• Princeton’s postdocs and scholars are formally rallying for unionization
• This Week in Sports

Class of 2028 admitted: The University offered admission to the Class of 2028 on Ivy Day, traditionally the day Princeton accepts the majority of its next year’s class, marking a historic first in the absence of affirmative action since the US Supreme Court struck it down in 2023. Despite the lack of published data for the accepted class, students express mixed feelings about the change and its impact on their applications and future experiences at Princeton, with some highlighting their diverse backgrounds and achievements. Prospective students share their excitement and relief upon receiving acceptance letters, reflecting on their journeys and aspirations for their Princeton experience, while the admissions process continues with Regular Decision being the final round for this cycle.
