<p>another thingthere’s a professor who directs the program at princeton that lets hs students take classes there, and I was talking to him too- he had been a department chair at Hunter College High in nyc, a school for the gifted whose graduates are in the top 0.5% of all nyc hs graduates- in his last year there, 2000, something like 43 seniors applied early to harvard, and 26 got in. He kept in contact with many students after he left, including all those who went to harvard, and he said that NONE of the people who had gone to harvard liked it. They stayed there because it was “harvard”, but they had huge classes and little to no contact with their professors…he had almost the same advice concerning williams vs. the ivies as ^, his only non-positive comment on willy being that he passed cow after cow on his drives there. then again, that’s not that bad- I drove up and the cows looked happy, so it was nice.</p>
