<p>SlightM, I am not sure that MIT is more prestigious as Princeton as you claim.</p>
<p>^It honestly depends on the field. The econ/classics departments at P, for example, have an edge. Engineering (except ORFE maybe), MIT wins – but P has excellent engineering.</p>
<p>^JohnAdams: For engineering, math, or science - I will give it the nod.</p>
<p>iamtbh, how is that inferiority complex coming along?</p>
<p>ever thought that if you had written something different in the application you could have been admitted to Princeton?</p>
<p>by the way, nothing more low-life than coming on these boards and specifically posting only negative stuff abougt one particular school…</p>
<p>good luck with that part-time night school though. Isn’t it time you crack those elementary arithmetic books for the week?</p>
<p>^For math, absolutely not. Princeton’s department is world-renowned and has been for a very long time. MIT, Harvard, and Princeton have the best math departments in the world.</p>
<p>^You are right, but engineering still gets the nod for MIT.</p>
<p>slightM, I am a ChE and at the time that I was deciding, Princeton was as good or better than MIT in ChE. Now it is slightly behind…</p>
<p>you mentioned Physics and Math. Shall we compare Princeton with MIT in Physics and Math?</p>
<p>MIT is a breeding ground for geniuses. Princeton is a breeding ground for lazy descendants of aristocrats who bank on their family name and wish to dine separately from the riff-raff. (That’s why the Eating Club fees are so outrageous.) </p>
<p>Approximately 60% of Princeton legacies get admitted. What a joke. And some people have problems with “affirmative action.”</p>

<p>How’s that Princetonian ■■■■■■■■ (currently 11.46 posts per day) coming along?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I didn’t apply. As an international student, I am fully aware that HYSM’s global reputation far exceeds that of Princeton.</p>
<p>

<p>Let’s neutralize you right here. Citation please? Or leave.</p>
<p>Man, it’s so easy to shut you down. 
All you have to ask for is a bit of evidence, and then you poof!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Welcome to the real world. Just in case you didn’t notice, it isn’t what you know, but who you know…to use a cliched sentence.</p>
<p>ha!, iamtbh, the Princeton reject with the inferiority complex posts again:</p>
<p>"MIT is a breeding ground for geniuses. Princeton is a breeding ground for lazy descendants of aristocrats who bank on their family name and wish to dine separately from the riff-raff. (That’s why the Eating Club fees are so outrageous.) </p>
<p>Approximately 60% of Princeton legacies get admitted. What a joke. And some people have problems with “affirmative action.” "</p>
<p>iamtbh, tell us more about this:</p>

<p>What needs to be said, “John Adams”?</p>
<p>@ Baelor: </p>
<p>Only inarticulate posters rely so heavily on “emoticons.”</p>
<p>For humanities, Princeton=Stanford>MIT
For social sciences such as psycology, politics, and sociology, Stanford > Princeton > MIT
For econ, MIT> Princeton > Stanford, with tiny difference.
For math, Princeton>MIT>Stanford, with tiny difference
For physics, all 3 are the same.
For other science fields, such as chemistry, biology, earth science, and computer science,
Stanford=MIT>Princeton
For engineering, MIT=Stanford>Princeton.</p>

<p>Prove this claim or leave:</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This is an objective (albeit false) statement. Each time you post without justifying it, you undermine your own credibility, however much of a joke it may be, and therefore no one sees you as anything but a ■■■■■. If you want to bash Princeton, do so legitimately.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>So old. So tired. So Princetonian.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The proof is in the pudding. Have you ever read your own posts?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I must qualify this statement. This refers to the ED admit rate (for legacies) when Princeton still had ED.</p>
