why didn't Carleton (from Fresh Prince of Be lAir) get into Princeton?

He was an underrepresented minority, had a flawless GPA, couple of clubs/sports, didn't need financial aid, and probably wrote a great essay on the time he was shot. I'm sure his scores weren't too shabby either.

1. He only scored in the 90th percentile on the SATs, which is really low for Princeton's standards.

2. He screwed up his interview.

3. Princeton's need blind.

But was Princeton need-blind back in the day?


This was intended mostly as a joke... but seriously, if anybody read his 'chance me' post, I'm sure most people would be like, 'you're in.'

Yea, good point...

I need to point out that this question would never ever conceivably raised if CCers didn't exist. This is such a CC thing.
