It's That Time of Year Again: Welcoming the Class of 2027


It’s that time of year again. My team and I are making last minute tweaks to the incoming first-year class.

We’ve spent the past several months reading, re-reading and discussing the applications that many of you reading this blog put hours of preparation into. We have appreciated learning about your academic pursuits, the activities that intrigue you outside of the classroom and the factors that led you to apply to Princeton. We have laughed at your funny anecdotes, cried (yes, cried) over some of the situations you have trusted us enough to share and thought about how you might add to this vibrant community. And now it comes down to your receiving a decision.

You might not believe it, but this is not my favorite part of my job. Don’t get me wrong, I think I have one of the best jobs on this campus – being able to serve my alma mater in a way that introduces her to prospective students around the world. But in this moment, providing decisions that will exhilarate some and devastate others is not my idea of fun.

So, each year, I try to remind ALL applicants that receiving a decision from a college (whether it’s Princeton or some other amazing institution of higher learning) should not make or break you. If you receive positive news, that’s excellent! Celebrate, decide if it’s the place you can see yourself learning and growing inside and outside of the classroom and base your decision on whether or not to enroll on whether or not the school is a fit for you academically, socially and financially.

If you receive not-so positive news, know that one school’s decision does not indicate anything about your ability to be successful in college. I can only speak for Princeton, but each year we receive applications from many more highly qualified students than we could possibly admit. And, each year we have to say no to many of those same students. I realize that doesn’t take the sting out of receiving anything other than an admit. Still, I hope that you will not let the received decision keep you down. Rather, take a minute to absorb it, and then regroup and put your efforts into your senior year activities. Importantly, remember to enjoy the remainder of your high school senior year, as making those memories are as important as figuring out the next phase of your life.

Whatever decision you receive from Princeton or any other college or university you have applied to, please know that we have enjoyed getting to know you. Your story is unique to you and important. And whatever campus community is allowed to benefit from your presence will be all the better for it.

Good luck with this next adventure!


We Have Enjoyed Getting to Know You: Bringing in the Class of 2027


It’s that time of year again. Here in New Jersey, the weather has turned colder, the trees have surrendered the last of their leaves, and my team and I are making last minute tweaks to the incoming first year class.

We’ve spent the past several weeks reading, re-reading and discussing the applications that many of you reading this blog put hours of preparation into. We have appreciated learning about your academic pursuits, the activities that intrigue you outside of the classroom and the factors that led you to apply to Princeton. We have laughed at your funny anecdotes, cried (yes, cried) over some of the situations you have trusted us enough to share and thought about how you might add to this vibrant community.

Why Princeton Is No Longer Promoting Its Admission Rate


There has been much discussion recently about the University’s decision to step back from promoting statistics about admitted students, including a Reactions column this week. As Dean of Admission, I want to provide additional information and context.

First, it’s important to be clear about what we’re doing and why. 

Selective institutions have long made a practice of marking the day admission decisions are released by trumpeting their low admission rates and the impressive credentials of admitted students. For the reasons detailed below, Princeton began stepping back from this approach a few years ago by no longer highlighting its admission rate or the standardized test scores of admitted students. 

We took an important step this year by making the decision to no longer release an announcement about admitted students and to instead highlight the enrolled Class of 2026 — the students who will join the University community in the fall. A number of peer institutions have made similar decisions, including Stanford, Cornell and the University of Pennsylvania.

Of course, we recognize that data on admissions and admitted students has value and we will continue to report it to state and federal authorities and include it in our Common Data Set. The fact that Princeton has to turn away many extremely well-qualified applicants each year – despite the coming expansion of the undergraduate class — is no secret and isn’t going to become one. The admission rate is — and will continue to be — available through sources like the U.S. Department of Education’s College Scorecard

But neither prospective students nor the University benefit from the admission process being boiled down in headlines to a single statistic like the admission rate.

We know from our interactions with prospective students, families, and counselors that highlighting an admission rate and framing the admissions process through a list of statistics instills anxiety and fear. We do not want to discourage prospective students from applying to Princeton because of its selectivity. 

