Princeton Class of 2018 RD Discussion Thread

<p>This is my first post ever! My son has applied to Princeton RD. About 2 weeks ago Princeton emailed his school counselor and copied my son in the email. They requested his AP test scores. Has anyone else had this happen? Do they do this for everyone? My son is so cool and calm about this whole college thing. I’m on pins and needles. </p>

I like your username. Hope it will come true.
Did your son self-report his AP score on the CA app?</p>

<p>@Ivymom2be
Haha that must be so exciting!!! and no, that hasn’t happened to me because I take IB classes and I won’t be taking IB tests until May. </p>

<p>No, I don’t think so. He faxed them to Princeton that same day. </p>

It could be a good sign. They are “considering” your son and probably moved to the next round or to the committee. I’m speculating here. They noted that he took some AP classes, yet no AP scores reported. Most kids self report their AP scores on CA app. Good luck to your son on Thursday.</p>

<p>They asked for previous years results. His AP exams for this year aren’t until May. </p>

<p>One more comment and I will shut up…I’ve really enjoyed listening to everyone’s comments on here. I wish everyone good luck and no matter where you end up just remember that applying to these elite schools is an incredible testimony to your outstanding academic achievements. Keep those heads held high. </p>

<p>The same thing happened to me (requesting AP scores). I don’t remember reporting mine on the common app though, so that may be why.</p>

<p>I just realized that no matter what happens with the Ivies on Thursday, I still have to get up at 6:30 and go to work the next day. Life really just goes on, doesn’t it. :P</p>

<p>^ totally. Whether you get into an ivy or not, you have to believe that you are destined for great things :slight_smile: Not getting into an ivy doesn’t change that, yes?</p>

<p>31 hours and counting… amirite?</p>

<p>The decision will be released at 5 AM in my timezone. So I’ll just sleep and wake up to see the result (doubt if i will be able to sleep at all). </p>

<p>@alternativana wow me too…I don’t think I will be able to sleep after 5 :frowning: </p>

<p>It’s 3 PM for me. At least it’s near the end of the day. </p>

<p>S’getit</p>

<p>How do you know what time it will be?</p>

<p>All the Ivies release at 5pm EDT.</p>

<p>nvm i just looked at the email</p>

<p>Am I the only person who is going to be staring at the Princeton portal for an hour before having the courage to open it?</p>

<p>Probably!!</p>
