I think you have a shot. How much of a shot, I don’t know, given the level of competition. But why not try, if you’re not going to apply somewhere else early decision?

As I’m sure you’re aware, Princeton’s SCEA does let you apply early to public universities, so don’t refrain from doing that if you’ve got a good public option. At the very least, having an early acceptance in hand will be a huge relief if Princeton doesn’t admit you in December.

Duplicate thread. Closing.
