What does Princeton look for most?

I don’t have much factual information to back this up, but it does appear that Princeton is more numbers-based. For example, I know people who have gotten into Brown with average test scores (for the Ivy League, meaning in the 1900’s), but with amazing essays. It doesn’t seem like this happens as often at Princeton.
