| Recruited Atheletes
It's incredibly unfair that athletes, who usually aren't even in the same universe as qualified applicants, get accepted. I still don't understand why Princeton, and other Ivies, hold on to this archaic notion that the athletic achievement of a university is important. Furthermore, Princeton doesn't need the publicity associated with successful teams. Schools like Florida State and Penn State and Davidson this past year are significantly aided in this respect; Princeton's academic reputation and prestige suffice.
For the record, I love watching and playing sports. |
