[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Princeton is seriously over-rated.  Full of legacy admits, many of whom would not get into other top schools.  This will catch up with them, the brand I mean.[/quote]

This. I’ve never heard of anyone actually attending Princeton. I know kids at every other Ivy but no one ever gets in. It’s all for rich and connected kids.[/quote]

I’ve met some seriously meh people who went to Princeton.
Over time they mentioned how their dad and grandparent, etc also went to Princeton. 
They care a lot about lineage although I think I read somewhere that they are trying to lessen that.
They also heavily recruit for sports [/quote]

I know 3 Princeton legacy in DC's class who applied to P. A male got in REA or whatever they do. The female was deferred (? - can't remember) REA. And the second male got in RD after being rejected consecutively at a T20 school and a T20 LAC. Both males are white and the female is URM. The female and second male, according to DC, were top 5 in an unranked class in most rigorous classes. First male in slightly less rigorous classes and in top 20. (These kids are lifers - they know this stuff.)[/quote]
