<p>Those numbers don’t mean anything, and I’m not sure what you’re point is here. Are you somehow trying to degrade princeton with those “impressive” statistics of yours?
The article DOES NOT say that “of everyone who got into every single schoold out of HYPSM, only 8 percent chose to go to Pton.” In fact, you dont know how many people who got into Both S and P, and chose to go to P. Maybe all S admits who also got into P chose P.
Perhaps Stanford and Princeton are just completely different schools, so applicants who are fit for stanford are less likely to apply to princeton, and are also less likely to choose to go to Princeton if admitted. Maybe Stanford and Harvard are similar in undergraduate experiences, which is why such a high number of accepted Stanford students choose to go to Harvard. </p>
<p>I apologize if I sound excessively rude, but it really angers me when people constantly look for new ways to bash Princeton (the best school ever! :D).</p>
