<p>A guy is getting recruited to Princeton from my school. He got flown in all expense paid for a weekend. He said Princeton has the hottest girls.</p>
<p><em>waves back to Zantedeschia</em></p>
<p>Man, just like old times. At least now P'ton can lead the Ivy pack. Seeing us in like 6th place on the old forum was always depressing. Tigers #1 all the way, baby!</p>
<p>And I so want to be a post whore. I mean, if I can't be a real-life whore, I've gotta be one at something ;-) Good times, good times</p>
<p>What sport?</p>
<p>What is he getting recruited for? </p>
<p>People here are crazy...when the Princeton admissions officer came to visit my school and asked if we had gone to visit, everyone was like "yea i visited three times" "yea i visited twice and had an overnight" "yea my sister goes there so I go all the time" "both my parents went there so I practically live on campus" I mean geez, jersey is close, but is that really necessary?</p>
<p>actually, two people not one. Crew.</p>
<p>lol yay to being post whores then. I wish they carried over from the old board though, i would have like ten thousand posts then.</p>
<p>Haha, that's funny. Whenever someone at my school finds out I'm applying to Princeton, they just say, "Whoa," and their eyes get really big and cloud over. It's the funniest thing. We're having a P'ton info session up in Dallas next Sunday, so I can't wait to go. Sheez.</p>
<p>Whenever, I say I'm applying to Yale... my classmates usually say "Why not Harvard?" Then, I say why? And they're like "because you're a minority, and first in the class". I usually say something to the effect that AA doesn't work for Canadians.</p>
<p>I'm just wondering, but why does your prstats page say "Chi-Town" for location?</p>
<p>That begs another question.. why does the general masses think that Harvard is better than yale and Yale is better than Princeton.</p>
<p>I live in Chi-town. You wouldn't get it unless you knew where I lived.</p>
<p>That's actually a good question--a question that I stopped trying to answer a long time ago. After I got over the whole prestige vs. prestige thing, I found how little it really mattered. I love Princeton. Yale's a great school. Harvard is too. Different strokes for different folks, though, so you have differences of opinion, I suppose.</p>
<p>H,Y, and P are right up there to most people, but some see Harvard as above everything else because that's typically the first college they hear about.</p>
<p>MDawg, are you applying to any HBCUs?</p>
<p>I'm the only person applying to Princeton ED at my school. I go to an international school, so a lot of kids go to European universities.</p>
<p>I don't think so david. I thought about Howard or Morehouse, but I really want some diversity. Nothing against those schools or anything, but I prefer a mixture. I'm still thinking about applying to one of those two though.</p>
<p>Eight people from my school are applying ED to princeton. My grade only has 115 people. And many of those people have extensive legacies. Ugh, so depressing!</p>
<p>I was considering applying to Morehouse. I actually gave up, when I couldn't an application form anywhere on their site. I even sent the admissions office an email, which I still haven't received a reply to... And this was about a month ago. </p>
<p>I just checked your list, and I realized that our schools are completely identical. But you'll probably get into Princeton. So... our lists won't be similar. Your SAT scores are really good and AA will give you a nice healthy boost. Just curious, are you applying for financial aid?</p>
<p>That's unfortunate about Morehouse. I'm sure they'd love to have you, and they'd offer quite a lot of money.</p>
<p>If the 2nd part is also to me: I am applying for financial aid (I'll post more on this in a minute or so). I'm also trying to improve my scores a lot, so I don't have to worry about AA. I know it'll probably be taken into consideration, but I want to improve just for myself. I want to know that I earned it (in my opinion). I'd really love to get into Princeton, but if for some reason I can't, I hope I can get into another good school.</p>
<p>MDawg, that's exactly the way I've approached the whole admissions process, especially to Princeton. I want to get in because I know I had the "total package," not just because of AA. Hence the reason why I'm retaking my SAT I as well. Best of luck. :-)</p>
