Competitiveness at Princeton?

Colleges & Universities Princeton University

<p>So I know that Princeton is a private university, but how competitive is it compared to, say, Cal or UCLA? People at privates seem to speak more positively about the competition, especially Stanford kids.</p>

<p>I am of course, not talking about humanities majors. I am talking about the sciences.</p>

<p>CAL and UCLA are light years away from Princeton, in terms of anything.</p>

<p>Care to explain what that comment actually means?</p>

<p>Competition is not a big deal, except perhaps if you’re a pre-med having to take some of the basic sciency-courses (PHY 101, MOL 214, EEB 211, etc.) There’s a very helpful atmosphere.</p>
