Yes, Princeton has been great. We had a question and contacted admissions directly. They replied the day after!

I had the same experience! We had a question about a supplemental material and admission director emailed us on the weekend . We were very impressed .

My D was contacted by admissions a couple of weeks back and said someone will get in touch for an interview in a few weeks. Still waitingā€¦here in the NW.

Does anyone has mid year report showing in their application check list? We do not have it in our check list though commonApp shows it is downloaded.

I do not have anything showing in my check list but I also see it is downloaded in Common App. They must not show it as not every school does Mid Year Grades.

Princeton downloaded mid-year grades on 1-14 for my daughter however, she told me it is not indicated on her portal.
She said that there was a statement on there anything sent later may not be indicated.
Her portal states that her application is complete. I imagine they will request it if it is not completed.

Any updates from applicants? Any likely letters?

They only send likely letters to recruited athletes. Other than that Iā€™ve heard nothing. Weā€™re in the calm before the storm.

Question for all of you!

My DD22 portal does not show the mid-year grade report however, it was downloaded by Princeton on 1-14-22.
The portal is evasive about what information it will show. It also says her application is complete, but this is causing her a bit of anxiety.

Does anyone show that the mid-year reports were received?

True, the site does not list the mid year report. How did your daughter find out that it was downloaded by Princeton?

It was in the school counselor portal on the common application that it was downloaded on 1-14-22 by Princeton.

It just takes the counselor to log in and pick the student then go to the school. It lists all the documents that the school received and downloaded.

You can also check your student CommonApp. Go to Princeton University, Recommenders and FERPA, Counselor.

There are no merit awards, but Princeton is a ā€œmeets needsā€ school, and they do it without loans. We were pleased that they were only slightly more expensive for us than our flagship state school. (Our elder daughter is a junior there.) And one student we know attends for free, with stipends for trips home and a computer.

Good luck!

My daughter is happy with UM, but we are all still waiting for some Ivy decisions. UM had a good Fin Aid package for us that included the freshman $5500, but we are wondering what Ivy Fin Aid looks like.
You say without loansā€¦ that has my attentionā€¦
