<p>Has anyone here been rejected by Harvard and Yale but accepted by Princeton?</p>
<p>I was rejected by Harvard and Yale and waitlisted by Princeton. Since I know that there were people accepted to Harvard and or Yale and rejected by Princeton, I am wondering if I have any chance of getting into Princeton.</p>
<p>A good friend of mine got deffered from Harvard than rejected from both Harvard and Yale. He got into Princeton (along with a bunch of other top schools) off the waitlist. He is very happy there. I know he sent a lot of updates and reiterated his interest in attending Princeton. Best of Luck.</p>
<p>Among the thousands of highly-qualified US students who apply to Harvard, Yale, and Princeton, I'm sure there occurs every possible permutation and combination of acceptances, waitlists, and rejections.</p>
<p>me: accepted Y P , rej H
friend: rejected YP, acc H.</p>
<p>definitely happens. In terms of selectivity, they're all pretty close. For your interest you can check up the numbers and the ED/EA RD breakdowns.</p>
<p>i was rejected H, Y and accepted at Princeton. I'm international and physics olympiad. Probably Princeton valued this thing more than H and Y. </p>
<p>It depends a lot on the admissions policy of the school and the dean of admissions at each school. You might fit into the policy of onle one of HYP. So it surely happens.</p>
