@sarrip Not sure why you felt a need to tag me – if you read my two posts they were not meant to be “harsh and untimely” – in fact I did encourage the OP to send a letter of continuing interest to Princeton. My concern was that in reading prior posts it was not evident that the OP had applied to any match (non-single digit admission rate) schools other than a safety and I wanted to encourage those applications. Happily in a response the OP did appear to have a well-balanced application list – the match applications were just were not part of any post I saw.
My feeling is that at the end of the process it is best if each student has choices. This is advice I gave my own children and countless others I have worked with in the college application process. Unfortunately I have read about too many people on CC who apply to just reach and safety schools only to be disappointed and have one unsatisfying choice in the end. It appeared that the OP interpreted my comments the wrong way and I already told him/her I’m sorry for that.
Anyway I’m sure we both wish the OP all the best going forward.
@happy1 - I actually did not tag you or at lease didn’t mean to. When I quoted the OP your name happened to be in the OP’s post. I apologize for the confusion.
