I thought we were talking about Princeton University? Einstein did live in the town of Princeton during the time he held a position at the independent Institute for Advanced Study.
“and emigrated to America to take the position of Professor of Theoretical Physics at Princeton”

know your facts man

AE Was not a professor at Princeton University, although he gave a handful of lectures there and the institution at which he did have an appointment, the Institute for Advanced Study, had a close association with the University.
There’s an asterisk at the end of your quote, which leads to this-
“* Albert Einstein was formally associated with the Institute for Advanced Study located in Princeton, New Jersey.”
He lived and worked in Princeton, NJ but was not a faculty member of Princeton University.
There was a thread this spring about a 2400 4.0 kid who got waitlisted or rejected at almost all the Ivies and Cal. I think he ended up at Dartmouth.
I don’t know how to make a link on this phone app, but search for “2400 4.0”
@Sue22 you’re wrong. read the article
@whatthewhat Meh, I believe I deserve to go to princeton but if they’re stubborn enough to not accept me, dartmouth is good enough. At least I can say I went to an ivy. Ive heard dartmouth has a lot of hot guys
I’m still desperately hoping this thread is a joke.
@albert69 Just another jealous person, nothing to see here.
@Sue22 How do you bold text?
@MikeTyson51,
Bold: bx before the word(s), /bx after the word(s)
Italics: the same, but with i’s replacing the b’s.
Quote: the word quote replacing the the b’s.
p.s., My price for this information is an apology from you to merc81 for post #42.
Lol, don’t patronize me Mike. If you’re real, I know you better than you think. That’s why I hope you’re kidding. I have a sister thought that a her perfect SAT and 4.0 would get her in anywhere and that she deserved to go anywhere she wanted. I wouldn’t want someone else looking at the world like she did/does.
@albert69 Where did your sister get accepted to? (and where did she apply to)
If anyone’s interested, 2400/4.0 from my school got into UChicago, CalTech, and Penn, but was rejected from Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, and MIT.
@jackrabbit14 Did he have any extra curriculars?
@MikeTyson51 Many math and science awards
@jackrabbit14 Better than three SAT subject tests with 800?
Here’s some admissions statistics for Brown university: https://www.brown.edu/admission/undergraduate/explore/admission-facts
Only 23% of people with a perfect ACT score were accepted. Just something to consider.
@cslc76 Yea, that’s because the ACT is far easier
Mike, although I have my doubts I’m going to treat your posts as serious under the assumption that there are students out there reading this thread.
Think of this from the perspective of the Princeton Office of Admissions. 20 years from now what would you be remembered for from your time at Princeton or beyond? Would you bring glory to the school on the field? Take the school orchestra to new heights? Improve the campus environment with your sharp wit? Take on issues critical to our society? Do you evince the kind of focussed intellectual curiosity that makes it evident you’ll be an academic star in your field some day? Do you have the kind of magnetic personality and organizing skills that make people want to follow you into [figurative] battle? Do you have the drive to start a company that breaks new ground? What will you offer the college other than being a diligent student?
