<p>Who do you accept? Who do you reject? Do you feel godlike and all powerful, or guilty about rejecting people?</p>
<p>-inspired by Creatine10's "this is how they admit people. Period." thread</p>
<p>id do it the right way. what can i say, i think they are all doing the best they can, and we should support their decisions.</p>
<p>ah, feeling rather abashed- I guess I have fallen into the mentality that my app is battling for me in the admissions office...forces of me vs...well- because I'm human, forces of me tend to fight against forces of evil.</p>
<p>The strong temptation would be to accept students that you think will attend Princeton.</p>
<p>First and foremost, I would reject every applicant who did not demonstrate such characteristics as leadership, commitment, follow-through, intellectual curiosity, integrity, humility, inner drive & maturity -- regardless of their gpa and sat scores. These intangibles have nothing to do with income so everyone would be on the same level. Next I would eliminate every applicant who did not take advantage of the most challenging courses available to them. Then I would divide the applications according to income level, then the real evaluations begin!</p>
<p>A battle royale. Thousands of kids fighting. Last few thousand standing are accepted. Hopefully they'll attend!</p>
<p>It would be tempting to accept all the kids who think that Princeton is not good enough for them.</p>
<p>I would begin with the essays and see who really wants to go to Princeton. Then I would use recommendations to narrow that down further to see who's telling the truth. Finally, I would use GPA and standardized test scores to see who among that narrowed-down group is good enough to attend.</p>
<p>Invite all the candidates down to Jersey for a weekend. We shall organize the kids by state... and put quotas on each state by population. Then pair off the kids, and strap their left hand together and give them knives, and a fight to the death. The winners from each state will them race a potatoe sack race against the others. Just to narrow down the numbers a bit... Oh and the Adcoms get to shoot off kids during the race whom they deem "unqualified".</p>
<p>the ones who get shot go to harvard</p>
<p>HAHA thats an awesome admissions method.</p>
<p>And live yes... they are too weak for Pton. Pton sudents are above getting shot.</p>
<p>50 Cent: A true tiger</p>
<p>so going with jacquesier...only...considering my terrible athletic skills, I would die.
Oh well.</p>
<p>Tempting to reject all the cocky kids. Brutally. Painfully.</p>
<p>i'd move to montana, that way i dont have to fight anybody...good luck to the kids from ny</p>
<p>Ah, but in Montana you would have to fight the bears merely to survive. In NY they just have to fight alligators...</p>
<p>No gangsters are applying from NY, its just nerds (for all those non-nerds applying please ignore this :) ). So we got no problemo unless there is some string theory math symbol challenge involved.</p>
<p>No...no...no...beware the power of nerds.
In my AP Physics class somehow everyone keeps trying to tie the information into "how would you win in a fight?"
With my luck I'd get an opponent who would manage to rig up pulleys so that s/he'd be able to beat me up with minimal effort.</p>
<p>HaHa they might even use fulcrums, find the derivative of the acceleration of the boulder under a fulcrum and would even mock you while your under a boulder by telling you what jerk force you just felt.</p>
<p>I think the pulleys and fulcrums and ropes give it away, a little suspicious, one must be brain dead to walk under the boulder, lol funny people</p>
