| I visited Princeton and didn't even consider applying. It just felt cold, and the students I talked to were not nearly as enthusiastic about their school. I feel that a #1 USN&WR ranking is a negative, because it lends itself to an increase in the ******baggery of the students. My suspicions were confirmed when a friend (who turned down Princeton for Dartmouth) sent me a link to the Princeton 2012 Facebook group where the biggest announcement on the page said something like "Yup, we're #1 AGAIN!". My other concerns about the school was that many students seemed to take themselves too seriously. I could see how many students would choose Dartmouth over HYP after seeing the Dartmouth Dimensions show (where just the opposite is proved about the students).
Btw, I know of 2 additional students choosing Dartmouth over Princeton who I am confident aren't on CC, and didn't already post on that thread. |
