<p>When talking to a Princeton rep, I learned that Princeton does not have regional readers; rather, their admissions officers read applications from all over the world. Does this imply that locale is not an issue in admissions?</p>
<p>This would be a mighty fine revelation because (1) I'm from the North Shore of Illinois where plenty of people apply to Princeton and (2) two twins from my school with an alumnus father who sends fat checks to Princeton were accepted ED.</p>
<p>I don't really believe that. I think I have a regional rep because that's who visited my school and who my gc told me to send my deferral letter to.</p>
<p>I don't believe it either.</p>
<p>i think its easier to get in from a less populated state than a mega state like cali and anything in new england =P</p>
<p>Although Pton reads applications randomly, I'm sure they consider region. Don't quite get your second point about fat checks, though.</p>
<p>perhaps kane meant that their father donated to the school....</p>
<p>yeah, the rep that came here said the same thing- there are no regional reps, and that the people who visit ur area are just regular admissions officers who could be sent anywhere.</p>
<p>Geographic residence is an important factor, according to US News ranking.</p>
<p>But when the same person is sent to the same region/school for many years, doesn't he/she kind of become their rep?</p>
<p>we have a different rep sent to arizona each year. this year it was some girl that graduated in 2004 while the year before was some dude that graduated in 2002 and then the year before the person was like in their 30s so i dunno =P ive never seen the same rep in arizona. ive definitely gone to all the princeton meetings for the past 4 years hahahaha</p>
<p>how do i know who's myy rep?</p>
<p>hmmm, i sent all this stuff to my regional rep. I think he knows me. I'm not sure if he likes me or not, but he always ends his notes in "warmest regards." he seems like a nice guy.</p>
<p>our regional rep comes to my school each year and talks about how wonderful princeton is. its a different person each year hahaha</p>
<p>Never knew who mine was. Whoever (s)he was, thank you!</p>
<p>ohhh
