Princeton RD 2020 thread

On the CommonApp I wrote that I would apply for FA but then decided not to after sending off the application as my parents realised that we wouldn’t qualify for it and it wasn’t worth the $11. But do you guys think that admissions may see this as a lack of interest in Princeton?

Also, for anyone interested:

Wesleyan - accepted
JHU - accepted
UChicago - accepted
Duke - accepted
Yale SCEA - deferred
Brown - ?
Tufts - ?
Columbia - ?
Princeton - ?

Rejected: Caltech, MIT, Georgia Tech, UC Berkeley, Stanford

Accepted: UCLA, Purdue, Cal Poly SLO

Waiting on Cornell and Princeton

As one might tell, I have no hope for the Ivy Leagues. Such is life in the hardest application season in history.

As for @Goober9 attempting to get some already statistically unsound percentages out of this, I would suggest eliminating International students from your considerations, as they are statistical noise.

Hmm…interesting…
