Do you guys think that two different science teachers (specifically physics and chemistry) would qualify as two different subject areas? My couonselor already mailed everything, but I haven't submitted my application yet. Should I try and change it to math and a science?

There's no problem with that. Afaik, only Columbia SEAS poses such a restriction. But it would be nicer if you had one science and one non-science teacher writing for you, you may not wanna come across as a person who can solve all the equations in the world but has never heard of Shakespeare! []

Wow, it's been a long time since I've been on this forum. I was a bit obsessed with it my senior year of high school.

I'm a Junior at Princeton now. This forum has very little useful advice, and even less relevant information. Colleges like Princeton really don't care that much how you know about their school before you apply, they're simply interested in taking the best applicants possible. In light of this, and because it's so easy to apply, I encourage you to simply apply to all the top schools on the Common Application, and research your accepted choices. It will save you a tremendous amount of stress.

This might be a really stupid question, but when Princeton say "Common Application" does it mean the Common Application part of the Big Common Application thing, or does it mean the Whole Common Application thing, including the common app, the supplement, the teacher recom., and the school reports?
To be more specific, does Princeton also accept the online teacher recom. and SSR on the Common application website or does it only accept the Princeton one?

^hey, i'm applying to Princeton too using the common application. When I was told "common app school" I assumed it would mean the whole package.

would princeton be a good school to study chemistry at?

I have a couple friends that are Chem Majors. One of them is doing an EARLY concentration, and she is doing research on her free time on superconductors.


I don't have any in-depth experience with chem, but they they like Chemistry here =). (Maybe I'll ask one of them in the next few days about it)

The chem department is full of characters. The professors are great people.

hey...
i was wondering if the "Quotation/define your values" essay could come up to a 1000 words? (ie 7000 characters including spaces but not double spacing)

any current student who did that for class of 2012 admissions ?

thanks for any help

adrivit

1000 words is way too much. Try cutting it down.

R-DNA

Its not about cutting down. Its about estimating how much I can write.
Besides, why would they give a space limit of 7900 characters if they didn't want a 1000 word essay?

adrivit

That is because 7900 is a default character limit afaik. Keep it to 500-750 maximum. :-)

Is it possible to get accepted this early according to https://www.collegedata.com/cs/admis...lassYear=2013?

What were your statistics? SAT scores, GPA, Rank, Extra Circulars, etc. Also, would you say Princeton Economics is #1 in the world? How hard is it to get into compared to other departments? What are the rooms at Whitman College like?
