Princeton SCEA Hopefuls 2018

<p>^almost. Princeton only denied 49 applicants. I believe 3,042 were deferred out of the approximately 3800 that applied SCEA.</p>

<p>that’s pretty ridiculous. do they know that we were deferred when they review our apps again for RD?</p>

<p>My RD list is Harvard, Dartmouth, Tufts, Williams, Connecticut College, Union College, and Western New England University. Harvard extended me an interview today!</p>

<p>@ realiced: I had the same question! I hope that the answer is yes, but my guess is that they probably do not know who originally applied SCEA.</p>

<p>

They know it, and I expect that will give you an edge over RD applicants.</p>

<p>Cool resource here for anyone who wants current answers from current students about Princeton life!</p>

<p>Got an email from the princeton admissions office informing me of my interviewer. It says “Please expect to be contacted by XXXX XXXXXXXr (<a href="mailto:XXXXXXX@XXXXXXXX.com”>XXXXXXX@XXXXXXXX.com</a>), a member of the Princeton interview committee in your area, to arrange a convenient meeting time and place." This was emailed to me 3 days ago. Do they expect me to directly email this person since an email was provided? Or should I wait to be contacted by him before to not seem annoying and overeager? Not sure…Suggestions?</p>

<p>@SpoolMan I would wait for them to contact you!</p>

<p>Is the waiting killing anyone else? Deferral is really painful /:</p>

<p>It sure is…this was my top school.</p>

<p>It definitely stinks, but I am looking into other schools now. The sad thing is that I would have preferred a flat out rejection to a deferral. I just want some closure. So if you guys are accepted in March, will you definitely go to Princeton or has being deferred affected your feelings about Princeton?</p>

<p>I would still go. I was really disappointed about the deferral, but I don’t have anything against Princeton for deferring me. A lot of it comes down to chance. I would still be happy to attend if I got accepted, but I know I have lots of other options. Getting into UVA took a load off my shoulders.</p>

<p>Yale just released their RD decision time. Any word from Princeton?</p>

<p>Where did they release it?</p>

<p>I believe Yale announced via email (that’s what they did for EA). I’m not sure though, it was on CC.</p>

<p>I read somewhere that all the ivies will post their decisions at the same time - 5pm ET on March 27.</p>

<p>Ok so to those who have been deferred, did you guys take any further actions? What percentage of deferred applicants does Princeton typically accept? I couldn’t find the stats anywhere. </p>

<p>@Happyppah: the consensus seems to be that deferred students are admitted at about the same rate as the RD pool which is about 4-5%.</p>

<p>March 27th seems so far and so close at the same time. I need to practice logging into the admissions portals for all the colleges I applied to to make sure my random passwords and usernames all work.</p>

<p>Princeton still hasn’t sent me admissions portal stuff. Where did you find this info?</p>

<p>I assume our old accounts from SCEA still work, but I could be wrong?</p>
