Inside into the Admissions Office

<p>This is a 1990 video of the way that Princeton admissions works. Granted it is dated, but I found it very interesting about how they ranked academic and extracurricular achievements. </p>

<p>[Dean</a> Fred Hargadon on Princeton admissions, circa 1990 - The Reel Mudd](<a href=“http://blogs.princeton.edu/reelmudd/2011/04/dean-fred-hargadon-on-princeton-admissions-circa-1990.html]Dean”>http://blogs.princeton.edu/reelmudd/2011/04/dean-fred-hargadon-on-princeton-admissions-circa-1990.html)</p>

<p>VERY nice article.</p>

<p>Watch the video to. It is really good–probably the most transparent committee that I have ever seen. Granted this was circa late 1990s</p>

<p>I highly doubt that admission protocol has remained the same over the last two decades. Just way too much has changed.</p>

<p>Obviously thus the reason for my qualifying statement but it should be noted that Fred Hargardon was dean until I think 2002/2003 until the Yale scandal. That makes this post a lot more relevant in my opinion.</p>

<p>wait what yale scandal?</p>

<p>Princeton admissions looked into Yale’s database for I think 7 student’s information. Google it. It is pretty easy to find.</p>
