is it true that if I get rejected at Stanford then I have no chance at Princeton..... just today I got rejected in Stanford...but I'm applying to Princeton.... some say that Princeton is far better than Stanford, and if someone is rejected at Stanford then dreaming Princeton is worthless...
could u plz tell the truth...

I won't sugar coat things. The RD admit rate of Princeton applicants who have been rejected EA at another school is probably significantly lower than the overall RD rate (which is already quite low). That being said, it's not an impossibility. Different admissions offices are looking for different things each year, and hopefully you will have some of the qualities that Princeton is looking for.

One of my high school classmates was turned down EA by Stanford and was accepted RD by Princeton. So no, it's not impossible.

Chill. I was rejected by Stanford and accepted by Princeton. Even if it doesn't work out, you'll get a better GPA if you don't go to HYPSM. It will work out.
