<p>I'm a white male living in NJ, and I intend to apply to Princeton. A lot of people tell me that "Princeton hates kids from Jersey." Has anyone else heard this? Does anyone know how true this statement could be?</p>
<p>Although I have no opinion on the issue, I can assure you that Princeton does not have a monopoly on this feeling.</p>
<p>im from new jersey too, but if your application is strong enough they wont hold that against you. princeton high school admits between 10-20 people per year...so while the scales might be tipped against your favor, it wont make much of a difference with all of the existing difficulty of getting in. but yea, princeton is my first choice too! i guess we'll find out next year if the rumors are true...</p>
