Personally, I chose to enroll at Princeton University because of the Woodrow Wilson School, the prestigious academics and the generous financial aid. Even in high school, I knew I wanted to focus on international relations in college before going to law school.
Although many other schools could have helped me reach those goals, I had visited Princeton and the world renowned Woodrow Wilson School many times, and I felt at home with the students and professors. I love challenging myself, so the academics here really drew me in as well. In the end, it came down to price. Princeton was the cheapest option for me because of its generous financial aid. He loves lists and records, so being able to give him the joy of being connected to some sort of 1 ranking was simply the sweet icing on the delicious cake that is being accepted into a school with great academics, a welcoming student body and a generous financial aid system.
I also thought that being immersed in such an intellectual group of people would certainly help me and push me to grow as well. Students here are the kind of people that want to stay up all night discussing politics and philosophy.

While students still need strong extracurricular profiles, admitted students often outperform their rejected peers in classes and standardized tests. In fact, research can provide a great topic for a supplemental essay. Princeton has established itself as one of the best known and most respected universities in the world over its two-and-a-half century history.
What is Princeton known for academically? Perhaps the defining aspects of an undergraduate education at the university are its junior paper and senior thesis. Almost every senior at Princeton writes a senior thesis—some engineering students pursue a project—which allows them to explore their academic interests and grow skills such as creativity, research, discipline, and independent thought. Senior research project topics know almost no bound and provide an opportunity for students to work one-on-one with faculty.
Since nearly every senior has to write a thesis, it builds kinship among the class. Princeton also has had prominent humanities faculty such as the late Toni Morrison and Joyce Carol Oates a current faculty member. Princeton has sent students to earn postgraduate degrees from the University of Oxford, trailing only Harvard and Yale —the next closest school to Princeton is Stanford with Rhodes Scholars.
