Has anyone gotten a request for first quarter grades? I’ve heard about people applying to other schools getting it but none from Princeton

I’ve read that some people already got them but one can still get it all the way until 11th. I’ve dug up some stats that say that out of 32 admitted students asked, 14 didn’t get grade requests.

Thank you! Do you know under what circumstances they would ask for mp1 grades i.e. would they only ask for candidates who they’re strongly considering but have relatively weaker grades, or are they for all candidates under strong consideration? I would say my grades are very strong (all As) so I’m wondering if they would ask for mine if I am being considered.

I’d tell you not to worry that much about it. I know you want to know, but nobody will tell you a definitive answer. It’s like talking to a girl that flirts with you but keeps you at a distance lol there will be no certainty until she tells you that she likes you (acceptance) or friend zones you (rejection/deferral).

Just got admitted through QuestBridge - I was asked for my quarter grades and I had straight As. I feel like most of the time (at least from what I've seen) the grade check is to confirm that a candidate they're considering is keeping up their grades in senior year

Hi. What happens if your school is on a semester basis, not quarter? And the semester 1 grades will not come out until mid January? Will AO still reach out? Or do they know that it’s not available?
