"Tough year for college admissions"

<p>Roberthhid -
I don't think there's any such thing as a "non-elite" private day school. In my world an elem., middle school, or high school that costs money other than tax dollars is by definition elite.</p>

<p>orjr--agreed.</p>

<p>Roberthhid--that's not a scholarship, that's need-based financial aid. Princeton does not give scholarships.</p>

<p>It could be a full-ride scholarship provided by an outside source (beside the full ride "Scholarship of Mom&Dad"). I know of one kid who is going on a full ride to a school that only provides need-based aid. </p>

<p>But those scholarships are rare indeed...if it comes directly from the school, I agree that it is most likely need-based financial aid.</p>

<p>Yes but trust me in the world of private schools, this one has never had that many students accepted into so many top schools. The point I was trying to make was this should have been the least likely year for this to happen</p>
