<p>Hey everyone! All the other classes seem to have one and as we'll be Juniors next year I thought this was a good time to create one. So talk, chat, let us know what you'll be doing to attend the school of your dreams, why you want to go to Princeton, etc.</p>
<p>I have something to say: I love Princeton.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I’m not following the logic. :)</p>
<p>I’m afraid this thread will just make me upset by seeing how many other 2016ers are already looking at Princeton :(</p>
<p>This thread just made me feel 3 years older… and I’m only a rising sophomore.</p>
<p>haha I am actually wearing my Princeton t-shirt. 
I REALLY want to go there!!</p>
<p>^
Lol, why did you buy a T-Shirt before getting in?</p>
<p>I feel old. I feel like I belong in 6th grade.</p>
<p>Well hello all you incoming juniors, lol.
This will be an interesting thread XD</p>
<p>@Saugus I just loved it that much. haha I also got a Princeton Football one.</p>
<p>@tcwest…I’m wearing my Princeton hoodie Haha I bet I can beat anyone here regarding the amount of paraphernalia that I own. </p>
<p>And yes Class of 2016 seems strange but Class of 2012 means the people who were accepted into Princeton in 2008 so we are the Class of 2016 yay!</p>
<p>Question: </p>
<ol>
<li><p>What is your biggest barrier to being accepted into Princeton? </p></li>
<li><p>What is your greatest advantage?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>I’ll start: </p>
<ol>
<li><p>Well at the moment I’m scared to death that I’m going to get a B in this precalc class I’m taking at a university over the summer…but I just got an A on this huge test so hopefully I will be okay. Also, my school is awful. We rarely/never graduate students to top schools and the ECs at our school are very generic and boring.</p></li>
<li><p>Hmmm…I’m valedictorian (atm), I have a unique background, lots of APs, well-rounded, and an EC that I’m very very passionate about etc…haha I’ll think of something less vague in a moment </p></li>
</ol>
<p>Who’s next :)?</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Standardized test scores and rigor of schedule.</p></li>
<li><p>My dad went to Princeton! Minor legacy.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>You guys are too young to be thinking about college! Okay, maybe not TOO young, but I wasn’t thinking until late into junior year.</p>
<p>Wow, you guys are starting early…</p>
<p>It is starting quite early, compared to other threads… oh well, I guess it’s just something to pass the time…</p>
<p>Meh don’t feel too bad about thinking about college this early. I joined CC when I was a sophomore in high school … 4 years ago.</p>
<p>But we’re just a year earlier than the 2015 hopefuls…who will be seniors…I think that everyone is thinking this is the 2016 high school class but it’s the 2016 COLLEGE CLASS</p>
<p>^Yes… we know that… And it’s still too early to be thinking about it. Do yourself a favor and enjoy the time you still have without worrying about college admissions.</p>
<p>I think it is the right time to start this thread: It is what we mainly achive in the coming 12 months that will show in our applications.
</p>
<p>1- I am international
2- Not too sure.</p>
<p>Okay, don’t listen to the college sophomore who has already gone through this process…</p>
<p>Hey guys,</p>
<p>I just graduated high school and will be attending princeton. I saw this thread and realized that i started thinking about college going into junior year. I remember everyone telling I should wait until the end of junior year, but I happened to think that this is the right time to start thinking about it and even if its not, If you guys are anything like me, once you have started thinking about it, you won’t be able to stop.</p>
<p>So, as I empathize with your situation, I am glad to answer any questions any one may have. Feel free to ask me as a person who has gone through this process and been accepted to Princeton.</p>
