<p>I'm a Princeton legacy, but I like Yale a tiny bit more. My stats: 2380, 4.0 hardest curriculum, one very very unusual and advanced extracurricular + Prez of 7 clubs at school (book club, cross country, math team, etc). Essays read by several English teachers, said absolutely perfect and represent my essence in writing. So, should I apply to Princeton or Yale early?</p>
<p>also, teacher recs both said I was the best they’ve ever seen</p>
<p>Oh, and I have a sibling in grad school at Yale</p>
<p>Nobody can answer this question but you. Notwithstanding the serial club presidencies, you seem well qualified for either school.</p>
<p>As you probably already know, Princeton still has one of the strongest preferences for legacies among the Ivies. If you do not apply early, you lose most of this advantage. If your preference for Yale is only “tiny” then you obviously should weigh whether it is enough to offset losing your legacy advantage at Princeton. </p>
