| only legacies and athletes get in early...the most corrupt admissions process of all the ivies. |

| Have two (normal unhooked) kids who were accepted into Princeton REA, high school CO 2023 and 2025. Happy to answer questions. |

Wow, well this does not fit the narrative about Princeton. Did they attend? Is it your sense that there are actually normal unhooked kids getting in? how?! also, congrats! |

| That’s awesome, and not to quibble but the second wasn’t totally unhooked if he/she had a sibling there. |

Why did they choose to REA to Princeton? Did they attend a feeder school? Did they have a good experience at Princeton? What were their majors? |

Forgot to add. They were legacy kids |

It was definitely true last admissions cycle. Official test scores have been Princeton’s policy for awhile |

Sorry, haven't checked this forum in a while. 1) My family has always been interested in "go big or go home." More specifically, HYPSM or state school. We definitely did not want to ED anywhere because we didn't want to be pigeonholed in one place. Of the HYPSM schools, my kid wanted to focus on well-rounded schools (e.g. not Yale or MIT) that were still strong in STEM. Harvard didn't seem like a great cultural fit (though both ended up being accepted during RD). My older chose Princeton, and my younger applied for the sibling legacy boost. They did not attend a feeder school, just regular public high schools. Only one of my kids ended up committing, but has loved their experience there. Studies economics, working at a finance internship this summer. T |
