<p>Say I go to a public university for undergraduate education. If I can manage a good GPA and GRE score, could I go to Princeton for grad school? Or generally is Princeton’s grad school only filled with Princeton undergrads?</p>
<p>If I’m not mistaken, many times they don’t even take Princeton undergrads. For example, in their renowned physics department, it’s been years since they took one of their own undergrads, not because they don’t prepare their undergrads well, but because they want their graduates to have a change of scenery for grad school. Not sure how this applies to other departments, but if you go to a good public U, you’ve got a shot.</p>
<p>I think a great majority of the grad students I’ve met came from public schools. Grad students who did their undergrad at Princeton are extremely rare.</p>
<p>Good news, thanks!</p>
