[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would love to know what the average SAT score is for a Pell Grant student, a need based aid recipient and a full pay student [/quote]

Who cares?  SAT scores do not indicate intelligence.  They indicate who has the best means to prep for them.  [/quote]

So how do you know these poor kids are every bit as smart and have just as much potential as the valedictorian of a leading American high school who got 1570 but was rejected, because, you know, they are privileged, they didn't really earn it, as Obama might say (RIP Joe the Plumber)?  How does the admissions officer know this kid with 1310 and strong grades from a non-competitive high school is indeed just as strong as the best kids from the best high schools?[/quote]

where are these 1310 kids? They certainly arent at Princeton in any meaningful numbers. Stop the hyperbole[/quote]

Basketball + football[/quote]

LOL  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Princeton does not recruit world class athletes. If they were world class they would not be at Princeton.

Can't be easy finding world class students who are also good at sports. As it is Princeton's roster is full of dudes from England, Australia, Canada, China.

And here you are acting like they are recruiting illiterate children from Trenton[/quote]

Well, they do recruit world class athletes but you probably consider them niche sports.

I think one of the top fencers in the country (maybe the world) is a freshman at Princeton (GDS grad I believe.

Ivy schools usually are in the Top 20 in lacrosse.  I don’t know if there are any world competitions in lacrosse.

Ivy schools are tops for crew, squash, etc.[/quote]

Fencing?!?

Stop it.[/quote]
