Princeton was going to be full pay even if the got in and other T20 gave a significant merit scholarship. However, this was few years ago and my DC is Asian from large competitive suburban public high school.



sorry to derail, but which T20 gave big merit? Emory, Wash U, Vandy? (am I forgetting someplace?)


Dpp, but each of those schools offers a very limited number of merit full rides,

My kid was on Princeton WL too, RD applicant. Don't worry--I'm not sure anyone got off the WL last year. I think there were 1,700 kids on the WL. But, P told my kid it was closed by June and they weren't admitting any off WL.

Princeton is always all legacy and athletes. Always has been at our school. Very, very rarely is there a Princeton admit--even those had a hook built in (race/ses, etc--while having the stats). Other Ivies, yes--but not Princeton.

Odd you know 3.

Anyone else know 3, from the same area, same hook, all scea, and all this cycle?

Don’t blame you, hope she’s doing okay with news. Wish this place wasn’t so nasty, it could be so helpful with anonymity and people being willing to share more than usual due to that.
