Just out of curiosity, for those receiving calls about Q1 grades, do you happen to have valedictorian/salutatorian status as far as class rank goes?
@riazuluaga14 There are a lot of great schools on your list. If even one says yes, you will get an excellent education. Please keep us posted.
@James1101 Yes, Iām projected to be Val for my school.
And thanks! Good luck to you too! Which schools are you applying to?
Do you think I should email my counselor to send my Q1 grades early this upcoming week (before the 12th) or would it not change the decision that Princeton has likely already made?
FWIW, Iām currently ranked #1 in my class and projected to be Val, but Val/Sal isnāt named at my school until late into the spring.
My school only reports semester grades, not quarterly grades. Does this explain why they havenāt called about first quarter grades? You guys are making it sound like if they didnāt call about Q1 grades then we have no chance.
@AllSpill No, donāt think that! I think it might just be another requirement, or to confirm a trend about your grades. My school is the exact same way; they report only semester grades, yet my counselor received a call about my Q1 grades. I think it also may be a little randomized. Donāt give up hope. Remember, correlation does not equal causation!
My counselor does not officially send 1st quarter grades, and they ask each student if they would feel comfortable with sending unofficial grades need be. Further, Princeton does not require 1Q grades to be sent out, as their website says that it would be appreciated to be sent once available. I also do not believe that not being asked to send 1Q grades means you are rejected/waitlisted, but rather that they just donāt need any more information from you regardless of admission status.
Just read somewhereā¦Princeton defers almost 79 % of its early applicants !!
Good luck everyone
@maddy09 Hey, thereās still a chance. Good luck to everyone!
Good luck to everyone! Last week, I was so confident I wouldnāt be stressed on Decision Day (told myself, whatever happens, Iāll be happy). Now, Iām super stressed lol :neutral:
@spinCaster15 lol weāll all be fine! Good luck everyone!
(btw, Iām super stressed too)
No matter where we end up, it will all work out. Good luck everyone!
@James1101 thatās true. Good luck! Keep up the positive energy!
Has anyone else received a āTentative Financial Aid Decisionā I received one via email yesterday and was wondering if anyone else has. Does this mean Iām admitted? Iāve already received a likely in October.
@mugshot109 I would say you are in. Wow! I did not receive either.
Did your portal change at all?
Hope to be able to congratulate you officially on the 12th!
@James1101 Hopefully! My portal updated in October when I first received my likely. The financial aid was just an email with a pdf attatched.
What kind of likely letter (which sport)?
@mugshot109 Congrats! What did you get the likely letter for(sport)?
I think at least one of us is going to Princeton! Great job @mugshot109 ! FWIW: was financial aid decent? Did it come close to your EFC from the FAFSA?
