The case for lifting up instead of weeding out in Princeton’s pre-med classes

(04/07/22 1:51am)

When I tell someone that I’m a pre-med student, their general response is one of sympathy. Looking at Princeton’s pre-med classes, it’s not hard to see why. For many first-years, acclimating to Princeton’s rigorous environment while taking classes such as CHM201: General Chemistry I, CHM202: General Chemistry II, and MOL214: Introduction to Cellular and Molecular Biology, is incredibly difficult for one simple reason: these classes are weed-out classes.

Learning from Florida’s ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill: The importance of queer spaces and education

(02/09/22 3:22am)

On Jan. 27, I opened my phone and immediately felt my stomach sink. The Parental Rights in Education bill, more commonly known as the “Don’t Say Gay” bill, had just been passed in Florida’s House Education and Employment Committee on Jan. 21, and was now moving through Florida’s legislature.

Against unnecessary applications

(12/17/21 2:30am)

As I scrolled through my daily flood of emails, one stood out to me: “Vaccine Volunteer Opportunity.” I clicked on the email and located the Google form, hoping to add my name to a list of people willing to volunteer at Princeton’s vaccine clinic. Yet as I opened the form, I saw a number of application questions. The form required me to write nearly 750 words. I don’t have time for this right now, I thought. I’ll fill it out later. I never did.

Make the decision to get rid of Early Decision

(11/22/21 2:35am)

As this year’s Single Choice Early Action (EA) and Early Decision (ED) deadlines creep closer, I look back on my college application process, marveling at how far I’ve come in one year. Yet even as I’ve left the process behind, I’m reminded by my younger friends of a central question posed to every applicant: EA or ED?

Princeton’s divestment plan: Saying plenty, doing little

(10/27/21 1:24am)

On Sept. 24, one of the tiger statues in front of Nassau Hall was adorned with a sign: “CLIMATE ACTION NOW!” Spilling down the steps and onto the lawn were groups of students, holding signs of their own: “#BREAK UP WITH EXXON.” “DELAY IS DENIAL.” “WAKE UP.” All of them had assembled to urge Princeton to follow in the footsteps of many of its fellow universities and divest from fossil fuels. From those steps, protesting students asked the University a crucial question: “Which side are you on?”
