Selection statistics
Not published in this guide: comparable statistics for the chosen programme and international-applicant category have not been verified. A university-wide admission rate must not be treated as an individual Kazakhstan applicant’s probability.
An overall admission rate is not your personal probability. No exam score guarantees admission.
Tuition and full budget
Estimated full 2026/27 cost: USD 94,624 per academic year before aid. Check included items and individual additional expenses.
Funding and obligations
Check and complete financial-aid requirements separately from the academic application under Princeton rules. Demonstrated need matters rather than an arbitrary SAT target.
Preparation and application route
1. Choose a Princeton University programme and confirm that your qualification is eligible. 2. Check subject and language requirements in the official source. 3. Prepare translated school documents and the required results. 4. Work out the full budget and check any separate funding application before submitting. 5. Apply under your intake rules, then check offer conditions and visa requirements.
Illustrative example — hypothetical scenario
Hypothetical scenario: a student at a Russian-medium school applies to Princeton for fall 2027. They check English-test requirements even though SAT/ACT is optional for that intake. The SAT decision depends on the likely usefulness of a result and available time, without assuming an automatic advantage or rejection. Financial-aid documents are prepared separately.
