[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok, I'll  throw my dd's opinion into the mix. My dd is a senior. We toured a lot of colleges and she did her own research. She checks all of the boxes in competitive admissions including long commitment with national awards in an EC that is impressive. More than her grades, rank and talent; she's an incredibly kind and empathetic person. Not sure where she will ultimately get in and attend but Princeton turned her off. She had a meeting with one of the professors related to her talent and he was great but she has zero desire to attend. We went 2x, in the hopes that maybe she was there on an off day. Nope. Didn't like it at all. I probed her on this and she said it felt unhappy, old fashioned, too much like a manicured country club. She also was not into the eating clubs on any level, sign in or not. I'm not sure if an 18yo is a millennial or what but she was dead sure that Princeton was something "a parent would like" as in, like an outfit a parent would pick out for a teen, but the teen wouldn't wear it. She didn't love Harvard either. But she did love Yale. [/quote]

So she applied to Yale early and will not apply to H and P? What are her backups?[/quote]

applying to Brown, Tufts, Northeastern, BU, Vassar, Bard, Cornell, Wes[/quote]

Crunchy circuit.[/quote]

She wants to stay far far far away from Trump voters, yes. [/quote]
