Previously, I wasn’t redirected but I checked today and I’m also redirected to bridge year. I don’t think it means anything since all of us got it and also I doubt they’d make a mistake like that.
@realityhitshard I am not getting redirected to bridge year… I’m getting redirected to an admitted students page (http://path.princeton.edu/admitted)
Ok, my kids just does what it used to do. So, not sure but I would see getting redirected to an admitted students pages as a good sign. Horrible glitch otherwise. Fingers crossed for you!
My portal is back to normal now.
Anyone get a call today or contact Admissions ?
Looks like they took a break this week or gave the admitted students an extra week to decide.
Has anyone called the office and asked about the glitch?
just to add my two cents, my portal redirects me to the bridge program page
now I’m getting redirected to the admitted students thing
This is probably just a glitch. I wouldn’t get my hopes up about it.
It’s probably a glitch, but it’s odd some aren’t being redirected to the admitted students page and others are. I emailed tech support for the applicant portal and they asked what URL I was using to access the portal. By the time I responded it was after hours on Friday so I won’t get a response until Monday (I assume). I’ll let you know when I hear back.
Being optimistic for you. My kid’s portal did not change - not even a glitch (admitted or bridge), so I view those whose did as positive. Maybe they were updating the portal to reflect the next wave of admits? Best of luck!
my portal keeps switching back and forth from admitted to bridge so I say meaningless glitch??
FYI If I use the link for the portal found towards the bottom of this page thenI get the old (unchanged) applicant status info. https://admission.princeton.edu/how-apply/application-checklist
However , if I use my bookmarked portal URL , that is when I get the redirects to "admitted student page or “gap year info”
what’s your bookmarked URL
I think it is this one:
FWIW, Princeton launched a new homepage on May 18th, so I imagine there are more than a few glitches with different links.
If you use the link @Surpriseme12345 posted, anybody who logs in will see the admitted page. Sorry guys.
I really do (like, 100%) think it’s a glitch but no matter what link I use it redirects me. Tech support said to clear browser / cookies but it’s still going to that same admitted students page. But again, from what tech support said it’s safe to say it is just a glitch.
@Swillow1022 Well it could be a good sign too… you never know. Best of luck, I will be very happy for you / my fellow CCers to get off the waitlist
