"Princeton was founded by Woodrow Wilson...great man."

Umm... no it wasn't.

what is everyone talk about!!

This is a biased thread of course (for the people saying "Harvard pwns Princeton" in more words), since its HARVARD 2010. People like Byerly foster misunderstanding and unneccessary bickering about something as easily stated as Harvard/Princeton is 1 and the other is 1a, or Yankees-Sox the three years before this season.

Byerly

The overwhelming majority of admits to both Harvard and Princeton opt for Harvard - and have done so for many years. See "The Chosen."

Well, we'll see where I matriculate if I get into both schools. It shouldn't make someone feel better that the college they paid almost 180G for is better than another college that costs just as much and is just as competent. But I guess everyone is different in that regard

Contact me if you have any questions about 'Harvard'.

Hey Byerly. . . that's like Byerly Hall, right?

Texas14, if you are picking your colleges based on "prestige," then, as a Harvard alum, I think you should definitely go to Princeton. . .

Sorry to be snarky. Maybe it's undeserved. But a person who gets to pick between those two schools should show a little more judgment and discretion.

There is no good answer to your question at the so-called "graduate" level. It varies from graduate program to graduate program.

My sister graduated from both with Master's degrees (Harvard Divinity & Princeton Seminary). When I ask her which school she liked the best, she says to me, "Princeton has the campus but Harvard has the name." Sounds like 1 & 1a to me, either way you place them.

Princeton is a lot better... A lot safer and more beautiful campus.. US News also ranks Princeton ahead of Harvard
