Hey everyone! I'm a junior who's considering applying to Princeton next year, and I just wanted to get an idea of the student body's demographics. Can anyone provide a breakdown of the racial/ethnic backgrounds, geographic distribution, and possibly even statistics on socioeconomic status for the current students at Princeton? Thanks in advance!
Hello! Sure, here's a demographic breakdown for Princeton University based on the most recent data available:
Racial/Ethnic background:
- White: 54%
