When we walk through the FitzRandolph Gate, we walk into a mold — take advantage of all the opportunities Princeton has to offer you.
Every university-aspiring high school student has gone through the ritual of spending four hours on a Saturday morning filling in tiny bubbles in a test booklet labeled “The SAT.” With the College Board’s recent announcement of an overhaul to the SAT which will enact changes in the spring of 2016, I was reminded of an important question: should the SAT be required for college admissions at all? Years ago, before the rise of high-powered review courses and coaching sessions that teach students how to take the test, the answer was “yes.” It was a way to level the playing field, to create a standard to balance out every high school’s different and possibly inflated GPA calculations.
On March 27, students from across the country heard back from Ivy League colleges about whether they were accepted or not.
The first balls started flying around 5:00 p.m. on Friday afternoon. A champion finally emerged from the field at approximately 2:15 a.m.
At Princeton, it is widely professed and strongly emphasized that it is all right to be undecided during your first two years of study.
In light of recent coverage of the administration’s decision to eliminate the overnight component of Princeton Preview and shorten it to two one-day events, I think it’s necessary we remind ourselves of the framework in which this decision was made.
What makes us happy?Certainly, this is a question that has frustrated philosophers, psychologists, doctors and just about everyone else since the dawn of time.
This column is the third in a series about socioeconomic diversity and low-income students at the University. By Stanley Katz I have learned much and agreed with the two long opinion pieces written byBennett McIntoshandLea Trusty, so there is no need for me to rehearse what they have said so nicely about the University's efforts to increase socioeconomic diversity in recent years.

My mother was an artist. She went into college as an artist and came out of it as one. At no point did she second-guess this career because of dips in the economy, cautionary tales of the struggling artist or the expansion of departments in “usable” majors.
As we are well aware, Susan Patton ’77has been very outspoken in her views about women, hooking up and sexual assault.
An unprecedented move in NCAA history, the Northwestern University football team sought legal recognition as a worker’s union, attempting to become the first collegiate organization to do so.

Last month, Rep. Rush Holt shocked the 12th congressional district of New Jersey with his announcement that he would not seek reelection.
When the rumors erupted about a Duke freshman moonlighting as a porn star, the student in question, Belle Knox (her professional name), further fueled the fire when she was interviewed in Duke’s student paper, The Chronicle.
Earlier this week, I stumbled upon a Letter to the Editor from the Opinion section of The Daily Princetonian, titled “A faculty statement on sexual assault.” I was confused and a bit intrigued, since I could not think of any recent incident it could be in response to.
Over spring break, I was fortunate enough to be selected to participate in a Princeternship at the University of Southern California, but when the alumna who invited me introduced me to her coworkers, smiles quickly turned to looks of bemusement —“this is Jason, the three-day intern.” Though their reactions were understandable —after all, what sort of comprehensive experience can an “intern” really garner in the span of a few days?
