<p>Grades are good… are you taking the most challenging courses available?
ECs also look pretty good. Just emphasize leadership and focus on the ones you are really committed to. 
Of course schools like Princeton are a reach for everyone, but I’d say for non-Ivies you’re doing really well. Still, apply to the Ivies because you’re doing well and you never know what could happen! Best of luck!</p>
