<p>I don't suppose these figures are available online but who would have the hardest time getting in? Would it be a combination of race/region?
For example would Asian males from NYC have lesser odds then Caucasian males from Boston.
Please don't go off in the wrong direction with this thread as I only aim to get an idea of the difficulty in present day admissions as it relates to demographics.</p>
<p>NYC, California, Florida, Texas, New Jersey, Geogia</p>
<p>There was a thread about "white guy with no sports" being "screwed."
Princeton considers Asians URMs, which many other schools don't, so these things depends on the school.</p>
<p>Yeah I totally got screwed </p>
<p><--- white guy, no sports.</p>
<p>Haha
Waitlistedad, I think you're worrying for nothing. There's no way to analyze this and there's nothing you can do about your children's race/region. It'll only make you more nervous.</p>
<p>I'm planning ahead and moving to Ethiopia...</p>
<p>I would go find the list of PSAT score cut-off ranges for each state. I believe NJ, NY, MA, and CA have the highest scores. This doesn't mean that the demographic area has a bad shot, it just means that the competition for your kid is going to be a lot tougher. I recall a columbia info session where they told everyone who lived in the New England area to move to Montana, and they would automatically be accepted.</p>
<p>I suppose my son beat the odds big time.
White Male
Non-Athelete
NYC area (Long Island)
Very Jewish last name:)</p>
<p>lol, it just goes to support the fact that there is no type that is blacklisted. The most important factor will still be academic talent, imo.</p>
<p>I might as well ad the home-schooled factor.
Three years of high school to be exact.
Prior to that it was a mix of private(2 yrs) and public.
I think that he really beat the odds!
(Thank the Lord)
Princeton should be a wonderful undergraduate experience.</p>
<p>lol asians arent URM at princeton, are you kidding zante?</p>
<p>I know they're not underrepresented, but Princeton has made an effort to accept more minorities this year, and they included asians.</p>
<p>Princeton traditionally is more "white" than Harvard and Yale. That, however, is changing.</p>
<p>Being white or Asian from CA, MA, NY, NJ, DC area (NoVA/MD), Atlanta suburbs, Chicago suburbs(?).</p>
<p>However, it doesn't make THAT much difference.</p>
<p>Princeton has long (pre-1960s) been considered the ultimate collegiate bastion of the privileged, rich, preppy WASP. It is a reputation that the University has worked hard to shed in the last few decades. With that in mind and ALL ELSE BEING EQUAL, the white, male protestant from the Old Establishment would be the last one to gain admittence.</p>
<p>What bout me???</p>
<p><<<Asian from UTAH. Not mormon</p>
<p>I think the geographical advantage outweighs any disadvantage being asian might have...</p>
<p>Is Utah a geographical advantage</p>
<p>Yes, being from Utah is an advantage because it's an underrepresented region...</p>
