[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yale. I think it has a better undergraduate experience than Harvard and a better social environment than Princeton. I like the residential college system at Yale for building cohesion among the study body.The eating club scene at Princeton, even with sign in clubs, leaves something to be desired. Having said this, I think Princeton has a lot to offer.[/quote]

I basically agree with this, but one irony is that, in the DC area, Princeton has the reputation of accepting more students from local public schools, particularly TJ, whereas it is extremely difficult to get into Yale unless you either went to a private like St. Albans or Sidwell, or are a legacy.[/quote]

Churchill gets many kids into Princeton, maybe one or two kids into Yale, and hasn't had anyone get into Harvard for years. Maybe Princeton finds the image of its own student body in Potomac more than Harvard or Yale?[/quote]
My guess would be that, when HYP opened their doors to more students from public schools, Princeton naturally looked a bit further south than Harvard and Yale, whereas the latter initially accepted more public school students from New England.  I would also hazard to guess that more public school students from this area apply to Princeton.  [/quote]
