<p>Princeton loves its legacies. The main concern was your class rank, but given the fact that you’re legacy, I don’t see why you shouldn’t get in.</p>

4

<p>your legacy status will boost your chances.</p>

<p>Good luck to you.</p>

5

<p>Thanks for the feedback! I forgot to mention that I am applying as a Chem-E major. Do you think that will affect my chances?</p>

6

<p>You have a good shot as a legacy. Princeton accepts the highest percentage of legacies of any ivy.</p>

7

<p>I would really love to hear more opinions!</p>

8

<p>Highest Tax Bracket (200k+)
Third Generation Legacy for Princeton on Dad’s side</p>

<p>I like those two things. Combined with your GPA and scores, I think you have about as good a chance as anyone. It’s up to the Ivy lottery.</p>

9

<p>Definitely a shot in since Princeton values legacy a lot.</p>

10

<p>

</p>

<p>I don’t see why the first thing is a plus. Economic “affirmative action” only benefits people in poverty.</p>

<p>Anyway, you have very good chances at Princeton because of multiple legacy.</p>

<p>Bump 10char</p>
