Does Princeton feel "elitist"?

We live nearby, also have a family member who works there and our daughter applied several years ago and was accepted. She decided to attend somewhere else, but has many friends at PU. My impression from the students I have come to know there are that it is not as WASPY and elitist as it was years ago. It has great diversity, especially economic diversity.

As you would expect, it obviously is geared towards high achievers, so while not elitist in maybe the old sense, its students are highly focused.
