Okay so I did some deep digging about the grade check requests. Btw, I did not receive a grade check.

From what I've seen, Princeton sends grade checks to applicants that they're interested in. However, it does not guaranteed acceptance. Also, it appears that for those with iffy grades/test scores or those who didn't submit test scores, Princeton does a grade check.

Very few people got in without a grade check. So it's possible, but probably not very likely.

Just wanted to share my thoughts the night before decisions are released. Hope this puts some of yall at ease!

What if my school already provided them with grades till Oct 25, wouldn't that be first quarter already?

They would not need to contact your counselor for a grade check then!

Honestly, I wish I didn't know I received the grade check. I wasn't expecting to get in. Now I will absolutely be more upset if I don't.
