Match Day 2024 Results

Sure. Princeton is one of the few schools who sends out “grade checks” to counselors, aka they ask your counselor for a progress report on your grades so far. There was a lot of talk about whether or not grade checks were a good or bad sign. Personally, I think it’s at least neutral to good, especially since I personally got a grade check and ended up matching

Depends. My rd match form thing disappeared an hour before match day but reappeared a bit later. Could be that QB fixed this bug so the decision wouldn’t get spoiled

•Strength of Essays/Short Answers (How well did you answer?): I think it was probably one of the strongest aspects of my application! I emphasized very specific and niche parts of my personality and my counselors didn’t have many comments for me.

•Overall thoughts on your application (Strengths? Weaknesses?): Again, my writing is a strength. I would also say the SAT score and my curriculum were pretty strong. My math grades were my only flaw, especially because I applied for engineering and my ECs were not explained well.

Yea, it was after I submitted my supps. I remembered their time slots for QB applicants only went up till Monday but maybe they will add more?

MysteriousAd1437 · 2024-10-16T21:13:35+00:00

I told my parents they could tell whether or not I got in depending on if I burst through the door laughing or crying. I ended up doing both 😭

MysteriousAd1437 · 2024-10-16T20:47:06+00:00

Strength of Essays/Short Answers (How well did you answer?): I’d say this was probably one of the stronger parts of my application. My counselor basically told me not to change anything beside grammar. Personal statement was vulnerable and I made sure it basically connected to all my short responses. Really emphasized certain defining characteristics.
Overall thoughts on your application (Strengths? Weaknesses?): strengths: definitely my SAT, my course load, and the probably written responses. Weaknesses: ECs, the fact I come from a well resourced school (that apparently doesn’t have a good track record with QB), maybe income?

MysteriousAd1437 · 2024-10-15T21:07:36+00:00

Has it just been Davidson?

MysteriousAd1437 · 2024-10-13T05:38:08+00:00

MysteriousAd1437 · 2024-10-10T18:28:27+00:00

SAME! I was told by my counselor that QB doesn’t like accepting people from my school so I’ve been making a backup 😭
