Question

Who Can Apply

*First-year fall applicants

*Transfer students through the transfer admission process

How to Apply

For each class, we bring together a varied mix of high-achieving, intellectually gifted students from diverse backgrounds to create an exceptional learning community.

We care about what students have accomplished in and out of the classroom. The process is highly selective. In recent years, we’ve offered admission to less than 7 percent of applicants.

As you prepare your application, help us to appreciate your talents, academic accomplishments and personal achievements. We’ll ask for your transcript (成绩单) and recommendations, and we will want to know more than just the statistics in your file. Tell us your story. Show us what’s special about you. Tell us how you would seize the academic and nonacademic opportunities at Princeton and contribute to the Princeton community. Above all, please write in a style that reflects your own voice.

Princeton accepts the Coalition Application and Common Application. Princeton treats them all equally. To apply, you will need to submit online either the Coalition Application or the Common Application, plus the Princeton Supplement.

When to Apply

You have two choices for applying to Princeton for first-year admission—single-choice early action or regular decision. Before you begin preparing your application, we strongly encourage you to review our standardized testing policy, which includes detailed information regarding our standardized testing requirements.

*Single-choice Early Action, also known as restrictive early action (If you have thoroughly researched your college options and have decided that Princeton is your first choice)

Nov. 1 Application Due

Nov. 9 Princeton Financial Aid Application Due

*Regular Decision

细节理解题。在How to Apply项目的第三段中，由“We’ll ask for your transcript (成绩单) and recommendations, and we will want to know more than just the statistics in your file.”可知，校方要求申请者提供成绩单和推荐信，而且想要了解除了档案中的这部分数据之外更多的关于申请者的信息。即，申请者提供有关学业成就的数据是基本要求之一。故选C。

细节理解题。从How to Apply项目的第二段的最后一句“In recent years, we’ve offered admission to less than 7 percent of applicants.”可知，最近几年，Princeton录取的学生不到申请者的7%。也就是说，被Princeton录取的几率是相对较低的，因此选C。
