General Comments:
Congratulations, to all of those who were accepted bc you deserve it! I really think my test scores killed me as they are in the lower percentile of Princeton. Overall, my school isn’t renown for the amount of student’s it sends to the Ivies. Anyway for all of us that got deferred, lets cross our fingers, finish out the year strong and hope for the best!!
