<p>@MonochromeAddict good thought…</p>
<p>The application according to the common application will be available in August no July…</p>
<p>Im applying.Ojala</p>
<p>I’m a Canadian student hoping to get into Princeton class of 2015. My average is fairly decent but I do extracurricular activities.</p>
<p>Might as well add myself to the list. Here it goes for Princeton 2015 hopefully!</p>
<p>I’m applying to SEAS. Not the greatest of stats, but we’ll see how it pans out.</p>
<p>I don’t know if I’m going to apply or not.</p>
<p>My mother thinks it’s a good idea.</p>
<p>I don’t know what I think…</p>
<p>My HS had over 7 acceptances all academic based</p>
<p>1 full ride to pton :D</p>
<p>Btw, our school is blue ribbon so maybe thats why haha</p>
<p>East Brunswick High School in Jersey anyone?</p>
<p>
Your claim that a student received a “full ride to Pton” already leads me to believe that your entire post is of dubious credibility seeing as aid is completely need-based. Secondly, East Brunswick HS isn’t an academic powerhouse in NJ, so I doubt you guys had 7 acceptances to Princeton this year. There are 5-6 public schools in NJ that boast such stats, and EB certainly isn’t one of them.</p>
<p>I decided today that Princeton, not Harvard or Yale is going to be my reach school. </p>
<p>I really have no shot though, not that I don’t have great stats, but there is absolutely nothing unique about me and I am probably one of the most boring applicants out there.</p>
<p>Man i’m getting kind of depressed that college admissions aren’t really as merit based as I previously thought, but I guess its my own fault for not really pursuing many extracurriculars seeing as I’m a lazy ****.</p>
<p>gotmilklol, there was only 3 schools in NJ that had that kind of numbers for Princeton admits this year, and I go to one of them, while another is in the neighboring town. To say the least, what Jersey12 said is completely true.</p>
<p>buddyD, </p>
<p>I strongly advise against selecting merely one “reach.” The fact that your admittance is unlikely is exactly why applying to more is helpful.</p>
<p>@buddyD:
I’m not that great of an applicant too. Compared to those prodigies, not really.
And there are 29,000 applicants out there, so chances are, there’ll be someone more boring than you. ;)</p>
<p>My school only allows 2 ECs each academic year, so you are at a better shape than I am. :)</p>
<p>buddyD. be optimistic.
stop whining.
Optimism is the key.
Best of luck to you.</p>
<p>You will rock.</p>
<p>Its never too late to do something meaningful.</p>
<p>I ditto alexcuad.</p>
<p>You are a junior … right? Do something this summer that will really dazzle adcoms. Whatever your specialty might be.</p>
<p>Am a hopeful as well. Not too excited about the grade deflation, though ):</p>
<p>why s should that give you the edge over someone with a stronger application?</p>
<p>wow new jersey…there’s the centre of learning and culture!</p>
<p>^ You alright there buddy?</p>
<p>I’m also comin’ to Princeton!</p>
