<p>why didn’t Carleton (from Fresh Prince of Be lAir) get into Princeton?</p>
<p>He was an underrepresented minority, had a flawless GPA, couple of clubs/sports, didn’t need financial aid, and probably wrote a great essay on the time he was shot. I’m sure his scores weren’t too shabby either.</p>
<ol>
<li><p>He only scored in the 90th percentile on the SATs, which is really low for Princeton’s standards.</p></li>
<li><p>He screwed up his interview.</p></li>
<li><p>Princeton’s need blind.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>But was Princeton need-blind back in the day?</p>
<p>This was intended mostly as a joke… but seriously, if anybody read his ‘chance me’ post, I’m sure most people would be like, ‘you’re in.’</p>
<p>Yea, good point…</p>
<p>I need to point out that this question would never ever conceivably raised if CCers didn’t exist. This is such a CC thing.</p>
