Volunteering : Pretty wide, volunteered at schools in other districts and my own, done things such as write letters from “Santa” to kids at the local primary school etc.
Rec’s: both teachers i got to give recommendations seem very very invested in where i wind up going so I’m assuming that they wrote me strong recs.

Interview went really great
Ur gpa is great, but it’s more or less average for your pool of applicants(Princeton).
ACT is significantly lower than the average(4 points) and not even in the bottom 25% range.
Plz Note this set of data provided by Princeton University
Acceptance Rate for Students with a 4.0 = 8.1%
27-31 ACT is 5.2%
Your ECs are most or less average for Princeton, NO major leadership, NO research, NO major competition awards.
Although Santa letter appears to be really sweet, does not offer a major hook unless you portray them in a really really interesting way in ur essay.
Princeton is a high reach even for students with a 36 and 4.0.
A total of 35370 students applied last year, it’s a competitive pool, I don’t think you have anything rn that will stellar you as the 5.5%(acceptance rate). Overall I’d say you have a low chance at Princeton, but I sincerely do wish you the best of luck.
Note: Don’t take these comments personally.
at most average or less than average*
