Princeton University Class of 2023 SCEA Applicants Thread

Any progress report requests now that it’s December?

Is there a way to find out if progress report requests were made? Other than counselor informing us? I mean from common app or princeton status portal?

@xyzalpha No, I don’t believe so. From my research, I’ve concluded that the request is purely an interaction between Princeton admissions and the applicant’s counselor. At least at my school, however, the counselors let the students know before sending out progress reports.

does anyone know if these progress reports are serious indicators? or do they not mean anything. I was under the assumption that if they do not ask, they have already made a negative decision on your application, and if they do, the AOs are debating whether or not to accept/defer you.

I find it odd that this thread only has 10 pages, while Harvard and Yale’s EA threads have 50+. I’m just ready for decisions to come out next week (hopefully).

Or the request for progress reports could mean you are on the bubble of not getting accepted…could be either!

I was accepted through National College Match yesterday! See y’all on campus!

@jordanheston Congrats!!! It must be such a huge relief. What are you planning to major in?

There is a thread on here that talks about progress reports. It seems that there is no consensus on whether or not colleges asking for your progress report is a good sign.

Does Princeton send physical decision letters before, on the day of, or after releasing decisions on the online portal? I would assume the latter, but I just wanted to double check :slight_smile:

I think it’s after releasing decisions on the portal, but I am not 100% sure.

I’m pretty sure they mail the decisions the same day they’re available on the portal…which obviously means you’ll see them first online before you get the mail. At least that’s what the Office of Communications said last year in their article “Princeton offers early action admission to 799 students for Class of 2022.”

Anyways, we should all probably know by next Friday hopefully!

How’s everyone feeling about their chances lol. probably freaking out too early but next friday seems so soon.

Definitely freaking out. I heard from my friend it’s supposed to come out on the 7th (??) but I have no idea where she got that information. Hopefully good results for thread users though!

@Ste11arstar is that when we get an email about when the decisions are released or is that the decision date

Some east coast (or west coast) person wanna volunteer to call them and ask them when they are releasing results? I would but I’m always at school until after 5 pm ET, which is when their office closes.

no idea lol about the decision date

@Ste11arstar Maybe you got it confused with Stanford? I think Princeton will release decisions either next Wednesday or Thursday. :slight_smile:

Don’t think my counselor got any call yet from the admissions office, which only adds to my stress. Good luck to everyone! I think also the decisions come out sometime next week.
