Naw, there are plenty from California. I’ve met many of them. In fact I was there last weekend.
zz and mj, every high school has its own culture. At some high schools Princeton is the #1 choice for Ivy League, esp since they are #1 in US News & World Report and because of their reputation for being so undergraduate friendly, among many other things.
Where we’re from in Calif, Stanford and UCB are the most popular to apply to partly because you have two excellent quality schools close by, and frankly some students or their parents don’t want them to be 3,000 miles away. But D and the others we’ve met from California just LOOOOVE it at Princeton!
