocate between what was never claimed and is easy for you to dispute (an advance guarantee that taking SAT twice will reduce chances of admission) and what has been claimed many times but you are unable to contest (i.e., that having taken SAT twice, the results can reduce chances in some situations relative to the previous one-shot result, or relative to the two-shot "superscore"). </p>
<p>In any event, we are still looking for your answer to the obvious and repeatedly posted point, that stories of multiple-SAT admits are completely consistent with severe adverse impact on admissions, such as Harvard throwing half of such applications in the trash unread.</p>
<p>This is the Princeton Forum, so I ask here a follow-up question about a statement I earlier found in the Harvard Forum. </p>
<p>
<p>This theme is echoed in EVERY SINGLE admissions book written by ex-Ivy League admissions officers that I could find in the local bookstore, including ones who worked at Dartmouth, Princeton, Harvard and Yale.
</p>
<p>My follow-up question is, has anyone ever found a statement by a Princeton admission officer anywhere that it is disadvantageous to take the SAT I more than exactly one time? I'm not attributing any motives to the person who made the CC post cited above, nor am I saying that I have concluded whether or not I agree with the post. I am simply asking where, and in what terms, a statement was made by a Princeton admission officer about how Princeton treats applications from applicants who submit more than one SAT I score. I am also asking, as I have asked before, whether any statement from an admission officer on the issue is more focused and specific than Harvard's Web site statement "We consider a student's best test scores."</p>
<p>I beg the pardon of participants in this thread for continuing the thread hijack. The original question in the thread is whether an applicant who declined an ED offer from Princeton would be admitted to Harvard in the regular admission round, and I am curious about that issue too.</p>
<p>Don't Ivy League schools share a list of ED admits? Wouldn't Harvard know that Calculus had applied to Princeton? If that's the case, both Harvard and Princeton would be most likely to rescind their admission offers. Can't really say I feel bad for him if that happens.</p>
<p>Yes they share ED lists, but apparently Calculus got out of his ED contract as opposed to breaking it, so the ED list doesn't really make a difference.</p>
<p>Well, if Calculus didn't want to come to Princeton, then I'm glad he/she won't be.</p>
<p>I think someone posted on a different thread comments made by Calculus that he just used the Financial Aid as an excuse to get out the ED agreement. That is what Harvard is unaware of. However, I am glad that he will not be at Princeton too.</p>
<p>but even if harvard offered him more, isn't it likey that princeton matched their offer?</p>
<p>only if he went back to Princeton and told them. It's all a sham.</p>

<p>He didn't have an offer from Harvard at that time.</p>
<p>I am curious... what do you mean by "princeton and harvard share ED lists"? Does that mean they share the information in the application or just the names?</p>
<p>and students can get off the ED lists by explaining some reasons? that is the first time I've heard about this kind of stuff! shocking!</p>
<p>You can't be legally screwed by wiggling out of ED. It's just horrible, horrible form and nothing more. And the schools, if they are aware of the situation fully, have every right to boot your undeserving butt out the door.</p>
