I’m very excited to know that you will be on campus next August. I need to meet you!

I’m also Class of 2017, and even though I haven’t been involved in the military yet, I was going to enlist into the Navy rather than going to college. However, due to citizenship complications, it was too hard and I would be severely limited if I did enlist.

And then somebody convinced me to apply to Princeton early and take it from there, and here I am. Life sure has its surprises.

To all of you who are/will be veterans applying to college, I also urge you to dream BIG! Your experiences mean A LOT more than any 2400 SAT/4.0 GPA. I know for a fact that Princeton wants people who have something to say, who have lived, and if you have been in the military, then you most definitely have something to say about the world.

All the best to all of you!

PS: ub3rmike, if you can contact me through Facebook, that would be awesome. I’m in the Class of 2017 group, and my first name is Mariana.
