Those numbers are off. Yet Princeton is known as a very gentile, waspy and preppy institution historically and as a result many jewish students probably do not even apply. Dartmouth has a similar feel in that its like the good old boys club. From what I heard Yale is around 30% jewish, but like Penn, Harvard, Emory, Wash U...it historically has attracted a lot of applicants. I would say that perception has a lot to do with it. On a final note, my friend from emory recently told me that is has around 34% jewish student body, so the numbers aren't completely correct.
