Last thought on this before I go walk the dog before our Nor’Easter:
There’s something to be said for going to a place where you could have impact on the team. Brown is potentially a Top Seven opportunity for you in XC right away (I don’t know how good you are in XC) and projects positively on the track. Princeton will always have good distance girls. They always do. There will be a carful of stud freshmen next year, and the year after that, and the year after that. Thus, besides no guarantees of getting in (though i think your chances are better than I did before), as much as you can’t imagine it now, no guarantees of being an impactful (scoring) team member. That’s a lot of time to be spending outside of school at a place like Princeton to be sixth girl on the mile depth chart at best.
It would be good to know what you think of the two school’s academic approaches, per Publisher’s point. Very different.
Anyway; good luck with your Princeton ap.
