Princeton 2019 SCEA Hopefuls Thread

<p>The 2018 thread was made in may last year, so now it's our turn! Who's applying SCEA to Princeton this fall? I'm so excited to apply.</p>

<p>Curious as to why you are applying SCEA, OP. What makes a good candidate for SCEA?</p>

<p>What are your stats?</p>

<p>@goingnutsmom‌ I think the only thing that makes a good candidate for Princeton SCEA is a passion for Princeton and having your application materials completed by October-ish. </p>

<p>@safizee‌ 2330 SAT, 800 Math ii (other sat iis in october and november), I’ll have an intermediate level in six languages, nonprofit founder, and running a business. I’m hoping they see how busy I’ve been lol. What are your stats?</p>

<p>@europeo 2140 SAT (no prep, hoping for 2250 in October but we’ll see), took Bio M last year and got 710 - hoping for higher SAT ii’s in June. EIC of school paper, 4 journalism/communication internships, black belt in karate and a couple other smaller things. 3.8 UW GPA, all A’s in high school except for honors geo, honors algebra 2 trig, chemistry (I know, don’t laugh!) and AP physics B. </p>

<p>What kind of business do you have?? That’s so cool! </p>

<p>and I will not be applying to Princeton SCEA :slight_smile: just was curious. </p>

<p>I plan to apply this November as well! I’m really excited, and I hope the admissions committee will see me for who I really am and grant me admission to their university. </p>

<p>I’m definitely applying in November </p>

<p>I’m hoping for the best this November and I’ll put forth my best application effort. All you can do at this point, really.</p>

<p>Probably will apply early action as well</p>

<p>Hey guys even i will be applying to princeton SCEA. I not have greats ECs . I have National level award, National level finalist, patents/researches, will open up a company soon . NGOs, fluent in 4 languages. Know lot about computers. SAT results waiting .I do not have olympiad medal . Is opening up a company plus point? </p>

<p>Found this thread!</p>

<p>Could someone answer this question - do teachers submit a recommendation letter only, or both the letter and some type of evaluation form?</p>

<p>Hi everyone! I most likely will be applying Princeton SCEA (but it’s still a toss-up between Penn ED and Princeton SCEA). I’m mainly waiting for my school to publish the GPA cutoffs for the top 10%, 20%, etcetc. I visited Princeton during the spring break of my freshman year and I fell completely in love with it!</p>

<p>My stats are pretty solid (2390, single sitting, 750+ on four SAT II tests, 3.9+ GPA) and my extracurriculars are quite unique and tailored to my intended major (it’s under humanities), but I’m nervous about my supplements, especially the 650 word one.</p>

<p>Hello all. I too will be applying to Princeton SCEA. Crossing my fingers! </p>

<p>Stat rundown:
SAT: 2240 SATII: Math 2: 750 USH: 730
GPA: 97.8/100max uw
Major: econ
ECS: My major activities show passion for economics, music and politics. </p>

<p>Best of luck to all!</p>

<p>Same boat, @Ambitious19! Not sure if I’m going to apply Penn ED or Princeton SCEA yet, but since my family doesn’t qualify for financial aid, I will probably choose Princeton.</p>

<p>Stats: 35 ACT, 2280 (760/760/760) SAT, 800/760/760 on SAT IIs, 3.95 UW, Valedictorian (1/826)
ECs: Music. And a lot of it. (And then your typical service and honor societies and academic organizations.)</p>

<p>Glad to see this thread! Just curious, how far is everyone on the applications? :)</p>

<p>I finished the first draft of my common app essay and brainstormed for all the Princeton supplements. I also started a bit on questions of other colleges that I’m planning to apply RD. </p>

<p>Hope I’m not too far behind! I definitely planned on doing more but I procrastinated, as usual…</p>

<p>@sr97329‌ I also finished the first draft of my commonapp essay and finished the Extra curricular short essay. Do people start the essays for the Regular Decision schools this early? I was planning on starting them in October</p>

<p>@HPClee‌ Phew! So it seems like I’m not behind but ahead…good :slight_smile: I honestly have no idea where I should be so I just aimed for as much as possible done in the summer. </p>

<p>@sr97329‌ Haha How long did it take you to write your commonapp draft? It took me 2 days and I’m a little concerned because I’ve read that it took other people weeks</p>

<p>@HPClee‌ It took me over a week if you count brainstorming. The actual writing part took about 2 days!</p>

<p>@sr97329‌ I see. And are you going to write multiple versions of the commonapp essay? </p>
