<p>I have always been crazy about getting into Princeton and Columbia...but junior year has found me second guessing myself a lot!! Its disappointing that ED is gone but im still nervous nevertheless. It's just so hard to get into and there is so much pressure with the SATs...SAT IIs...AP exams...GPAs ughhh/.I had a question...is a lack of leadership bad? I tried to get leadership positions but in our school...if your friends with the people on last years executive board...then your in- that kind of thing. Any advice?</p>
<p>For SAT II tests I'm taking US History and Math II. I took Bio last year (740- in retrospect, I should have cancelled the scores seeing as I was on 3 cold medicines at the time).</p>
<p>Sansam, that's pretty much how it goes in any high school. What are you involved in? Out of curiousity, why Princeton and Columbia? They're not very similar...</p>
<p>Hey everyone. Just joining this board. </p>
<p>I'm definitely applying to Princeton too. But you know, if i were a realist, I wouldn't even bother cause I know my chances of getting in are slim to none.</p>
<p>Hey, here I am adding my name to the list of prospective Tigers, rather than snatching ten extra minutes of sleep. But hey, it's Friday tomorrow. :)</p>
<p>Anyway. I'd like to make Princeton one of my top choices too; I say "I'd like to" because...well, I know this is about as trite as you can get, but I don't doubt that I'll end up adoring any of the schools I'm considering. If that made sense. Sorry, I <em>am</em> sleepy! The gist is, I'm waiting to visit (EXCITING!!) before I make my final list, but right now I'm applying to Princeton, Yale, Harvard, Stanford, UC Berkeley/LA, U of Michigan, Amherst, and Brown.</p>
<p>I'm kind of morbidly intrigued to see how the whole lack-of-ED reality will play out. I mean, it would be interesting...except that I'm directly affected!</p>
<p>Ducktape -- it must be interesting (oh, that word again) to grow up in Michigan with a parent who went to ND. I myself lived in Ann Arbor up until about three years ago, and I'm still a Michigan fan. Are you for ND or UM? And really, I hope that didn't sound too interrogative :D I'm just curious.</p>
<p>Add me to the list of prospective 2012ers. I'm not quite sure if Princeton is my first choice, but it's definitely on the collge list (which, of course, is subject to sporadic changes).</p>
<p>Both, as impossibly odd as that seems. If they play each other, I have to cheer on the Fighting Irish just because I've been indoctrinated with ND tradition since before I was born (quite literally). If I ended up at U of M I'd have a hard time rooting against ND, to be honest. As you probably know, though, in Michigan you at least have to have an allegiance to either Michigan or State, however weak it may be.</p>
<p>That being said, GO BLUE!</p>
<p>Without ED at Princeton, I'm probably going to end up applying early to UChicago. If I get accepted to QuestBridge though, I'm applying to Stanford & Princeton.</p>
<p>subject tests in chemistry, mathII, us history and maybe physics in the fall.<br>
I went to princeton today to take a tour. it's not good to fall for a school....i know this...... but it's hard not to. beautiful day, everyone looks so happy to be there....</p>
<p>Go blue indeed! Same here with the indoctrination...except in UM tradition, of course, because my mom's an alum and my dad was a professor there. I think "Hail to the Victors" was my only lullaby for quite a while. Anyway, you might end up not having to make that choice if you attend Princeton :P</p>
<p>...Back on topic, though, I've taken the subject tests in Math 2, US History and Literature, and I'm taking Chem and Bio in June.</p>
<p>Here's my list in no real order of preference (call me John Kerry, my preference has changed over 1 meal at times):</p>
<p>Princeton
Stanford
MIT
Columbia SEAS
Cornell</p>
<p>It would be an honor to be accpeted at any of those schools.</p>
<p>I will definitely apply</p>
<p>yup I will apply. I wish they didn't take away ED this year though.</p>
<p>I'm glad there are other people out there besides me who're crazy about college applications already. </p>
<p>But I wanted to talk about ED. How many of y'all were considering apply Early to Princeton? Have you now decided to apply early elsewhere?</p>
<p>I was strongly considering ED at Princeton, but then I think it was good they removed it (for me- I wont comment on the politics of it). I don't think applying ED anywhere, will be a good idea. But I'm certainly gonna use EA/SCEA at some schools.</p>
<p>princeton's my numba one choice</p>
<p>I wish they kept ED becuase I would have definatly done that. I want to apply for something early (EA or SCEA) but I am not really interested in any of those schools. And I don't want to just pick a random becuase it offers EA, that's jut really lame.</p>
<p>I was thinking about applying early to Princeton. I will now be applying ED to Brown and EA to the University of Chicago</p>
<p>I have been planning since my freshman year to apply early to pton....and then of course, just my luck... but i'm still applying. idk yet but i think i will apply early to yale instead. Doesnt it seem tho since both harvard and pton don't have early action anymore a lot of ppl will apply to yale early?</p>
<p>there is like three threads about the effect of harvard and princeton's ed removal on yale admissions fyi robocop.</p>
<p>Probably applying to Princeton SEAS. Besides that, I've really got no idea (maybe Columbia SEAS, MIT? Carnegie Mellon? maybe Lehigh or RPI would be more like matches...). Anyways, you've got a potential eng./compsci/math kid here.</p>
<p>Actually, when I saw the removal of ED, I celebrated like hell. (I'm god-awful indecisive, and my family's income is at the upper-middle-class gray area where the amount of aid is really going to depend on the uni's whim.)</p>
<p>Just OOC--is there a large reason people really wanted ED? (easier admissions? I'm not terribly familiar with the stats on it.)</p>
