<p>On average, how many people from Hong Kong and India get into Princeton each year?</p>
<p>Millions!</p>
<p>Google it… somewhere on P’s website is a pdf with all the info about last years class</p>
<p>Each year - undergrads ?
Last year 7 applicants were accepted into Princeton from India</p>
<p>I had this discussion in the Stanford forum as well but the point I brought up was the following:</p>
<p>There are lot of Asian Americans at these very competitive schools of which a good proportion consists of American Indians. On the other hand, there are very few international Indians (7 at Princeton, 6 at Stanford), so wouldn’t it be a valid assumption that the ORM status only applies to American Indians, not the internationals?</p>
<p>No No. It does apply to international Indians as well.
American Indians + Int’l Indians + Chinese (lots of chinese) together comprise the * Asian * category. This is an ORM.</p>
<p>Why are so few accepted then, relative to the the domestic Indian applicants, because I’m sure a very large number apply?</p>
<p>Oh I took ORM’s meaning in a completely wrong way and I misinterpreted your previous post.
I follow your point now.</p>

<p>Because schools want their international students to come from all corners of the world, not just from India and China. I’m sure there are unofficial quotas for students from different continents/regions. That sucks for people from China and India especially, as there are literally hundreds, if not thousands, of students from these countries applying to some schools–all of them competing for a handful of places.</p>
