<p>I’m sorry…no chance at all. I’m on the phone with an admissions counselor.</p>

3

<p>hey newyitty. it’s not very nice to be sarcastic when someone may be asking a serious question.</p>

<p>i’d say you have a pretty good chance. your location is definitely a plus. but then what would i know. it all depends on how the adcoms are feeling.</p>

4

<p>umm…not to be offensive, but…</p>

<p>How can your first post ever be to a school to whose rival your name is dedicated? Also, Yale is the one with EA, not Princeton. Maybe you’re in the wrong forum?</p>

<p>o_0 .</p>

6

<p>…0.0</p>

<p>ummm…chances for Yale? id say fair shot. if u did EA, u find out pretty soon anyway</p>

7

<p>coolpenguin, Being in Oregon is a plus??? How so???</p>

8

<p>Its a yalien intrusion!! NO!!</p>

9

<p>U should have a better (than 10%) chance of getting in =P</p>

10

<p>I suspect you thought this was the Yale forum…BUt yeah in any of the schools, you have a good shot like everyone else = ~10%</p>

11

<p>lol guys 10% for EA is bad, not good.</p>

12

<p>Not a snowballs chance in hell kid. Sorry. Just quit… life.</p>

13

<p>Not getting into Princeton RD IMO.</p>

14

<p>good scores, gpa, but not enough distinctions. awards. well-recognized ec’s.</p>

<p>i would say average applicant’s chance. Which means that there is 90% you will not get in. sorry.</p>

15

<p>

</p>

<p>Well this one is pretty good haha.
Impressive.</p>

16

<p>It’s good, but assuming that this person is an above average applicant and we give him or her a 10 to 15% chance of admission, the odds are still not looking to be that great.</p>

17

<p>No I know this is the Princeton forum. I’m applying RD to Princeton. Sorry, I guess I should have said that. Yeah, I’ve applied SCEA to Yale. </p>

<p>Thank you guys for all of your comments; I appreciate them, well, all of of them except Capitalism’s. Thanks again and good luck to you all with Princeton; it’s a great place.</p>

18

<p>But you can only apply early to one place, unless it is just plain old EA!!! You need to withdraw one of your apps immediately…!</p>

19

<p>No, you can apply RD whenever you want.</p>

<p>Calm down, Ernie! :slight_smile:
OP is applying <em>RD</em> to Princeton, <em>SCEA</em> to Yale.</p>
