I think that, besides the effect this will have on the rd admission rate, Princeton will be able to generate a super close knit class of 2025 since everyone will be joining the community at the same time and under the same circumstances.

I feel like here were not competing with 57k other students and maybe a more general number of 30k which well is still a big pool but more normal and less inflated so yay.

what do you mean?
Also, all of us applying will be advantaged by this situation. I guess that some applicants withdraw their Princeton application after committing to their EDII school, so there’s that. In addition, Princeton only saw a 17% increase in their applications this year. This, compared to the other Ivies, is not that high.

Does everybody’s IDOC show requests by Princeton for FA info?
In regards to how large the incoming classes are and how many applied, what are we thinking the acceptance rate would be?
Oh and is Princeton still grade deflated? Heard that the policy was reinstated but didn’t know like if that’s still a thing.
This senior class should be proud of themselves for putting themselves into an unprecedented college application pool coupled with many of you still being in distance learning for over a year. The resilience of this class continues to impress me. Regardless of what schools “accept” you, be proud of the grit you all have shown this year. No doubt this class will help change the world for the better.

There’s no way of knowing, in part because we don’t know how the process will be affected by the 140 students who were accepted to the class of 2024 but who took a gap year last year and will joining the class of 2025. But here’s one possible scenario: If the university is keeping the class size constant, then it will admit about 200 fewer students this year (to account for those 140 students and a yield of about 70%). In that case, the university will admit about 1620 students in this admission cycle; given that about 37,000 applied, that translates to an admission rate of about 4.4%.
Of course, there are other factors that come into play – e.g., will the university rely on its waitlist to a greater extent than usual? – so even if the constant-class-size assumption is correct, the 4.4% figure is only a very rough estimate.

Ahh. It must have been on the CCS profile. anyone have requests there/
Princeton does not use the CSS either. They have their own FA application.
Their code was listed on one of those as requesting more so not sure what’s up with that.
