Princeton Tigers

Princeton issued a statement saying administrators there "were pleased to be recognized as one of many outstanding universities" but that formulaic rankings "cannot capture the distinctiveness of any institution or whether one or another university might be an appropriate match for any individual student."

The Princeton statement also added, students wishing to apply to Princeton should recieve at least a 1550 on their SATs and have at least a 3.8 GPA. Students who don't meet this strict formula are wasting our time. The statement also added, professors at Princeton are prohibited from administering more than 35% of A's to a class, and this formula is necessary to curb grad inflation. But we don't believe in formulaic rankings at Princeton.
