Your School Is Extremely Elitest/Stuck-Up

Your rant, while taking nothing away from Princeton, does a disservice to Georgetown. I am sure they’ll be able to spare what you’ll bring with you when you transfer someplace.



If this isn’t stuck up, I don’t know what is.

I do, however, find the helpful, non-elitist responses kind of odd. A high retention rate doesn’t necessarily mean that there isn’t any room for transfers, as is shown by other schools with similar retention rates (e.g. Harvard). (And Harvard really isn’t that much bigger than Princeton.) There are also schools that have room for ~10 transfer students a year (e.g., Caltech). Surely, Princeton has room for a few more than that.
