<p>I think there is no truth to the description that Asians are marginalized at Princeton.</p>
<p>There is, however, a sneaking sense in which the presence of Asians is de-emphasized in Princeton’s admissions glossies relative to those from, say, Stanford, Harvard or MIT, and also de-emphasized on Princeton’s home page, which features a minority of some sort or another almost all every day – except for Asians. This is a subtle message that is picked up by some Asians, and I think the PR people at Princeton may not even realize this.</p>
<p>Still, I know Princeton well enough to know that there is no truth to such an impression.</p>
