<p>I had a rough start frosh/soph years, but really put in the hardwork my junior year. I am a part of the National Honors Society, I rank in the top 10% of my class, I am an IB student, and have been since 5th grade, I am on the soccer team, the debate team, and Yearbook. I was also a People to People Student Ambassador, and traveled to Italy, France, and England. I really didnt even believe that college was an option until I found Princeton... So be honest with me - what are my chances?</p>
<p>Is your school really hard since you have a 3.21 UW GPA but are still in the top 10%?</p>
<p>^Well, that seems like, yes, it would mean that his school is hard - if a 3.21 is top 10%, then it’s very hard to get good grades. Or else no one tries, I guess…</p>
<p>Well i consider my school hard, especially when this years valedic. graduated with a W 5.2 and went to UPenn. My school also ranks in the top 5% of schools in the nation according to USNews</p>
<p>To be honest, not very high. But you’ll have a much higher chance if you raise your test scores.</p>
<p>Only 2% of the students accepted to Princeton last year had a GPA between 3-3.24 on a 4.0 scale. No one had a GPA lower than 3. Furthermore, your ACT score is at the 25th percentile for accepted Princeton students.</p>
<p>Statistically speaking, your chances are low. However, Princeton doesn’t consider freshman grades, so perhaps that will bring your GPA up when applying.</p>
<p>Also, 98% of accepted students submitted SAT scores. So, again, you would be in a minority if you did not.</p>
<p>^^^^^ I agreed with your post until you said, </p>
<p>"Also, 98% of accepted students submitted SAT scores. So, again, you would be in a minority if you did not. "</p>
<p>It doesn’t hurt the OP if he/she took the ACT instead of the SAT, as long as either score is high…</p>
