<p>but I have been working on a senior research paper all year
so I had to double check a statisitc and called a pretty renowned princeton professor
we have been talking for about 2 hours the past two days and he really likes what i am doing </p>
<p>I am a princeton applicant…I did not submit this paper as additional materials, because I wasn’t satisified with it until a week ago</p>
<p>do you think at this point that I should ask him maybe for a recommendation or inform him that I am applying? </p>
<p>would that even matter at this point? are decisions still being made?</p>
<p>Hard to say…it would be different if you had a long-standing relationship with the professor and had actually met them beforehand or worked in their lab, etc. I mean, other than the project the professor probably doesn’t know that much about you. These things can be tricky. Plus I think they had a deadline for supplementary materials.</p>
<p>I marvel of people trying to sneak into top schools by under-the-table connections. Then again, marvel isn’t the right word. It’s more of “appalled.” Pull the string if you have no sense of ethics or wait like most of the other people.</p>
