<p>a Princeton rep came to my school last week…she talked to everyone. I stayed after and asked her a bunch of specific questions…and by the end she was like “what’s your name, by the way?” and even though i have a pretty regular name, i happen to be the FIRST name on her visiting sign-in sheet (yay). she’s the regional director and she reads our apps…i think i cut her off once or twice though (i was too excited). lol</p>
<p>@Code H: First of all, coolness that a Princeton rep was able to go to your school! The most my school gets is in-state schools. And congrats on how Princeton already knows you </p>
<p>Secondly, You don’t have to include the quote in your essay as long as your essay pertains to your quote. But I did include the quote in my essay because that’s just my style, haha.</p>
<p>MIT and Yale: all info SENT out. Dec 1, here I come</p>
<p>Princeton: all things done, just need to click submit (sunday morning :P)
Stanford: Why Stanford essay…I have the draft in my head, so this should be quick.</p>
<p>the common app says the deadline for Princeton and Stanford is nov. 1st. should we submit everything by then or can qb applicants submit it on the 2nd? (although i hope to be submitting before then…)</p>
<p>@kangaroo423: Uh, I think Yale sent it out a couple of days ago. Perhaps you can check your SPAM or Deleted Mail to see if it’s there for some reason. Or you should try calling the admissions office?</p>
<p>Just got Oct SAT scores and dont know if i should rush them because they asked to report as soon as oct 23 or should i not rush them because they said not too</p>
<p>^^ Resist the temptation ib612!! No seriously, I don’t think you should rush them because rushing puts the scores in a separate file/pile and it will only either leave them oblivious to your scores or delayed in getting around to them.</p>
<p>I’m sure they’ll understand. You did mark in your application the dates of the OCT SAT right? (with no score after it) They’ll know to look for it.</p>
<p>QB specifically said not to use the rush score service, as it will be pretty much useless. They’ll get there in time. The QB partner schools (at least the ones I know of) accept the Oct SAT date. So no, you don’t need to use the rush service.</p>
<p>The Princeton Financial Aid application is supposed to arrive by mail in early November, according to the Princeton QB site. I haven’t received anything yet. Still waiting.</p>
<p>by the way, if any of you have to fill out the common application supplement, how long was your essay? I know the suggested length for the Princeton one is “around 500 words” but mine is 656 words. Is that too long??</p>
