Education & Reference - 2 April 2007

Hey everyone! I'm wondering if you can give me some input on the topic of Princeton. I have thoroughly researched it and determined it to be an excellent university (duh!) that I would be very interested in attending.

The problem is that, even with my unweighted 4.0, leadership roles in numerous clubs, 3 years as a varsity soccer starter, class rank 1 of 366, and participation in the hardest available classes at my high school (including at least 10 AP's), there is only a dismal chance that I will be admitted. Therefore, can anyone offer either a) tips to increase my chances of admission to Princeton (I have about 1 1/2 years to work with, since I am a sophomore), or b) a list of similar school to Princeton, especially in the Midwest (not necessarily in terms of flashiness, but rather regarding a strong intellectual community with awesome professors, financial aid, and overall atmosphere)?

Thanks a billion! ~

I am doing a research paper on the battle of thermopylea and I need to get as much details on it as I can. I need to find out about, Xerxes, Leonidas, Themistocles, the land battle, the sea battle, the bridge, and any other major aspect of the battle as I can in great detail. Does anyone know of any good web sites I can use. And no I can't use Wikipedia because it is not a reliable source.

Well I used to be one until I realized that being a nonconformist is still making me a conformist because I was conforming to other nonconformist… So it was best for me just to be myself. Wouldn’t that make the term “nonconformist” an oxymoron?

I have read the websites and other sources but I want to hear from personal experiences. Does Mercer really give good financial aid packages? Approxiamately how much? Did you have to take out a large amount of loans to cover the rest of the balance?

How much financial aid do you think they would give someone like me. I live in a household of 6 and together my parents make around $47,000 a yr. I will be the only one in college in my family because my other siblings are young. I have a 3.8 GPA also.

Thanks for the input and remember I want personal experiences. Not just some info from off collegeboard.com or something. I want information from either yourself or a friend/relative you know that has been there.

Thanks again everyone.
