Princeton University Class of 2016 RD applicants

<p>So the EA results are out. Time for us RDers to worry and speculate.
I would like to begin with-
1. How are your apps?
2. Is Princeton your first choice?
3. How much have you worked on your essays? Mine suck :(</p>

<ol>
<li>My app to Princeton was decent. Straightforward, nothing too fancy.</li>
<li>I would definitely go to Princeton because of their good fin aid and prestige if I got in. Realistically, I have another top school that I am viewing as my top choice.</li>
<li>I worked on them for 4-5 hours. They were okay.</li>
</ol>

<ol>
<li>It was cute and quirky! I tend to like to give my own sparkle to things ;)</li>
<li>I’m not entirely sure! I love the campus and the programs and the senior thesis, but in the end, I won’t get my heart set on any college until after I’ve heard back from all of my options! However, if I get in, I would feel obligated to honor that miracle!</li>
<li>I worked really hard on them, I think they were pretty good and really went along with the rest of my app! My philosophy is really go big, or go home and I represented myself as such.</li>
</ol>

<p>I think all and all, even if I’m not accepted, they will get a very good laugh out of my application! :)</p>

<ol>
<li>App was fine, liked the hodge-podge section, I wish the essay would have given us more creative license to write about whatever we wanted, instead of prompting us to talk about when our values changed</li>
<li>Meh. </li>
<li>Somewhat polished (but it was the first essay I wrote for colleges aside from the commonapp, so my subsequent essays for others were better), wish I chose a different experience</li>
</ol>
