I applied to Princeton RD and I also do not have midterm grades on my checklist. I assumed that Princeton does not track the information on the portal.
Same here, except for the art portfolio.
The midterm grades are not showing on my son’s portal either. But, his school portal shows that the grades have been sent. I wouldn’t worry.
In my daughter’s case, the Princeton never asked for midterm report, and the portal specifically said that the application is completed and nothing else is needed. Her counselor advised that in that case it is not necessary to send the midterm report. May be it is a reject.
My D24’s school sent the midyear transcript anyway. She also uploaded her own midyear portfolio and activity updates. Not sure if these things help or not… lol.
Did the portal say your application is complete (in green)?
On another note, some people (including alumni) say Princeton is tight on giving students good grades in today’s world of grade inflation, and they have negative views on this because it might affect the students’ job and/or grad school applications. What are the opinions here?
Yes, but they allow you to upload whatever updates you think that might help.
Thanks, and they do.
I just received an email from Princeton saying my decision will be available Thursday. What about you?
Same. That was a bit of a jump scare to title it “online decision notification”.
It was a jump scare😭
Good luck to everyone and let’s hope for the best!
Arguably, it’s the best or one of the best Ivy League colleges. Princeton undergrad is a hot cookie on the job market.
Did anybody try this?
Princeton Preview is offered to admitted applicants only. You may register for one day.
I get the same thing too
Can others still see option to Upload Materials under the application checklist?
I have the selection bar, and when I click on it, I have the option to upload “Optional Supporting Document” or “Graded Written Paper.” What about you?
Yes, same. Thx!
