***PRINCETON UNIVERSITY R.D. DISCUSSION CLASS OF 2019***

For SCEA, the website switched from telling date and time of release to the queue and login exactly at the time it said it would. So I would expect the same this time around. Best of luck to everyone!!

Deferred through Questbridge, deferred SCEA, and now hopefully third time’s the charm:)

Praying that there’s some Tina Fey on the committee who thinks she’s my long lost mother and owes me an acceptance…

^ I watch that movie every night before I go to bed to make it a reality :slight_smile:

@cvisser96 ahha I was there when they were filming the movie at Princeton

@sanghyunp2004 No you were not! Omg seriously?!

Tina Fey is God(dess)! Has anyone else read Bossy Pants?

@cvisser96‌ I love Bossy Pants! So funny!

@cvisser96 It was so cool! It was the summer before sophomore year so 2012. I got to shake her hand by nassau hall ahha.

Good luck to everyone! Less than a day to go!

@sanghyunp2004‌ well it sounds like you’ve already won at life no matter your decision then

That’s for sure @cotwoag1 and @sanghyunp2004 jealous beyond belief.

Good luck everyone, hope to see some of you on campus next year. :slight_smile:

^^ An interesting read ^^

I heard princeton and columbia send admitt letters so that they arrive on DDAY is that true?

Really!?!? I doubt it to be honest. Usually they want you to find out online first

Columbia said in it’s email tha
T they will only send decisions electronically to save paper.

If accepted, will the financial aid decision be in the portal?

What’s the likelihood of me getting in, if someone from my school was accepted SCEA? My school isn’t known for sending people to top schools. A few go the the flagship state school every year, and most go to smaller, lesser known state schools.

@CSGoddess I had 4 people get in SCEA from my public high school.
Extremely uncommon. Though I have more awards than 3 and a higher GPA than 2 of them, and differing interests, I fear they will have judged me because they already have 4 from my school. >_<

Does anyone know the rate of SCEA deferrals who are admitted? I would cry if I got into Princeton lol

@jacobson123 Letters are mailed on decision day. You should receive yours in a few days.

@CSGoddess @cvisser96 while the process involved in admission decisions seems vague, I doubt they are working on any type of ‘soft quotas’ for schools (lower/upper maximum admits). It seems more likely that Princeton is looking for the best candidates overall regardless of where they come from.

@Cotopaxide To my knowledge Princeton does not publish this information so any response you receive on CC will be conjecture

To all of you waiting on decisions, GOOD LUCK!!! And remember that if you are the kind of person who has a strong enough application to be a viable consideration for admission to Princeton and other very selective schools, you are going to do great things wherever you land. An acceptance, decline or deferral isn’t who you are!