Instead, we want prospective students to consider if Princeton is the right fit — if the resources we offer, the academic opportunities we provide will allow them to flourish at our residential research university. We want students to find a place of learning wherein their own contributions will be valued. And to know that Princeton’s generous need-based financial aid program might afford them the opportunity to graduate debt-free. This is how we approach our conversations with prospective students. By stepping away from promoting statistics like the admission rate, we are signaling that selectivity is not part of our pitch. 

In my blog post to the newly admitted early action group for the Class of 2026, I highlight our holistic process and the conversations my colleagues and I have around building a class. The Admission Office’s goal is to admit a diverse and dynamic group of students. We think about how students will interact with one another in the classroom and on the field, in the music practice room, and the residential college common room. We discuss how students might approach difficult circumstances, how they would interact with people with different perspectives, and how they might approach the University’s informal motto about the service of humanity. To do this, we read and discuss the essays, the letters of recommendation, interview write-ups, and any other pieces that have been shared with us.

But our work does not end on decision day, as admission statistics might suggest. With the help of our wonderful campus community, we spend the month of April officially introducing admitted students to Princeton — some for the very first time. And when we enroll the next class this summer, we will talk about their many talents as the newest members of the Princeton community.

A version of this blog post was first published as an op-ed in The Daily Princetonian on April 7, 2022.

 


It's That Time of Year


It’s that time of year. Decisions are about to be released for the first members of Princeton’s Class of 2026. All of the waiting is about to be over, and, as the date draws closer the anxiety levels rise.

While I wish that I could tell you to “not worry”, I recognize that that’s not realistic. Despite my being a college applicant a long time ago, I can still appreciate the nerves that come along with waiting for a decision.

The only other thing I can think of that might be helpful is to describe as best as I can our processes over the past few weeks and what the various decisions we made mean for you.

I want to assure you that I and my colleagues worked thoughtfully over the past several weeks to understand each applicant in the context of their home and school. We truly appreciate the extraordinary circumstances that the pandemic created and the challenges that were presented in terms of academic and extracurricular achievement. We tried our best to balance out those challenges and to see what each individual applicant was able to do in and outside of the classroom despite those challenges.

As we began to build Princeton’s next first-year class, we thought not only about the diversity of interests and thought that help make the campus a dynamic community, but also about the intangibles that make it one that allows each member to learn and grow. We thought about how students would interact with one another both in the classroom and on the field, in the music practice room and in the residential college common room. We discussed how students might approach difficult circumstances, how they would interact with people with different perspectives and how they might approach the University’s informal motto about the service of humanity. To do this, we read and discussed your essays, your letters of recommendation, your interview write ups and any other pieces that you shared with us.

In the end, we had to make some very difficult decisions as the pool continues to be a very talented one with more highly qualified students than we are able to admit.

Some of you will receive a letter saying that we have deferred a decision on your application. This means that we want to review your application again in the context of the overall pool and will give you a decision with our Regular Decision applicants. Again, I recognize that this decision prolongs your waiting. But I encourage you to ensure that your school counselor sends us your midyear grades when they are available. We don’t require any additional recommendation letters from you, but if there is someone who you think provides a different perspective, please feel free to upload the letter into your student portal. While there are no set numbers of students deferred from Restrictive Early Action who are admitted at Regular Decision, please know that it does happen.

And some students will learn that they have not been admitted to Princeton. Please know that after our careful consideration and based on what we already know about our larger pool, we realized that prolonging your wait to receive a decision was not going to be the best use of your time in this college admission process. It is by no means an indication of your ability to thrive in a college setting but rather a factor of our large pool. And while we know that the initial reaction might be one of disappointment, we hope that you will take the time to put your all into your other applications.

I am thrilled to be back at Princeton nearly three decades after I graduated and to be entrusted with this important work. I am also supremely grateful to every student who took the time to apply and who trusted my team with your thoughts, your achievements and your dreams for the future. I wish you all the best in this process and hope that you will take advantage of each and every opportunity offered to you wherever you choose to spend your postsecondary years.


Un día conmovedor y humilde


Hace treinta años, entré en el campus de Princeton como estudiante universitario de primera generación de un pequeño pueblo, con la meta de obtener un título en política y postularme a la facultad de derecho. Tenía un plan, uno que era tangible y que me llevaría a una ocupación que todos conocían.

