SJP Alumni visit Princeton

By Tasnim Shamma (Jamaica, NY)

Today, four of the six SJP alumni who were admitted to Princeton from this past summer visited the school. At the activities fair, I was able to interview them about where they hoped to attend. Watch the videos below:

Asmaa Rimawi (SJP '09) of Brooklyn, NY is a senior at Al-Noor High School, where she is student body president. She was recently named a Gates Millennium Scholar and New York Times Scholar (the scholarship includes a summer internship at The New York Times). She is deciding between Princeton, Harvard and Yale and says she is currently leaning toward Princeton.
