Curious about this...

Say in this hypothetical scenario an individual (domestic or international) applied Princeton with a decent SAT score, decent extracurricular accomplishments, etc. yet was still rejected. Then this individual took a gap year as oppose to immediately going to university. Within this year they gain an excellent SAT score, some outstanding extracurricular accomplishments and work in other fields, etc. Would this individual be able apply to apply to Princeton AGAIN a year later in autumn/winter?

In essense my question boils down to whether or not Princeton (and Ivy Leagues by extension) allow an individual (including those of international status) to apply to their college more once, i.e. a year later after the initial rejection. And no, the scenario above is not reflective of my position though I am curious having not seen this brought up anywhere else (will probably try contacting Princeton itself if the answers here do not prove fruitful). Does it differ between domestic and international?

Not even for the specific scenario I laid… simply can you apply more than once a year after the initial rejection… So, yes or no?

I cannot find anything online that says students may not reapply after a rejection. Princeton also does not differentiate between domestic and individual applicants in any other areas, so I assume the policy would be the same for both.

@SudorTudor “and Ivy Leagues by extension” is completely not true. Princeton doesn’t allow transfers, for instance, but everyone else does.
