Princeton Class or 2021 EA / RD Application thread

Hey guys! 2020 here. Whatever happens today, you guys are all super accomplished and this decision does not reflec your value as a human being at all (this goes for both the deferments/rejects who’ll be super hard on themselves for this and the acceptances who will invariably grow huge egos for the rest of senior year; i know i did).

Also, if you guys log on right at 3pm est, there’ll probably a queue to get to the actual login page, as 4000 something people will be trying to get onto the page at the same time. Last year I waited in the queue for about 10 minutes, so just sit tight. Please film your reactions!! I was on the can from the constant stress and anxiety of the wait when I got accepted SCEA last year so I couldnt really film it. Don’t let that be you.

maybe try logging into https://admitted.princeton.edu/ ??

Best of luck from an accepted Cornell ED applicant!!! You all are great, just hang in there:)

I am not cut out for this! I said I wouldn’t watch the clock and I’ve done nothing but watch the clock!

@normanxi thanks for the laughs! That’s so nice of you to jump on here to encourage others!

@College123college oh no, i tried the link and it doesnt work. are we even allowed to click on the link

Hey guys, 2020 EA admit here - feel free to ask any questions! Good luck today!

2 hours! I’m so nervous lol :expressionless:

@Mrmerchant were you an ea applicant who was deferred then accepted or accepted straight away? and did you have any hooks? ive heard unhooked white people from out of state have almost no chance in scea and its got me very stressed out

@bakinghoe I don’t feel like P would be this unfair… Then again I’m unfamiliar with the college process

RIP…

LOL not getting in…

The shorter the wait is getting, the longer it feels like… Anyone else feeling this??

Only 15.4% admit rate out of over 5000 applicants… Now I know I have no chance

I’m panicking

“Princeton’s undergraduate admission office mailed notification letters to students Dec. 15, and the decisions were available to applicants via secure online access on the same day.”

Why isn’t it posted to the portal then?! Cart before the horse…

When you are scrolling through the college confidential and find someone you know who has commented >>>> @normanxi

Welp this was fun everyone, time to go curl up in a ball and cry.

I am an Asian from Canada, and I was accepted through EA @bakinghoe

1 hour left. Good luck everyone!!!
