We haven’t heard anything back yet. Do you guys know usually what kind of applicants are on the WL? Athletes, Super smart straight As, or leadership students? Will Princeton take off applicants according to their needs? If they want athletes, coaches already got them in early and regular rounds already, am I right?

Do you guys have other offers? Did you guys commit and pay deposits?

Committed to Emory w a full tuition scholarship… if I get off the waitlist I don’t know what I’m gonna doooooo😫

Will Princeton provide you with any scholarship? If not, what’s the point of getting off the WL

I think it is a subjective choice at that point. It also depends on the student and the fit. I think the CMU program is more structured than the Princeton program. The floor of the program at CMU is likely higher than the floor of the program at Princeton. For a motivated self driven student I think the ceiling of what you can do at Princeton is likely higher than what you can do at CMU as an undergrad, in several areas (not all), partly because the lack of structure gives you more room. One expects a student of the caliber to have gotten into both schools to have done the diligence to figure out which of them is a better fit for them. And probably CMU is a better fit for them.

If they don’t need the funding, and one could make the case that perhaps P offers more opportunities than E in some areas, then …

I did commit (wanna be in college next year lol) to UC Berkeley, and I’m pursuing eight other waitlists, but yeah. Athletes should already be in, but they admit from the waitlist (if they have space) to fill in any gaps they see in the enrolled class, so it can be quite subjective.

I commit to another Ivy as well. Waiting to get off the WL at P.

Anyone heard anything?

No, nothing yet

For all those that got in, this might be of interest: Senior Survey 2022
There are various parts to the survey – you can browse around using categories of questions from the top right.

Hi Jackie,

Could you share a screen shot of that email? It seems like you got it today but I checked the email box and didn’t see it.

Thank you.

I also received the same email
