Princeton Journalism Program for High School Students

Hey guys! Sorry I never answered and told y’all what they asked oops lol. Hopefully we will all get in. I haven’t received a decision yet, and I am pretty sure my interview was a train wreck. Who knows

@astrocosmos1 I interviewed on April 30 and he’d already done it by the time I asked him about it the following Wednesday (May 3?). I don’t know the actual date, but it can’t have been the 22nd because we talked about it around April 25-ish and neither of us had done it yet. I’m actually fairly sure his was after mine, so I don’t think it’s going by interview dates.
Some programs cull the obvious rejects first, while others notify the obviously accepted first. For my other summer program, they said I’d hear from them in a week and I got my acceptance letter four days later. I think PUSJP is doing the opposite- getting the rejections out of the way first and then deliberating who they’re going to accept- so it’s probably a good sign that we’re all still waiting. I hope.

I’ll get back to you guys when I get my decision, but I do wish the best for you all! I have a good feeling that this Monday will be the day they notify the majority of us. :slight_smile:

LOLLLL the result came out :frowning: I didn’t get in but oh well I was expecting it

Ahhh I just got mine and didn’t get in. I was expecting it because I had to kind of justify why this program would be beneficial for me. They kept talking about how, usually, the kids that get in have never been on college campuses before and have never experienced that kind of environment, but I have multiple times.They would ask me things like “do you think you would even benefit from this program” Oh well! It was nice while it lasted. Good luck and congrats to everyone else! We all did very well. Also, another girl at my school applied (Dallas, TX) and she got in. She has never done any pre-college programs or college related summer activities. I don’t feel bad because she needed it more than I did, and the admissions people probably saw that.

Has anyone received their response?
