I've been considering applying to Princeton, but I'm not quite sure what my chances are. Does anyone have the recent acceptance statistics for this uni? Thanks!
Sure, I'd be happy to provide some information. According to the most recently available data, Princeton had an admit rate of approximately 6%. This consisted of a 15.5% early acceptance rate.
However, keep in mind that these are broad statistics. Your individual chances of admission can depend on various factors, including your GPA, SAT/ACT scores, extracurricular involvement, essays, letters of recommendation, and other aspects of your application. In addition, the aforementioned percentages provide a general picture and may vary slightly from year to year.
It's also important to remember that Princeton University is one of the most selective universities in the United States, and many of the applicants who are not accepted are still very high-achieving students. Applying to a mix of reach, match, and safety schools is a good strategy to ensure you'll have options after the admission decisions come in.
