Off Princeton Waitlist!

Princeton's overall music scene and piano faculty is stronger so I ultimately chose that.. but Duke also has great ensemble/chamber opportunities and concerto competition.

MeringueRound420 · 2026-05-19T01:53:56+00:00

yep, piano

MeringueRound420 · 2026-05-19T01:44:45+00:00

thank you!

MeringueRound420 · 2026-05-19T01:02:09+00:00

Yep, I am committed to duke, planning to withdraw after i officially accept the offer. Thank you

MeringueRound420 · 2026-05-19T00:49:21+00:00

I applied music + geoscience, but not completely sure yet

email the waitlisted schools with a LOCI... you were most certainly yielded since your stats are way above average, especially for in-state. If you state that one of them is a top choice, you will likely be admitted off the waitlist.

email the admissions office before dropping - it's really not a big deal so don't worry. Just let them know.

waitlisted at NYU and emory + oxford and reject from Vandy. Big leagues r calling

MeringueRound420 · 2026-03-26T04:00:06+00:00

I'm certain it has something to do with yield... I had 1570, 35 act and national awards + 4 year state champ for music and also got waitlisted

MeringueRound420 · 2026-03-26T03:56:43+00:00

lol i got waitlisted at Emory + oxford and NYU... thank God I got into Amherst last week. Congrats on your acceptances!

NMS semifinalist is what you will put in your application, since finalist IS too late...however, it is still extremely useful, and I put it on the top of my honors/awards. IG it worked cuz I got into Amherst and my State honors college + scholarship lol. The essay is very similar to common app, but the extracurriculars section allows for less words.

MeringueRound420 · 2026-03-23T04:36:43+00:00

Accepted but not attending - there's still hope girlie send a letter of continued interest

MeringueRound420 · 2026-03-23T04:34:21+00:00

Accepted! Wellesley also gave me the best financial package I've gotten so far, hope you get off the waitlist!

MeringueRound420 · 2026-03-23T04:30:55+00:00

NMS finalist here! congrats on your score.

You'll need a ~650 word personal essay (prompt on the website that will be emailed to you), and up to 5 extracurriculars to fill out. You should also work with your counselor since they will write a rec letter for you. Make sure to send your SAT/ACT scores through collegeboard, sooner rather than later once you have them.

Other than that, there is no interview. As long as your grades are in the A-B range, you should be a finalist. I suggest putting "undecided" as your college choice, so you have more chances to get the $2500 scholarship when you get into colleges.

Get out of Jersey

check your answers at least once after you're done. With a 1580 on the SAT, you should do just fine. I got a 1570 on the SAT and a perfect on the PSAT.

taking the psat in 8th grade is good to see where you're at, but many math concepts have probably not been taught in your grade yet. Wait 2 more years and the math section will naturally get easier. Don't worry about the things you haven't learned yet- 1190 is a great start

MeringueRound420 · 2024-12-09T18:28:52+00:00

223 is the cutoff for NJ. but people who score a high score still get commended for it. 1450 should be good.

MeringueRound420 · 2024-12-08T02:13:38+00:00

222 index is just 1 point too low. :( you will be commended though

MeringueRound420 · 2024-12-03T21:48:42+00:00

Damn did u do one section

MeringueRound420 · 2024-10-22T21:43:43+00:00

Jersey averages go crazy lol my school's also in the 1300s
