I am sorry to inform you that we were not able to admit you to Princeton this year. We received a record pool of over 21,000 applications, and we were able to admit only a small percentage of that group. We realize that you are likely to be disappointed with this decision. Our choices reflected the strength and size of our applicant pool. As we do every year, we made every effort to weigh each student’s achievements, talents, and skills in the context of her or his secondary school setting. We took into consideration the vast differences among the 7,436 high schools from 137 countries represented in the pool. The admissions committee made each decision in the context of all the other applications; therefore, we cannot provide specific reasons why certain students were not offered admission.

A detailed letter was mailed to you earlier today by postal service.

Thank you for your interest in Princeton and for giving us the opportunity to consider your application.

Janet Lavin Rapelye
Dean of Admission

Expected this anyway =.=

No financial aid for me this year…
