<p>Thank you for posting this. Our daughter is likely to apply to Princeton next year and I think this will really interest her. </p>

<p>Are there any students or alumni currently on the Princeton board here who would share their experiences with this program?</p>

<p>I’m afraid that you won’t find any alumni who can answer your question as the program isn’t old enough to have any. On the other hand, there may be a current student on these boards who has participated and who might respond. Do we have a former Bridge Year participant out there?</p>

<p>As a Bridge Year parent, I can say that this program has been superb for my child. Very well organized, and an incredible experience. Feel free to private message me (and I will try to figure out how to work the p.m. thing!) :)</p>
