<p>I’ll be working on other supplements this weekend because after Monday I’ll be too depressed to write…</p>
<p>Did the rest of you guys get an email from Princeton this afternoon about how to find our decisions?</p>
<p>Yes I have received this email. </p>
<p>Please be advised that due to the large number of students we anticipate visiting the Application Tracking System site, the registration system will be unavailable from 2 to 3:30 p.m. EST on Dec. 16.</p>
<p>I got the email. At this point this whole situation is like Schrödinger’s cat, because we don’t know if we got in or not(alive or dead), we just know that it is what it is at this point. Anyone else feel me?</p>
<p>@gpsailor3: I was just thinking about that today. Our fate has been decided, but we have no clue. The Schrödinger’s cat reference was pretty good!</p>
<p>@biovball I did the same thing (I actually basically just used my Executive summary from Siemens)</p>
<p>can ever concentrate on other supplements</p>
<p>@KeDIX1414 thanks, I like it too. It also takes a people a few seconds or an explanation to get the reference when I say something… But here I knew there would be some similar minded people to get my nerdy reference</p>
<p>I’ve moved on in my mind past Princeton. I am now in the midst of my regular decision apps, which I’m very excited about.</p>
<p>@stanfordWannabee I’m thinking I’ll do a more general summary of my research. I’ve never entered any major science fair competitions, so if you don’t mind me asking, did your Executive Summary include actual quantitative data/ figures and graphs, etc. or is it purely an explanation of what your project is and why it matters? Thank you.</p>
<p>I just explained its applications, brief background, results, and discussion without any specific data</p>
<p>@biovball Thanks!</p>
<p>Guys, what does your application tracker now read? Mine says your application is received. It also has something that says checklist info will be updated on this this date. Is that what is at your end as well?</p>
<p>Mine says something about the checklist information being currently unavailable.</p>
<p>Hi, guys! I was wondering how important legacy status is in the decision process.</p>
<p>Last year:
Regular Decision Acceptance 7%
Legacy Acceptance 12%
SCEA Acceptance 18% ( includes athletes and legacy)</p>
<p>Harvard’s acceptance rate jumped to 21 percent. Maybe Princeton’s will go up as well.</p>
<p>@Carl</p>
<p>According to the letter the admissions office sent my dad, approximately 30 percent of legacy applicants are admitted compared with an 8 percent overall acceptance rate.</p>
<p>Not a Princeton SCEAer, though I was lurking and can give my two cents to give on the legacy question. I also don’t have any statistics or anything, but I’ve heard people say that the higher acceptance rate of legacies is in part just because they’re an exceptionally strong pool of applicants. Someone on CC once said that the acceptance rate of legacies was about the same across HYP (as in, Princeton legacies were accepted at the same rate–a significantly higher rate than the average acceptance rate–as they were at Harvard).</p>
<p>30% sounds great. I hope you get in sparkle! Both my parents went to University of Pennsylvania, so maybe it would have been easier for me if I had applied there early.</p>
