[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Among other issues, it seems like their admissions office is doing a poor job of selecting mentally healthy and resilient students. People complain about athletes getting preferential treatment in admissions, but every high-level athlete has plenty of experience with failure and losing high stakes competitions. The capacity to fail in gutwrenching fashion, and still bounce back, is sometimes untested in other high school student profiles. [/quote] A healthy person can become unhealthy. Every high level student has experience with failure and losing competitions too. [/quote] Disagree. The Princeton selection process purposely picks perfectionist kids. This leads to a horrific cycle, as perfectionism is the opposite of mentally healthy and resilient. It's a culture that is pervasive there. p.s. I know the parents of TWO of the kids who've passed in the last 3 years. [/quote]
