<p>I don’t think the news story is really much news to those who keep track of the whole college-admissions thing. It’s pretty widely known that even among HYPS, H > YPS in the minds of applicants.</p>
<p>The real question is: is that in and of itself a good enough reason to enroll at H? There are reasons to think it may be and reasons to believe that it may not. To each his own.</p>
<p>I personally find it admirable that the Daily Princetonian had the guts to not only put up this article but that it did so in the first page. You can’t live under a Yale-type inferiority complex forever; you’ve got to admit that cross-admits see things a certain way, and then have to go about and agressively change that. In many ways, I think the fact that the Daily Princetonian put this up is a positive sign that Princeton is going about doing just that. If anyone’s got a chance to overcome the strength of the Harvard brand-name, I’d say it’s them.</p>
