Princeton has been my dream college for years now...

I want to apply for Princeton REA. However, people around me have been telling me to be "realistic". I don't want to live with the "what if", hence I have been finding any students or alumni that can maybe have a coffee chat with me on the same.

I will be really grateful for the same, so please reach out!!!
