[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. this is a ridiculous thread, in large part because getting into these schools has become essentially a lottery, and there are far more than 3 excellent schools in this country, so boiling it down constantly to these 3 is ridiculous and narrow-minded.

2. princeton is exclusionary and elitist to the point of being almost offensive. harvard's undergrad education is not worth it (too much grade inflation, too many classes taught by TAs). if i had to chose, i'd chose yale (despite the fact that new haven sucks). however, i chose to not apply to any of those colleges (applied to georgetown sfs and uchicago early, got into both and chose georgetown sfs).

You accurately describe Princeton a century ago - today not at all.  How big of you to not even apply to any of these schools and yet to profess so much knowledge about them.[/quote]

And how much do you know about Princeton? I have dozens of friends who went to those schools (my high school is essentially a feeder school to Ivy league and other top schools). It was very clear to all of us that Princeton expends the least effort of basically any other school in America to try to truly become an inclusive institution. [/quote]
Not a Princeton alum, but the above is so untrue, that the PP sounds jealous and uninformed. Princeton was th first to have no loan financial aid.  They are one of the most universities. [/quote]
