<p>So Princeton allows you to either fill out their application or the Common App with their supplement. I've heard they like to see THEIR app filled out more than the common with their supplement. Is it true??</p>
<p>Princeton seeks to enroll the most accomplished and impressive students who apply. It has no incentive to favor one application over the other. Further, schools which accept the Common App must sign an agreement to give the Common App equal weight.</p>

<p>it doesn't matter which one -- pick the one that will suit you better in terms of what you can write / essay prompts / space. I used the common app and got in.</p>
<p>I second annabell.</p>
<p>...so this seems like a useless post, but I got in with commonapp too, so it's not like it's rare or anything.</p>
<p>And....I think this is at least the 4th time I've read a thread about this topic.</p>
