<p>Well then I guess my son, 1/2 Puerto Rican, breaks the rules since he’s in the top 25% for gpa, SAT I, and SAT II (4.0/4.84; 2320 and 1590 for M and CR; 800, 800, 730) and probably in a lower socio-economic bracket than most students at Princeton (under 80K) where he’s been accepted. But it was really his ECs, letters of recommendation, and essays that made him a top student; he’s more than his test scores and his URM status.</p>
