<p>You’re getting email replies from Princeton???! :eek:</p>
<p><em>faints</em></p>
<p>And I don’t know a single person on the adcom - wow why don’t I know anything? :(</p>
<p>yes I am but it’s nothing personal I just asked them some questions regarding the application procedures.
Princeton is great when it comes to replying to emails and queries.I’m Quite impressed by them actually</p>
<p>hey vampiro… where all are you applying? i hope its not just harvard,yale, princeton, duke, stnaford mit…
especially if your applying for finaid i suggest you have atleast 4-5 safeties and be prepared to attend these safeties (just incase it doesnt work out with the big univs). not everyone makes it into HYPSDM… and be equally active in contact with your safety schools as you are with your top coices. univ admission isnt the same as indian admissions. even if your marks etc are brilliant you cant be 100% sure of getting into an ivy or simialrly ranked school.can you run your stats by me again?</p>
