Good luck man, those schools are really really tough to get into. Better have some impressive grades and SAT scores

good luck with princeton, a guy i know who aced the new SAT and has like 95+ in all his classes was deferred from there.
But then a guy with just above average SAT scores made it into Harvard from my school, pretty strange.

I've heard statistics where some really high percentage of students at prestigous universities have has parents that went there before them. Maybe his dad or mom went there? Anyways I don't remember exactly what the deal was but it was somethign really fishy like that, maybe someone knows an article about it or soemthing.

It's called alumni association benefits but it isn't loudly stressed to the public and usually happens if you are of the elite rich/very influential class. Our current US president George W. Bush was never a straight A, high scoring SAT guy and he went to Yale.
