- Notes
- Disappointed as Princeton was one of my top choices. My standardized scores are decent (low 80th percentiles for general GRE and 60th percentile for GRE subject - sat for both GREs only once). However, I have three years of undergraduate research experience (including 3 winters and 1 summer) with an honors college thesis precisely in the field that I applied for so I do not understand their argument about the lack of a "sound match". I worked as a TA and a tutor for 6 semesters and graduated a semester early (for personal reasons that I explained in my personal statement) with a 3.91 major and a 3.74 cumulative GPA (because of honors classes). I presented at 4 conferences (2 at my school and 2 NYURS - 3 oral and 1 poster). I don't get it. Good luck to all those still waiting.
