<p>I’m not certain why there is such a low percentage of first year students reporting class rank at Princeton but it certainly isn’t what you are suggesting here. About 70% of this year’s entering class at Princeton came from public schools. Only 28% came from private schools and nearly half of those were inner-city Catholic schools. These numbers are very similar to Harvard’s. Yale has a slightly higher percentage of private school students. I’m not certain about Williams.</p>
