<p>I sincerely doubt you have a Stanford MBA. The ones I know are pioneering entrepreneurs, founders of revolutionary hi-tech firms, venture capitalists, Fortune 500 executives, etc. They do not have the time to write 11.22 posts a day in a COLLEGE website. Based on the insipid arrogance and haughtiness of your posts, I do believe you went to Princeton undergrad, however.</p>
<p>milly,
I’m choosing between Stanford and Princeton too. I’m not as worried about the grade deflation at Princeton as I am with the social atmosphere… I get the vibe that it’s more competitive, more conservative, and… dare I say it, more elitist than Stanford. I do feel that in terms of academics, Princeton wins… But Stanford’s location is a huge draw (it’s close to home).
I wasn’t offered aid by either school, so they’re equal there. For you, I think I’d agree with the person who suggested that you go to Princeton to save for law school. If you’re on the fence, I feel like money is the best incentive.</p>
<p>iamtbh, there you go again…attacking</p>
<p>of course I have an MBA from Stanford business school…</p>
<p>in those days, by the way, we didn’t have as many International Asian students like yourself, buy you wouldn’t have had a chance to get accepted any way…</p>

<p>I am still skeptical. But if true, why don’t you do something with it instead of writing 11.70 posts per day on an internet forum for high school/college kids and their parents?</p>

<p>Well, that goes without saying. If you went for your MBA, let’s say, a mere decade ago, I was only 9.</p>

<p>I don’t know if you have visited Princeton but if you haven’t, I think that you will be pleasantly surprised. It is a beautiful campus, located in a very attractive suburban town. The campus is literally on the main street of the town and although there’s a gate to set off the campus, it does not have a “gated” community feel (and the campus is open to anyone who wants to come in). </p>
<p>As to the types of students, like Stanford, there are all different types. The students are overall very liberal, although there are definitely conservatives on campus (which I think is a positive, because college is a time to open yourself up to all different viewpoints). Students generally are pretty laid-back and happy and most of them truly love the school. The student body is extremely diverse (approximately 32% are American minorities and approximately 10% are international students) and approximately 56% of students receive financial aid. I think that the reputation of Princeton as being “elitist” stems from historical reputation and has very little to do with current day Princeton. The kids who got accepted to and attend Princeton are the same ones who got accepted to and attend Stanford, Yale, Harvard etc. </p>
<p>As to your concern about grade deflation, I think you are selling yourself short. If you have been accepted at Princeton and Stanford, you can do the work at Princeton.</p>
<p>If you can visit for admitted students day, you should, but if not, I truly think that you would be delighted with your undergraduate experience at Princeton.</p>
<p>Thank you, jbk151 and midatlmom!</p>

<p>My friend at Stanford said their recruiting for finance in the east coast (NYC) absolutely blows, all he gets are interviews for SF and Menlo Park regional offices</p>
