Princeton has many limitations. It is the ONLY Ivy League school with NO Law, Medical, or Business School. In contrast, Ivy League schools such as Harvard and Cornell have outstanding Law, Medical AND Business schools (all 3). As a result, Princeton students do not have the same opportunities and exposure for career and intellectual development.
