| You will get one. They interview everyone. |

| Everyone interviews. They don’t matter. Then everyone gets deferred. |

| Since we're on the topic, does anyone have any info on how legacy fares for Princeton REA? I believe legacy kids make up about 11% and most are probably accepted early? Are legacy more likely to be deferred (as a soft rejection) rather than being rejected in REA? |

check with the coach - it may or may not be a requirement. In many ways the application is a bit of a formality for the athletic recruits. |

Don’t know but as recently as five years ago Princeton deferred 70-80% of REA applicants. I think that’s changed in the last few years but I don’t know percentages. |

I think legacies are more likely to be deferred, but not necessarily. And i’m guessing most legacies apply early, but I’m not sure there is an advantage to doing so (unless you are at a feeder school where a lot of kids apply). Just as anecdata, one of my friends’ kid (legacy) got in RD after being rejected by Harvard in REA, and another’s kid applied REA to Princeton and was outright rejected, but I don’t think their stats were excellent. |

| I know of a legacy rejected in REA. Not a strong candidate though so perhaps they didn’t want to string him along. |

| I also know of dazzlingly smart legacies who were admitted (some of whom are also URMs and have additional hooks) so it’s hard to separate out the legacy factor for a strong applicant. |

| It's such a crap shoot - the top Ivy admit from my kid's public school class of '25 applied REA to Princeton and was deferred to rejected. Got into all the other Ivys she applied to. |
