<p>I noticed that, from Priceton's Career Services web site,
Princeton</a> Office of Career Services 2010-2011 Annual Report</p>
<p><a href="http://www.princeton.edu/career/undergrads/student-survey-data/%5B/url%5D">http://www.princeton.edu/career/undergrads/student-survey-data/</a></p>
<p>that only 42% are employed.
11.6% are doing year-long eintership
10.7% seeking employment
4% part time employment.
These are very disappointing numbers.</p>
<p>In addition, only 22 entered law school somewhere and 38 entered medical schools.
I heard that each year about 30 Yale graduates enter Yale law school and 20 enter Yale Med. </p>
<p>Anyone can tell me why Princeton's unemployment rate is so high ?
and
Why so many Princeton's graduates are rejected from Law/Med schools ?</p>
<p>Many people claimed that Princeton is a undergraduate focused school. However, what is the point of getting great undergraduate education if you become unemployed and/or rejected from top graduate schools ?</p>
<p>Only 10% of students were still seeking employment; the rest were employed, attending grad school, or otherwise had post-grad plans. </p>
<p>It seems like you’re not adding together all the post-grad opportunities and are just looking at the employment numbers. Many more have internships–most of which, I imagine, are the sort that lead to jobs–and are headed to grad school. Only a tenth of the class is still searching. What’s the problem?</p>
<p>And the Phoenix (aka jomjom, German car) rises again.</p>
<p>Please, let’s not take “youpika” seriously. Feeding the beast only encourages it.</p>
<p>I second you lefthandofdog, This is yet another of the multiple incarnations of jomjom that always appears this time of year.</p>
<p>The GERMANCAR is back!</p>
<p>Princeton likes to claim that it’s so focused on undergrads, but it’s a national tier one research university like all the other ones. If anything, not having a medical school is a severe disadvantage in terms of resources.</p>
<p>Yes. Princeton’s pre-med, pre-law, pre-MBA programs are pretty bad because of lack of medical school, law school and business school. and grad deflation. </p>
<p>Top med, law, business , PhD program strongly prefer applicants from their own undergraduate college. Why do you think that so many Princeton graduates fail to enter top graduate program ? and unemployed ?</p>
