<p>Engineerjw - My son is a sophomore and my comments are based on what he has told me. I think your father is right about the high level of academic preparation of Princeton students. To use your father’s term, most P students are “killers”, but not all. They’re not super competitive, but they are super smart, and generally very well prepared for P’s rigorous academics.</p>
<p>I think your father is wrong regarding the rich/snobby factor. Sure, there are some people from very wealthy families and no doubt some snobs, but my son is neither and feels right at home.</p>
<p>Ignore jomjomjom above. A year or so ago there was a poster here (jomjom) who bashed Princeton constantly. Jomjomjom is either a reincarnation of jomjom or a copycat or parody of the original ■■■■■.</p>
