One of my friends from my school is applying to princeton EA. I am fairly confident that under most circumstances, Princeton will not take 2 students EA. He has a 4.0 vs. my 3.92 (princeton doesn’t seem to care much about differences of this size however), slightly worse testing (but tbh both our testing is at the point where small differences don’t matter), a lot more leadership positions, a bit fewer accomplishments, about equal at sports, and slightly worse at music. However, he’s an international student. I would sort of like to apply to princeton early, but if i’m going to have to compete with him, I’d rather “space” it out and apply somewhere else early. So therefore i’m wondering whether princeton reviews international students separately from domestic students and I don’t have to compete with him, or whether I would be competing directly with him if I applied early as well.
