You are correct. The 2022 RD admit number is actually 1142. With ED Admits 799. I got the correct numbers from Princeton’s announcement on March 28, 2018. Total number of RD applications in 2022 was 29,968 (SCEA number of applications was 5402). The RD numbers I posted before were from toptieradmissions and the 2022 year RD numbers are not correct.
The Yale tee, water bottle and sticker was really nice. Nothing from Brown or Princeton. I think my daughter told me that Princeton did ask for size and they will get them on campus.
During the Preview Day, Princeton hands out a bunch of stuff, but because there wasn’t one this year, I don’t know whether they’ll mail things, instead. But once you’re enrolled, they hand out so many t-shirts (practically at every home games) that some students actually even complained that the university should use the money for better things. On the move in day, Princeton surprised us with a hard copy of coffee table book on Princeton worth around $60 a copy. During the incoming freshmen ceremony, it rained, so my son’s residential college gave every student a rain jacket with the residential college logo that wasn’t of cheap quality. Free t-shirts, mugs, and whatnot from residential college and every club you belong to. My son’s a member of an a capella group on campus, and this super rich alumnus, who was a member of the same a capella group while he was a student at Princeton, treated all the current members to a 5-star restaurant before they all went home due to Covid-19, provided them with a custom designed travel case, as well as uniform with the acapella logo. Shortly after my son came home, we received a package containing another uniform. Two weeks later, another package arrived with another uniform. I’d much rather he send bundles of cash. Campus food? Outside of the dining plan, free food is everywhere and at all hours. Don’t worry if Princeton ends up not sending you anything over the mail as a welcoming gesture. You’ll be inundated with free stuff once on board.
As a parent, I’m aware that campus health centers are not emergency rooms and not do provide the level of care that a hospital would provide. This is my second child at Princeton and my 3rd in college and I must say that when one of my children needed medical attention, it was handled in the most excellent, professional manner and the staff at the Princeton Health Center were fully capable. I’m so sorry about what happened to that young lady and I am glad she is well. I’m hoping that once students get back on campus that they will follow the social guidelines to the letter, not think they are exempt, take this pandemic seriously and not undermine what everyone is working so hard for. It would be ashamed for everyone to be sent home because of the impulsivity and selfishness of some.
