Princeton Early Action Class of 2024

My son faced a similar situation last year when he applied; he appended (typed in) his teacher’s comments to his graded paper under a heading of “Teacher’s Comments (copied from document)”, and then submitted it as a single pdf document.

Anyone know if it matters when you submit as long as its before the deadline? I see so many people have submitted already but I haven’t because I’m still finalizing some things. I don’t think they look at the apps until Nov 1st, but I’m just nervous it might have some weight.

Submitting ahead of the Nov 1 deadline is not going to change an applicant’s chance of being admitted. Do submit before 11:59 pm on November 1.

Hi! I’m applying to Princeton SCEA too!

@sciencegirl2024 your stats are awesome! Best of luck, and I hope I see you at Princeton in the fall!

Today’s the day! Is everyone ready? Has everyone submitted their app? I’ve personally been checking the applicant portal for Princeton like twenty-something million times just in case I see I’m missing something… ahhh I’m kind of paranoid… Best of luck to all of us! I hope we get into the school of our dreams!

Best wishes to all the SCEA applicants for this year!

My D submitted the main Princeton College application on time but forgot to hit the submit button on supplementals. She did that today. She has reached out to the college but concerned that her application will not qualify for SCEA. Does anyone have experience with inadvertent delays like this?

Does anyone know when EA decisions come out? Or at least around what dates? :slight_smile: Good luck to all

Based on previous years, on or around December 12th-13th. Good luck!

How do you check your applicant portal?

You should have gotten an email a few days after submitting your app.

Also, I just got an interview!! Has anyone else gotten an interview with a Princeton alumnus?

@riazuluaga14,
When did you apply?

@hebegebe I submitted my common app September 17, and I finished my full app October 7th.

Yes they told me who my interviewer would be and said they’d reach out

@benandjerrys101 Cool! I’m kinda nervous, but also excited. Best of luck to the both of us!

Yes! I got an email this morning about my interviewer’s contact information.

@jea345 That’s so exciting! My interviewer is a law professor at my local university that worked at Stanford and graduated from Princeton with high honors… ahhh!!

@riazuluaga14 Wow! How did you find that out?
