<p>Well I didn’t say anything about the prestige and vigor of the school. I only mentioned admit rate.</p>
<p>Admit rates tell you how well a school markets itself. Some schools spend a great deal of money attracting applications. As a result many of those schools attract unqualified or “junk” apps. Wash. U. is but one example. It is for this reason most credible evaluators of educational quality, ignore application counts. MIT, Chicago and to some extent Princeton, have long been noted as self-selecting schools (attracting higher levels of qualified applications). Most American ranking publications, cognnizant of this, reward schools of this type.
Another method of judging the quality of the applicant/student is how highly prized he/she is when graduating. In this area Princeton again leads Yale, Harvard and the rest of the Ivy League.</p>

<p>Princeton kids are happier than Yale kids?</p>
<p>pick yale.</p>
<p>… so i have a tiny speck more chance of going to my dream school :)</p>
<p>“Princeton kids are happier than Yale kids?”</p>
<p>Answer:</p>
<p>[Top</a> 10 Schools with the Happiest Students - MSN Encarta](<a href=“http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/Departments/College/?article=Top10HappiestStudents09]Top”>http://encarta.msn.com/encnet/Departments/College/?article=Top10HappiestStudents09)</p>
<p>I wonder how accurate that survey is, considering the level of whining by Princeton students in the comment section for that Daily Princetonian article about Princeton’s rising acceptance rate.</p>
<p>Basing your opinions on the anonymous comments on the Prince is ■■■■■■■■. ANYONE can post on that thing. For all you know, ■■■■■■ like jomjom are doing it. Furthermore, do you think about 10 kids complaining in a body of 5,000 is statistically significant? I mean, come on.</p>
<p>Hey…</p>
<p>I will be majoring in Financial Engineering&Operations Research and working for a certificate from Woodrow Wilson School as well!!! </p>
<p>Wow, I really hope to meet you at Princeton. Pick Princeton!
(I’m going there for sure)</p>
<p>Hence why I said “wonder”, rather than expressing it in the form of an assertion. I was throwing it out there as a possibility. Remember, you are assuming they are not representative of the Princeton student body, while thinking I am assuming the opposite. You aren’t necessarily any more right in your assumption.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Many of the Princeton graduates could NOT get into top PhD, Law, Med, Business schools,
because the top graduate schools strongly prefer their own undergrads. I guess getting a job is the only option left for most P graduates.</p>
<p>Do you think a job with few thousand more is better option than getting JD from Yale Law or MD from Harvard ?</p>
<p>jomjom, you need to ■■■■. </p>
<p>I think anyone who looks at his posts can tell that they’re obviously a ■■■■■ who is bitter over not having gotten in. To the OP, first of all, congrats! Second of all, I’m an ORFE major and have been enjoying my classes and professors, but you seem to have noted the academic rigor already. In terms of ambiance, I love how quiet and semi-secluded the campus is at most times, it’s really like a nice little pocket/bubble to concentrate on just learning a lot about classes and myself. My other favorite thing is that NY is really, REALLY accessible. It’s about a 1 hr to 1 1/2 hr train ride to the city depending on the day/time. Growing up, I was stuck in the suburbs with no city closer than like 3 hrs away, so I really like going to concerts/museums/everything else the city has to offer.</p>
<p>I think we need to report Jomjom to the CC Administrator. He is clearly here as a disruptor. </p>
<p>In any event, according to the Wall Street Journal here are the Mid Career Average Salaries for HYP graduates:</p>
<p>Princeton: $131,000</p>
<p>Yale: $126,000</p>
<p>Harvard: $124,000</p>
<p>IAmNobody has pointed out one of the actually important things. Princeton is quiet, as far as environment. Harvard is not. Some people like quiet. Some people do not.</p>
<p>deter1 you are WRONG again. </p>

<p>You are right about the numbers on #32 but you conveniently missed the following::
According to this article, the salary survery "excluded survey respondents who reported having advanced degrees, including M.B.A.s, M.D.s and J.D.s "</p>
<p>At Harvard Law, 300 Harvard UG are enrolled, while 50 from Princeton UG.
At Yale Law, 90 are from Yale UG, 66 from Harvard UG, and only 24 from Princeton UG
( Princeton is behind Stanford(33) and Columbia(32)) .
Stanford Law no data but I am sure there are more HYS UG than P UG.
Columbia Law Columbia UG are largest group followed by H, Y,</p>
<p>Harvard, Yale, Columbia, UPenn, Cornell graduates, without question, have higher chance of getting admission to their own Business, Med, Law, PhD Program.</p>
<p>If you include respondents with advanced degrees, I don’t think Princeton will be top 5.</p>
<p>i think princeton will still be in the top 3. u cannot trust admissions rates anyways as the sole determinator, even w/ the flawed USNWR rankings. if u looked closely, u would see schools w/ higher acceptance rates (like U of chicago) who are ranked higher than colleges w/ lower acceptance rates. in 2007, UofChic’s acceptance rate was 35% whereas Brown’s was 14%. but still, brown was ranked 16th and uofC was numero 8… Compared to that, Yale’s 7.5% and P-ton’s 9.8% is not a big deal!</p>
