I am a junior in California. I am wondering about how people get into Princeton MAE. More specifically, I am interested in what ECs and awards applicants had before applying.
Any help is always good!

There isn’t one set of ECs and awards that will get you in. Be the best you can be and excel at the activities you enjoy participating in. Show leadership, and of course, excel academically.

And of course, have a balanced list of schools to apply to, because Princeton gets tens of thousands of highly qualified applicants each year, but can only accommodate less than 5% of them.
