Son is an unhooked white male Valedictorian with exceptional mid year report grades with an all AP and IB course load. Leadership ECs and typical Valedictorian awards profile in STEM concentration and Princeton is dream school. Also applied RD to Harvard, Yale, and Cornell as secondary choices. Already accepted to best State School as fall back. Was SCEA deferred at Princeton. Anyone have prior history to give hope that Princeton still a possibility in RD round?
What does your son want to pursue at Princeton?
Princeton accepts a few SCEA kids in RD, so hope isn’t all lost. They don’t release official numbers though, so it’s really anyone’s guess as to how many deferred kids they accept during the RD round. Last year, at least 5 deferred College Confidential members were accepted during the regular round, so there are definitely a few lucky kids who end up getting in.
Good luck to your son!
