<p>I got invited to something called FSI. I was wondering what this was and if it was worthwhile.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>FSI is a summer program for incoming freshman who's high schools might not have adequately prepared them for the challenging Princeton workload. I know a few people who did FSI and all had positive experiences. I can't find any information about it on the web, so your best bet is to contact FSI and ask them to put you in touch with a past participant.</p>
<p>who get's invited to this? Everyone?</p>
<p>Just people who haven't taken some courses that one might need in college. It's basically a summer remedial/catch-up semester; like, if you didn't learn all of pre-calculus and trig during your high school career, you'd be learning that there.</p>
<p>Ohhh. Okay. Cool. Thanks.</p>
<p>why would princeton accept someone who needs FSI and then offer them FSI?</p>
<p>Man, I checked for posts about FSI and couldn’t find any! I should’ve looked better before posting mine.</p>
<p>Invitees to FSI are usually either 1) from disadvantaged schools/backgrounds, 2) varsity athletes, or 3) URMs.</p>
