I think it's over for us people who haven't received an invite yet

Hi, any idea when they usually start rolling out the admits? Is it going to be very close to the result deadline?

Nice job of spotting that piece of data. That Fall 2024 application number will be reflected on our next rankings.
They will increase the size of the program so expect to see 40-50 people in their incoming cohort.
We can somewhat track the trend by the data in our Tracker so I strongly encourage everyone who applied to Princeton to add their data there.

I was wrong in expecting a higher class size.
Even they received over 1000 applicants, they admitted only 26 students in the Fall 2024 incoming class. Probably interviewed 100 people.

Hey Andy,

I've asked this before, but for the sake of clarity, I figured I'd ask again. QuantNet has a line graph for Princeton that tracks the number of applications per admission cycle. On that chart, under 2024, it says 574 total applications. But that is actually for students who enrolled in Fall 2023 right?

Correct. The data you see there is following the naming of the yearly ranking.
2024 ranking tracks data for Fall 2023 incoming students.
This is true and standard practice for most rankings. We surveyed and released the 2024 ranking in late 2023 and the latest admission/employment numbers available at that time is for 2023 class.
I know this may cause some confusion so I may have to put some text on the graph.

I was wrong again. Or is it two wrongs make a right.
The class size for incoming Fall 2024 is 35 despite the picture showing 26. Many people didn't show up for the picture day.
This was confirmed by a current student in the program.
This is the second largest cohort since record keeping began in 2007. The largest cohort was 43 for Fall 2012.