Bueno, recibí mi licenciatura en política. Pero en algún lugar por el camino hacia el derecho constitucional y los agravios, me di cuenta de que la educación y, más específicamente, el acceso a la educación era lo que realmente me interesaba. Cambié el LSAT por el GRE y me inscribí en un programa de posgrado que encajaba mucho mejor.

La mayoría de las personas que trabajan en admisiones universitarias le dirán que no fue el sueño de su infancia. Ya he notado que no era el mío. Sin embargo, aquellos de nosotros que nos comprometemos con el trabajo generalmente nos damos cuenta de que, de hecho, es el trabajo de nuestros sueños. Para mí, ser un profesional de admisión me permite hacer el trabajo que amo: hablar con la gente, presentar oportunidades, disipar mitos sobre cómo se toman las decisiones y ayudar a construir una comunidad intencional para un campus universitario. El hecho de que pueda hacer este trabajo en el lugar que me convirtió en un adulto joven y ayudó a dar forma a mis ideas lo hace mucho más dulce.

Esta noche, publicaremos las decisiones de acción anticipada para la Clase de 2024, mi primer grupo de decisiones de postulantes como la decana de admisión de Princeton. Durante las últimas semanas, mi equipo y yo hemos leído y discutido los atributos que varios estudiantes traerían al campus. Me siento honrada por el talento que existe en este grupo de solicitantes. No hay escasez de mérito, es decir, la capacidad de tomar lo que uno aprende aquí en Princeton y aplicarlo para marcar la diferencia en el mundo. De hecho, hay una gran cantidad de méritos de todo tipo en el grupo, que es lo que dificulta la toma de decisiones para nuestro equipo y hace el proceso estresante para los estudiantes, sus familias y sus consejeros. Y los desarrollos recientes que implican la admisión a la universidad llevan el estrés a un nivel completamente nuevo.

Espero que, sin importar cuál sea su razón para estar en el sitio web de admisión de Princeton (o leer este blog), tenga en cuenta una conclusión importante: nuestro trabajo es aprender sobre nuestros solicitantes. Hacemos esto no solo a través de sus transcripciones y puntajes de pruebas, sino también a través de sus ensayos, cartas de recomendación y cómo pasa su tiempo fuera de clase. Aunque el rendimiento académico es importante, muchas piezas intangibles de “mérito” contribuyen al tejido académico y social de la Universidad. Buscamos la creatividad, la disposición a escuchar opiniones diferentes, la capacidad de asumir riesgos y la evidencia de un deseo de trabajar con otros, entre muchas otras cosas.

Mi objetivo es seguir utilizando este espacio como una oportunidad para proporcionar una idea del trabajo que hacemos. Quizás usted descubrirá que Princeton es un lugar sobre el que desea obtener más información. (En ese caso, le recomiendo que comience aquí en el blog estudiantil). Incluso si ese no es el caso, espero que podamos ayudar a que el proceso de admisión sea un poco más transparente y un poco menos aterrador.

Nota del editor: un artículo sobre la clase recién admitida de 2024 estará disponible esta noche a las 7 p.m. EST en la página de inicio de Princeton. Para leer futuras publicaciones de Dean Richardson, Clase de 1993, seleccione la categoría "From the Dean" en la página principal de nuestro blog.

Solicitando el ingreso a una universidad durante una pandemia global


Empecemos con lo obvio: ha sido un año extraño. El covid-19 ha transformado la vida de cada persona, sin excepción. Y las tensiones raciales que siguen absorbiendo los Estados Unidos han hecho las divisiones entre su gente más evidente que lo que hemos visto en mucho tiempo. A pesar de todo eso, estudiantes, familias y consejeros siguen teniendo que pensar en el proceso de la solicitud de ingreso a universidades. Por decir lo mínimo, es estresante.

