Princeton?

[apotheosis]

It seems that quite a few people have received calls from their POIs at Princeton in the past few weeks. This is rather peculiar given that applicants in past years were not contacted right until results were released. I'm very curious whether if these calls were interviews? Did you get any news about how the selection process ahead will be like? And what is with the 500+ applicants?--that just sounds unreal!

I was accepted to Princeton for Fall 2010 and I got a call from my POI about two weeks before official results came out. It seems they make the calls to check your interest in the program so that they extend offers to those likely to come. At the time, I was told that my POI/department was recommending me, but the decision had to be confirmed by the Graduate College before official offers are extended, hence the two week wait.

So many casualties from the Princeton massacre today. Goodness gracious me, did they just reject everyone this year?

How did you guys hear from Princeton?  I haven't received an email nor does it show any online updates on my application.

It could be good news. It looks like rejections went out just before admits, but the admits are out now. Anything yet?

Heard back...  Rejected!  Oh well... I guess I now have Paris to console me.  : (

I guess Princeton has been a big shock to most people here. Don't lose heart, you have other programs to hear from. You'll sure get in somewhere.

 

Congrats to those who got in.
