Princeton makes offers to 8.39 percent of applicants in record admission cycle
Princeton University has offered admission to 2,282 students, or 8.39 percent, of the record 27,189 applications for the class of 2015 in what may be the most selective admission process in the University’s history. This compares with Princeton’s final admission rates of 8.8 percent [...]
Princeton University will reinstate an early admission program, beginning next year with the class that will enter Princeton in September 2012.
