Is this a legacy?

<p>^It’s also possible that they were smart enough to realize that they will have difficulty competing with the rest of us and attended lower ranked institutions. I would not want my son or daughter to go to Princeton if I knew he or she would not be able to get a good enough GPA at Princeton to follow their dreams. </p>

<p>If you think no one comes to Princeton and gets their dreams crushed, I would have to disagree. I have friends who talk about having their dreams crushed because of the difficulty here.</p>

<p>My dad went there. I am a legacy-yes, but my dad ended up getting a masters from a state university. He is now a highly paid computer programmer, but he doesn’t even use his Princeton degree. He always says he had an amazing time at Princeton, but had trouble with the academics. It makes him feel bad, because Michelle Obama was in his same class.</p>