Aunque no sea útil decirle a usted que no esté estresado, espero que le puedo ayudar a enfocarse en las cosas que puede controlar. Ante todo, por favor, tenga en cuenta que sabemos que este verano, otoño, y quizás la próxima primavera no van a ser como los otros. En todo el país y el mundo, muchas escuelas tenían que adaptarse a una nueva manera de operar, y es probable que esto vaya a durar por todo el otoño (por lo menos). Como consecuencia, no esperamos que sus clases, notas, y actividades parezcan como si fuera un año “normal.” Cada una de las plataformas que aceptamos para las solicitudes le dará la oportunidad (si usted quiere) de contextualizar la primavera y el verano pasados. Usted no debería sentir que tiene que escribir sobre solo los impactos de la pandemia en su solicitud, pero lo puede hacer si lo ha planeado. Sus consejeros y maestros también nos darán una idea de cómo su programa académico ha cambiado como resultado de covid-19.

En reconocimiento de los retos de este tiempo, hemos cambiado algunas cosas importantes en nuestro proceso este año.

  1. Para reducir la densidad del campus, no podemos ofrecer sesiones de información ni recorridos en persona hasta el fin del año calendario, por lo menos. Reconocemos que visitar un campus ayuda a los solicitantes a evaluar sus opciones, pero la salud y el bienestar públicos requieren que no ofrezcamos actividades en el campus durante este tiempo. Lo alentamos a aprovecharse de una de nuestras sesiones de información virtual dirigida por un funcionario de admisión.
  2. Hemos pausado nuestro proceso de Acción Temprana este año y vamos a tener una sola fecha del 1 de enero. Creemos que esta decisión dará a los estudiantes y personal de preparatorias más tiempo para preparar y entregar los materiales necesarios.
  3. Durante esta temporada de solicitudes (de 2020 a 2021), también hemos pausado nuestro requisito de exámenes. Los estudiantes que toman el SAT o el ACT y quieren entregar los resultados, seguirán teniendo la oportunidad de hacerlo. Sin embargo, las solicitudes entregadas sin ellos serán vistas completas. Los que no entregan un resultado no tendrán una desventaja. Como en años previos, no requerimos los exámenes de sujetos del SAT.

Como hacemos cada año, mi equipo y yo revisamos las solicitudes de cada estudiante, teniendo en cuenta toda la información que contiene. No solo nos importan sus éxitos académicos (aunque nuestro trabajo es asegurar que todos los estudiantes aceptados sienten que son exitosos académicamente aquí). También estamos encargados de traer estudiantes que van a formar una comunidad dinámica, basada en discusiones respetuosas, que ayuda a cada estudiante a expandir su conocimiento.

En este año, donde hay mucha incertidumbre, nosotros estamos especialmente comprometidos a nuestra evaluación holística. Con ese fin en cuenta, usted verá que las preguntas en nuestro formulario suplementario le piden que se enfoque en dos temas principales: 1) sus intereses académicos y 2) sus pensamientos sobre comunidad. Nuestro equipo ha pensado mucho en sobre qué queremos aprender de usted a través de su solicitud, y hemos desarrollado estas preguntas como resultado.

Reconocemos que este año es extraño para preparatorias, universidades, estudiantes y, sí, funcionarios de admisión (y va a continuar siendo así). Sepa que estamos unidos a medida que avanzamos durante este tiempo. Lo aliento a cuidarse en la mejor manera posible, ser genuino en su solicitud para que podamos conocer el verdadero USTED, y estar en contacto con nosotros si tiene dudas y preocupaciones.

Los mejores deseos este otoño.

So You're Applying to College During a Global Pandemic...


Let’s start with the obvious—it has been an unusual year. No one has been spared the upheaval caused by COVID-19. And the racial unrest that continues to engulf the United States has made divisions among its people more evident than they have been in a long time. And yet, in these turbulent times, students and families and counselors must still think about the process of applying to college. It’s stressful, to say the least.

While it’s not helpful for me to tell you to not be stressed, I hope that I can help you to focus on the things that are in your control. First and foremost, please remember that we know the spring, summer and fall will be unlike any we have known. Schools across the country and around the world had to adapt to a new way of doing things, and that will likely last throughout the fall term (at least). As a result, we are not expecting your classes, grades and activities to look like they might have in a “normal” year. Each of the application platforms we use will give you an opportunity (if you want it) to give us some context about this past spring and summer. You shouldn’t feel like you have to only write about the impacts of the pandemic in your application. But, the opportunity to do so is there should you decide to use it. Your counselors and teachers will also give us an idea of how your academic program might have changed as a result of COVID-19.

