Princeton Early Admissions
Princeton did not disclose its admissions’ numbers until the end of the yearly cycle. Princeton canceled its single-choice early action (SCEA) program for the Class of 2025 and 2026.
Princeton offered admission to 791 students in its early pool to the Class of 2024 (although the university coyly refrains from telling us how many students applied, suggesting it, too, saw a smaller pool). Of those admitted, 48 percent students who self-identify as students of color, 16 percent are from low income backgrounds, 13 percent are first generation college students, and 11 percent are international students.
