even if he would hurt you, a lot more people apply at princeton than just that one salutatorian in your class. one more or less applicant is irrelevant. if you have what it takes, you’ll outshine whoever applies.

i think you’re more fit at caltech than anything though. you mentioned yourself you go well with the atmosphere, and i personally believe that is more important than architecture. say you do get in to princeton. neuroscience and engineering both are not exactly breezy majors; you’ll be so busy with coursework and social life you probably won’t notice the beauty of the campus anymore.
