<p>i’m just curious - it seems like Princeton takes more legacies/athletes/special people during early and defers most of the more “standard” applicants (since the people who got in early from my school usually had legacy, played tennis, or had some unique condition, while the more “standard” but still qualified people were deferred but got in regular) - is that true or is it just me attempting to create statistics out of nothing?</p>
<p>@everyone if you got deferred, remember that you still have a chance at Princeton, but also remember that there’s tons of great schools out there and that even if Princeton didn’t work out, you’ll end up somewhere great. one of my friends got rejected from every college he applied to except (some pretty good college, but more of a low match/high safety for him), but now he’s having a really great time and is meeting world leaders from all over the place and also has a girlfriend (something none of us at high school thought possible) and constantly tells me about how it’s so awesome, so don’t be discouraged :)</p>