We have made several important changes to our process this year in recognition of the challenging times we’re living in.

  1. In an effort to de-densify the campus, we will not be hosting in-person information sessions or tours at least through the end of the calendar year. While we recognize that coming to campus can help potential applicants evaluate their options, public health and welfare dictates that we cannot offer activities on campus at this time. We encourage you to take advantage of one of our officer-led information sessions available on our Virtual Visit page.
  2. We have paused our Early Action application process for this year and will have just one deadline of January 1. We believe that this will give students and secondary school staff more opportunities to complete the necessary application materials.
  3. We have also paused our standardized testing requirement for the 2020-21 application cycle. Students who sit for the SAT or the ACT and wish to submit their score will have the option to do so. However, applications without test scores will be considered complete. Students who do not submit test scores will not be at a disadvantage. As with previous years, we do not require subject tests.

As we do every year, my team and I will review each student’s entire application and take into account all of the information it contains. We’re not just concerned with your academic achievements (though our job is to ensure that all admitted students can feel academically successful here). We are also charged with bringing in students who will form a dynamic community, rooted in respectful dialogue, that will help each student further their knowledge.

In this year, where everything feels like it’s on shaky ground, we are especially committed to following through on our thorough, holistic review. To that end, you will see that the questions on our supplement ask you to focus on two main themes: 1) your areas of academic interest and 2) your thoughts about community. Our team did a significant amount of thinking about what we hope to learn about you through your application and developed these questions as a result.

We recognize that this is (and will continue to be) a strange year for high schools, universities, students, and, yes, admission officers. Know that we are all in this together as we move forward in these new circumstances. I encourage you to take care of yourself as best you can, to be genuine in your application so that we can get to know YOU, and to be in touch with questions and concerns.

All best wishes as you dive into this fall.

 

 


Un año como ningún otro


Más tarde hoy publicaremos las decisiones para los solicitantes a la Clase de Princeton de 2024.

Este año ha sido como ningún otro. Además de ser mi primer año como decana de admisión aquí en mi alma mater, la pandemia mundial ha desarraigado la vida tal como la conocemos. Hace solo unas semanas, la comunidad estaba llena de estudiantes, futuros estudiantes, profesores y personal. Ahora es mucho más tranquilo. Nuestros estudiantes tuvieron que ajustar su semestre de primavera y abandonar el campus para permitir la seguridad de todos.

Nuestro equipo de admisión también se retiró a nuestros rincones separados del área metropolitana de Princeton, donde continuamos leyendo y evaluando las voces que llegaron a través de los miles de solicitudes que recibimos. Estamos agradecidos de haber terminado las reuniones de nuestro comité y de haber tenido la oportunidad de discutir el increíble talento que encontramos en el grupo de solicitantes.

Ahora es el momento de compartir las decisiones que hemos tomado con los estudiantes, las familias y los consejeros escolares que han esperado ansiosamente este día. Mi consejo en este momento impulsado por la angustia es detenerse, respirar y reconocer que no importa qué decisión reciba; no es un juicio sobre quién es o qué logrará. Supongo que durante las últimas semanas ha recibido buenas noticias, algunas no tan buenas y algunas noticias con las que no sabe muy bien qué hacer. Está bien. Todos hemos estado en esa posición. Lo importante es poner todo en perspectiva, evaluar sus opciones y tomar su propia decisión sobre dónde pasar los próximos cuatro años de su vida.

Estar de vuelta aquí en Princeton ha sido una maravilla para mí. Y no es solo porque es el lugar donde hice recuerdos para toda la vida y descubrí quién soy en este mundo. También se trata de las personas: un equipo de admisión increíble, así como de los solicitantes que confían en nosotros al compartir sus historias a través de ensayos y entrevistas. Tenga en cuenta que, si usted es un solicitante, no importa qué decisión reciba más tarde hoy; estamos agradecidos por el placer de conocerle.

Quédense bien, amigos. Y mis mejores deseos mientras toman sus propias decisiones en las próximas semanas.

Decana de Admisión


A Year Like No Other


Later today we will release decisions for applicants to Princeton’s Class of 2024.

