<p>toblin no they dont lol. most people that attend princeton get financial aid. the average is about 23k. i dont know anyone who attends princeton that doesnt get financial aid.</p>
<p>i think its the essays that can make you or break you. they are what set you apart from everyone else. princeton always asks "what can you contribute to princeton". you should be able to convey that message or answer it through your essays</p>
<p>the teacher recommendations are more important than GC. Although i have a great relationship with my GC, many GC's have too many kids to concentrate on one to really get to know who they are. it is the teachers who actually know you the best. and since most people arent that connected with their GC, teachers have more emphasis</p>
