<p>The interesting part about that is people that don't have a major hook. Yes, I do have good sat scores, and I do many activities and bring in special unique involvement in extra-curriculars, but I don't see my self replacing anyone.</p>
<p>SO, I'm shooting for demonstrated interest.</p>
<p>hmm...how many female asian christian poet-journalists can be out there?</p>
<p>So, hopefully foreign language/middle eastern studies people from maryland don't want to go to princeton, lol...</p>
<p>while I hope there cant be too many published authors trying out for engineering....</p>
<p>me! but next year....</p>

...you have essentially been granted an extra round with a better accept rate tahn the round that just landed you there.

Essentially, yes. Practically no. This round will be even more competitive because it is a selective group (they've weeded out all the applicants who don't stand a chance so you're only competing against fellow waitlistees).</p>
<p>Out of curiosity, how are Princeton's decisions made?</p>
<p>Does a majority vote = acceptance and a tie = waitlist?</p>
<p>i called today and a guy said SEVERAL hundred</p>
<p>Anybody decide to send letters to admisssions?</p>
<p>yeah-but what all should one put in them?</p>
<p>last year about 600+ applicants were waitlisted off which approximately 300 candidates decided to remain on waitlist and finally 27 were offered admission from these students (all numbers are approximation)</p>
<p>source: college p rowler Princeton Uni.</p>
<p>There were 79 taken from the waitlist for the Class of 2008. I believe.</p>
<p>1,045 were placed on the list, and 719 chose to remain.</p>
<p>Take anything you read in the "College P rowler" with a grain of salt. It is an extremely unreliable source of information.</p>
<p>79/719 = 11%
not bad, especially for international students, where the acceptance rate is much lower than that...</p>
