<p>I know that Princeton gives a number according to their formula for each applicant (EC's, GPA, etc) but does anyone know any more about this? I read this in some sort of "Getting into college" book (which I forget the exact title) and also heard about it at an information meeting some time ago. Any help would be appreciated!</p>
<p>The most apt description of the style of rating system Princeton uses can be found in Chuck Hughes's What</a> It Really Takes to Get Into The Ivy League.</p>
<p>Thanks, this is what I was looking for!</p>
