Princeton University Graduate School Admission Results

sad..

Phone call from POI/graduate studies head. She said to expect an email tomorrow. Organic Chemistry

Unofficial recommendation to graduate school. This makes 7 out of 7 acceptances!

Totally expected.

Clearly they are only inviting those they wish to weed out for interviews and those not invited are the shoo-ins! Just kidding :) Good luck everybody!

4.0 in Master's, two internships in national labs, hep-ex.

I contacted my PI beforehand, he replied that I have a very related background and a strong CV. I would not have applied had he not replied. Very very disappointed.

Are all the princeton admits out? I've still not heard back with a rejection. Princeton usually sends out both accepts and rejects.

Interviewed by POI about 3 weeks ago. Area: ML/RL

Thank you for applying to Princeton University's Graduate School for the 2016-17 academic year. While I assure you that the materials you submitted were carefully reviewed by the faculty in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, I regret to inform you that the department did not recommend your admission for the coming academic year. The number of admission offers available at Princeton for entering graduate students is extremely limited, and we cannot offer admission to all applicants who are well-qualified. Indeed, many departments consistently have applicants who would be admitted without hesitation if additional resources were available. Our decisions take into account not only the applicants' merits but also the suitability of the programs to the candidates' expressed interests. Our goal is to achieve a sound match between the strengths of our programs and the interests of the relatively small number of outstanding students that can be accommodated. I wish you success in your plans for graduate study and thank you for considering Princeton University.

Email from Janet Currie.

Very excited!!
