Yikes. Very quiet. Did anyone w/out a hook get in today?

DC was deferred- anyone get accepted after a deferral?

Stats? Is this for this year or last? Rejected here; stellar stats; very confused bc saw 80% get deffered, so wondering how to mitigate for RD; 1550 all A's all 5s

Where do you see 80% deferred?

Anyone get a yes from Princeton today?

But if they do - you are being reviewed more closely. We tried to NOT read too much into it at the time, but thankfully first quarter grades were super strong so only helped in their case.

If sophomore and junior grades are great, do you need perfect grades in 9th grade for Princeton or can you have a couple B+/A-?

DC got rejected Princeton early action. Sibling attended. No Q1 grade request.

And don't sweat it if you face a deferral. 2/3 of my kids were deferred early. All unhooked. Such a fantastic school. Good luck everyone.

Thanks for the reminder! And wow! Do you think it helps to have a sibling?

I have no idea. We will find out today!

They don’t ask Q1 grades for all early admits

Yes. Princeton includes financial aid decision with acceptance

Will kids who are accepted receive information about FinAid along with their decision?

It's probably a check to make sure they're taking the classes they said they're taking and maintaining their grades which means they would also check the definite yes apps too (?)

I think the definite YES early apps don't get Q1 request, but perhaps Q1 grades are asked for other compelling applicants that an AO wants to advocate for in committee, to bolster their position?

Other schools have mentioned that once they determine a kid has the academic stats, other factors seem to be the deciding factor so not sure for Princeton why some early accepted applicants receive the Q1 request and others don't.
