Can we post our writing supplements?
MODERATOR’S NOTE:
Youcan, but I don’t recommend it. Note that per ToS, we do not delete posts on requests, so don’t post anything that you might regret later.
It’s never advisable to post any of your essays on-line, as it only invites plagiarism for future years. For example, if you posted your writing supplement here, someone applying next year could steal an idea, a sentence, a paragraph or even the entire essay. As much as you’d like to share your wonderful essay, I would advise against it.
Starting this off as I haven’t seen a dedicated thread for Princeton’s class of 2023 RD applicant discussion!
Does Princeton track submission of mid year reports on the portal? I submitted a few weeks back and it says it was downloaded on the common app but it hasn’t shown up on the portal yet.
@NJMan222 it’s shown up on my portal and I submitted it a couple of weeks ago. You might want to email them
I just got an interview today for Princeton. Is the interview period still even open? Why are they contacting me this late?
If the interview period is still open then they probably contacted me late cuz there was no alumni in my area. Also the interview is supposed to be over Skype with someone who is a grad student
What date did they release decisions last year?
March 28th
@compSciLover my interview is 2/25 ? im worried its so late too!!
I have my interview tomorrow
I have 2 friends in my area who got Princeton interviews, but I have not got one yet. What does this mean?
i got an interview and did mine at the end of january
Interviews are designed to sell you on the school not the other way around. They have almost no influence UNLESS you are rude/obnoxious etc… The rule of thumb is “they can’t get you in but they can keep you out.” In fact many times the interviewer will ask YOU what you want them to report back to the school. Don’t sweat it if you didn’t get an interview…you (or anybody else for that matter) aren’t likely getting in anyway.
Is the interview optional?
Yes, but it reflects badly on you if you decline an interview offer
this thread is sooo quiet
