<p>Well, 2000 is not as bad as I thought. I knew that early apps would rise, because they were so low last year, and Pton's using common app this year. From my school alone, 12 people are applying early this year to Pton (compared to 2 last year).</p>
<p>that article totally made my day. :)</p>
<p>how did that article make your day?</p>
<p>Not the huge number of applicants we feared and---even better---Rapelye isn't cutting down on Princeton's high %age of ED class fillings.</p>
<p>yeah. exactly..</p>
<p>It's still not good news, unless the new applicants are all idiots. Good news would have been a drop in ED applicants OR something along the lines of a doubling of first year enrollment :) .</p>
<p>It's neutral news, and for me, that makes it good news since neutral news is so much better than bad news. A 29%-30% acceptance rate ED is darned good, if you ask me. I was fearing it would drop to the 25% range. Based on the article, I think this round they'll accept 590-600 students.</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm thinking they'll be hitting at near the 600 mark. A 30% rate is not shabby at all.</p>
<p>That's nice.</p>
<p>(Okay, I'm a member now, but I didn't do too much of ^this :p)</p>
<p>::sighs and wishes he had not put off his Princeton essays till the last minute::</p>
<p>I think even 25% is good, so 30% sounds great to me =)
Just compare it to Yale massacre last year or regular admit rates!</p>
<p>maybe they will.... accept 100% of the class!</p>
<p>::dreams of such beautiful events::</p>
<p>even if they accept 100% early, there will still be 700 people rejected. That would be kind of funny though :p</p>
<p>that would rock :D</p>
<p>On CNN December 15th
Princeton (New Jersey): Princeton University has just announced they have accepted the entire ED applicant pool for the class of 2005. They will not accept any applications through the regular decision process. Sorry, sucks for you. :-D</p>
<p>whooo!</p>
<p>"Sorry, sucks for you"
lol, but you're assuming that we're among the 1300 accepted.</p>
<p>well of course. we all rock on CC. we must be guaranteed acceptance! we are obsessed! i mean if ive made 650 posts concerning my love for pton i think i should get in! :p</p>
<p>lol then I should get in like three times over, with the number of posts I have :D</p>
<p>i'm happy.. numbers of ED apps didnt go crazy high. good news.</p>
<p>i think they will prob go over 50% of class this time ed. and rd for pton is next to impossible this year since all the common app, online app and stuff. :(</p>
<p>so basically, it would suck to be defered</p>
