The school is run and endowed mostly by assholes. It’s expected that these types would get in bc these people look out for their own. It’s hardly about merit if you dig deeper into adcom files and precisely who is on the adcom.

I went to high school with a kid who got into Princeton. His sister also did. Their mother is an admissions officer there. I wonder how both of her kids, who are fairly average among the Princeton student body, managed to get in 🤨

Edit: one of the kids is now an admissions officer at Princeton too. I wonder how they got that position with no experience in the field 🥴 the bs cycle continues 😂😂
