<p>I'm applying RD to Princeton. Although I am a legacy and have decent stats, I'm doubtful that I'll get in. Coming from Northern NJ and applying to ANY competitive school is hard enough, let alone Princeton.</p>
<p>Fellow Princeton RD-er here! I would have applied ED but I wanted to try to raise the test scores...didn't end up happening..but oh well. Good Luck to All of you!</p>
<p>another Pt RD..... I almost applied ED but my counselor talked me out of it for financial reasons (I'm international, living in US), which is legitimate I guess so I'm not complaining. Also I wanted to raise my scores a little and work on my essays more.</p>
<p>Is there anyone from the Midwest here ?</p>
<p>I'm in the midwest :)</p>
<p>lilian, I think I read in the Princeton viewbook not long ago that they were need-blind for internationals as well!</p>
<p>Yeah, I read through the financial aid policies for all the schools very carefully ;) One of the problem is that we are poorer than we seem so I'd have to figure out of a way to make up for the expected financial contributions. Also, my counselor insisted that I was mis-informed about their policy because it sounded too good to be true :p.... but I guess I need the extra time for essays, so RD works for me well enough.</p>
<p>Ah, now I understand your situation a bit better.</p>
<p>Where in the Midwest are ya?</p>
<p>lol... hmm, I better not say... My interviewer said that there are generally 7 or 8 people who apply from my state each year. Competition is intense and personal ;)</p>
<p>lol, 7 or 8? that's not very much.... I'm expecting over hundreds to apply from my state</p>
<p>yes... it was actually kind of encouraging since they've got to take 1 so they can say that they have students from all 50 states... unfortunately 1/8 is 12.5%, so it's no higher than the national average :P</p>
<p>My father was a professor at Princeton....He says it is corrupt and racist...He is now at Harvard and loving it.</p>
<p>whatever...should the rest of us start a RD roster?</p>
<p>I love the way this board is already heating up for RD...we "Princetonians" are certainly the CC social butterflies ;)
It looks like my addiction won't end with the ED notifications. =/</p>
<p>Yay! I hope it doesn't end, because that would be bayyy-d. <em>smacks wrist</em> I'm so ready for April to be here for all of you. The class needs to be completed pronto. Ole!</p>
<p>yeah, Princeton definitely has the most active board life</p>
<p>it's cute</p>
<p>it's sad how most of the other ivy boards have died down quite a bit since decisions came out :(</p>
<p>Yeah but the Princeton one is still going strong :)</p>
<p>I don't think i have a chance of getting in, but I feel like giving it a shot.</p>
<p>Yeah me too. It sure is fun trying :)</p>
<p>Everyone has a shot. Seriously. Apply because you may be pleasantly surprised! I don't think you'd regret it :)</p>
<p>Princeton is a distant dream...and one that I love following :)</p>
