Official Princeton University SCEA Class of 2017 Thread!

[9jagurl96]

I submitted early-october too. I have not gotten an interview yet. I'm getting REALLY nervous, obssessively checking my mail.

I am pretty sure it was about 2 weeks after the application deadline until my son was contacted by an alum for an interview, even though he applied earlier than the deadline.

Looking forward to applying to Princeton. My sister graduated 2012, I'd graduate 2017... think of reunions, we will always have the same major reunions hahaha

But seriously nervous. Since I'm not American I can't quite compare everything, even the SATI doesn't help... on the bright side I am really happy with my SATII's and finishing my A Levels in 10 days.

Best of luck to everyone who is applying and have applied! Hope to catch you guys over in the beautiful town of Princeton. Keep it real.

do we send 2011 tax returns and w2? or do we wait for 2012?

Hey guys!
Like many of you, I applied SCEA to Princeton. I'm fairly excited, but trying not to have too much hope. Anyways, I'm wondering how much my class rank will affect my admissions decision. I'm in the top 5%, but not in the top ten people at a public school. This isn't for a lack of trying; the classes I took just weren't as weighted as some of the others (although still a tough course load). Is this something I should mention during my interview? Also, how poorly do you believe this will reflect on me as an applicant?

"do we send 2011 tax returns and w2? or do we wait for 2012?"

Princeton asks for 2012, see the link below:

I applied on Nov. 1, and I just got an email today saying that I would be contacted soon.

I got my interview. But im in nj, so I dont think it was that hard to get it.

What are you gonna do if you get in?

I applied SCEA to Princeton on November 3rd or so (thanks a lot, Sandy). I got the email about my interview on the 14th and had it last night, the 16th. So overall, the turnaround was quite good on their part, but maybe that's just because of how close the interviewer lived to me. As for the actual interview (if you care), I couldn't have been more pleased. The man was very friendly and the tone was quite conversational. He gave me a chance to explain any poor grades or whatnot and did, I think, an excellent job of both getting to know me and answering my questions. I can't say if it'll be the same for everyone, but if you're nervous about it, just know that if mine could go well, yours could only go better. Cheers, all.

If only you could be accepted based entirely on interviews....in fact, if only the interviews meant something.... sigh... oh well.

Did everyone get contacted for an interview?
I've been waiting for an alumni to contact me. I'm starting to feel anxious about it.
How many of you guys already received emails regarding interviews?

[Natalion]

I sill haven't received an email for an interview and I submitted my app the end of September.

[MOREthanLUCK]

If you have not gotten an interview email yet, then either there is no interviewer in your area or your interviewer hasn't checked his/her email. (More than likely it is the second option)

*Also, make sure to check your SPAM. Sometimes the email gets put into here for some reason.

I hope your problem gets resolved. Good luck (:
