Princeton University Class of 2022 SCEA Applicants Thread

Don’t know whether or not I should check in class…

PRESS RELEASE: https://www.princeton.edu/news/2017/12/13/princeton-offers-early-action-admission-799-students-class-2022

Princeton accepted 799 students out of 5,402 applicants in the early round this year, equaling a 14.7% acceptance rate. This is a decrease from last year’s rate of 15.4%. Last year, Princeton accepted 770 students from 5,003 applicants. Thus, the applicant pool increased by roughly 8%.

“14.7%”

I’m an international student, so now I think I’m doomed :frowning:

@operasingerjv why in quotes? And the actual amount is 14.79%, so with rounding it is 14.8%. Even though that change is small, the extra tenth of a percent is equivalent to 5 extra people!

Power move: checking your result during class on the projector. Thoughts?

If it’s anything, more countries are represented now than last year, and the percentage of international students stayed the same. @smmonsa

@mediokra I’m commenting on how sadly small it is lol

21% for engineering. ouch

it’s about 30 more students than last year though!

@orgooo right but out of 400 more applicants

Why is this thread a lot less active than other EA threads? :-?

14.7% love the decreasing chances each year

@operasingerjv oh, lol true.

@clessley123 like the others, how did you see your decision already?

Yeah mine is not up yet

Almost 1 hour left… :((

I keep refreshing to see new posts in class, but it seems we’re a quiet bunch

@roboticsismylife LOL I know. Harvard’s thread yesterday was more chatty.

hahaha same @roboticsismylife
