Princeton RD 2020 thread

Just wrapped up my application today. This is a college that wasn’t on my radar until I read the mail, so I guess there truly is a reason for them sending them out. I wish the best of luck to my rivals/fellow students!

@201698 Without the entire context, I see a variety of ways you could implement it, as long as you reach near the word count without it and sufficiently tie it in. Perhaps the problem might be in formatting but I am unsure how your poem is structured.
It’s not at all a bad idea, and best of fortunes in your essay!

Let’s make this thread lit

The deadline is actually really close… not sure why that just hit me today.

I know and I haven’t even started the supplement yet. Im such a procrastinator.

I woke up this morning, and I felt like I had been hit with a brick
That brick was the realization that we have 10 days

I’m applying RD! I don’t think I have a shot at all though, lol. My subject tests are garbage. But we shall see

I’m applying but I’m not sure how I stack up against everyone here. I sent in my application a week ago so we’ll see in about three months :slight_smile:

Hey! Another RD applicant here.

Quick question - if I’m adding links to my research papers in the additional info, should I still upload them in the space provided to upload documents on the supplement?

@anotherdude idk but I just put mine in the additional info section

hi guys! for the supplement about what you did for the past two summers did you guys just blatantly state what you did or did you elaborate?

I elaborated @969028

A few friends who are currently freshmen at Princeton told me that it doesn’t really make any difference. Elaborate it if you can, but listing stuff is fine too

It doesn’t really matter. My son just listed his activities and it was fine.

thanks! also I know princeton recommends to self report all AP scores but i have two 5s, two 4s, and two 3s, one of the 3s in studio art which is something i want to pursue. ive heard many things: that APs are given little to no consideration in admissions, or that APs are highly predictive of college success. in general, as well as for other schools ill be applying to, should i self-report all of my scores? i think if i report one I should report all as not doing so will probably lead them to think i didn’t take the test or i scored a 1 or 2…but these 3s lol

also i listed AP scholar with distinction in my honors so would i have to self report the scores? since princeton recommends it ill probably be more inclined to do it, but what about other colleges?

If you dont report theyll think its a one, so I would put it down especially since its a 3

Just sent away my application! From Northern Ireland so my chances are very slim, but I guess it’s worth a shot

Does Princeton have a portal? I only got an email from them stating that my app is complete, with no mention of a portal