This year has been like no other. Aside from it being my first year as dean of admission here at my alma mater, the world wide pandemic has uprooted life as we know it. Just a few weeks ago, the community was bustling with students, prospective students, faculty and staff. Now it’s a lot quieter, our students had to adjust their spring semester and vacate campus to allow for the safety of all.

Our team also retreated to our separate corners of the greater Princeton area where we continued to read and assess the voices that came through the thousands of applications we received. We are thankful to have finished our committee meetings and to have had the chance to discuss the amazing talent we found in the applicant pool.

Now it’s time to share the decisions we’ve made with the students, families and school counselors whom have anxiously awaited this day. My advice at this angst driven time is to stop, breathe, and recognize that no matter what decision you receive, it’s not a judgement on who you are or what you will accomplish. My guess is that during the course of these past few weeks you have received some good news, some not so good news and some news that you don’t quite know what to do with. That’s okay. We’ve all been there. What’s important is to put it all into perspective, evaluate your choices and make your own decision about where to spend the next four years of your life.

Being back here at Princeton has been a blast for me. And it’s not just because it’s the place where I’ve made lifelong memories and discovered who I am in this world. It’s also about the people—an amazing admission team as well as the applicants who place their trust in us by sharing their stories through essays and interviews. Please know that, if you are an applicant, no matter what decision you receive later today, we are thankful for the pleasure of getting to know you.

Stay well, friends. And best wishes as you make your own decisions over the next few weeks.

Karen Richardson ‘93

Dean of Admission


La fecha límite ha pasado ... ¿Y ahora qué?


Es posterior al 1 de enero y (¡ojalá!) usted ha enviado las partes de su solicitud ... eso incluye cualquier plataforma de aplicación que elija usar y las preguntas necesarias, así como sus ensayos. Debe tener en cuenta que la mayoría de las universidades aceptarán las piezas “externas” de su solicitud (recomendaciones de consejeros universitarios y maestros, portafolios de arte, informes de entrevistas) después de la fecha límite, siempre que haya creado una solicitud dentro del plazo. Por lo tanto, no hay necesidad de preocuparse si esa recomendación del maestro no llegó el 1 de enero.

Y ahora, comienza la espera. Reconocemos que no es fácil para los solicitantes, ya que nos tomamos las próximas semanas para revisar las solicitudes y hacer una decisión. Lleva tiempo, no solo por el volumen de solicitudes que recibimos, sino porque realmente estamos dando los pasos necesarios para conocerle a través de lo que ha escrito, lo que nos ha dicho es importante para usted dentro y fuera del aula, y lo que las personas a las que les ha pedido que escriban cartas tienen que decir sobre usted. A través de este proceso holístico, queremos saber qué tipo de estudiante y qué tipo de miembro de la comunidad será. Consideramos todos esos factores a medida que construimos una comunidad intencional para el campus.

¡Me doy cuenta de que esto no facilita la espera! Pero, hay algunas cosas que sugiero que haga durante este período:

  1. Disfrute de su último año de secundaria: es el único que obtendrá. Es probable que el otoño haya sido un poco estresante para hacer sus solicitudes, pero aún tiene la primavera para disfrutar de las amistades y actividades que solo vienen con ser un estudiante de cuarto año.
  2. Junto con lo anterior, mantenga la cabeza en sus estudios. Lo sé, ¡parece un poco contradictorio! Pero las universidades quieren ver que mantenga las buenas calificaciones que presentó cuando aplicó durante todo el último año.
  3. Siga participando en sus actividades fuera de clase. Aunque las universidades no verificarán esto, las formas en que elige pasar su tiempo son parte de lo que le convierte en quién es.
  4. Finalmente⁠—y éste es probablemente el más difícil de todos⁠—déjelo pasar. El proceso ahora está fuera de su alcance y ha hecho todo lo que puede hacer. Intente no preocuparse por el resultado. Sepa que la decisión, sin importar cuál sea, habrá sido cuidadosamente considerada por la oficina de admisión. Espero que sepa que terminará en un campus que sea adecuado para usted.

En este período de espera, le deseo lo mejor. Esperamos volver a contactarle pronto.
