Great! Princeton typically is one of the Ivies with solid financial aid so I guess you did get that good news today!

Congrats!! Would you mind sharing your stats?
Well you can say that again. They gave my student a very generous package. Even better than UVA in-state. And better than Duke, which was quite decent.

congratulations, that’s amazing!! <3 <3 would you mind sharing your stats/ecs? Only if you’re comfortable!
Harvard and Princeton are the two best in terms of financial aid for middle class students. My son’s top choice was Vanderbilt - they gave him no aid. He was sad. Then Harvard let him in the next day (he was in last year’s applicant pool) and covered his tuition. Yes, we are paying less than we would our state school!

I’m the mom so I’m not sure about all the stats, and my kid is downstairs jogging on the treadmill like a hamster in a wheel to burn off excitement/energy.
I can tell you when I read the app the other day, the Essays sold the app.

Any international student who got accepted?
Citizen living abroad who got accepted!!! With basically full FA!!! this doesn’t seem real omg. Also waitlisted from Columbia
Thanks for sharing-my daughter got rejected and heartbroken of course. She put much time into this application. I do have a question-I read lots of comments “strong essay”. I did not read her essays, and even if I did, my opinion of strong may not hold weight. I read lots of AO comments that they want to hear from the student and can tell when students are “overly coached” for essays. How do you determine a “strong essay”? Did your students have a teacher or mentor read the essays? (She has the opportunity for a few more schools and scholarships from accepted schools). Thanks for any feedback and congratulations to all who got accepted!
yeah, I’m from the UK and was accepted
what were your stats
