<p>Yes - you have a shot. Princeton is a highly competitive school that admits fewer than 10% of applicants. You should also look at Harvard, Yale, Brown, Nothwestern, Tulane, Amherst, Tufts, Johns Hopkins, Virginia, Emory, Michigan, UCLA, UC Irvine, Arizona State/ Barrett Honors College, Cornell, Rice, Penn State and Duke. Write a passionate essay and don’t forget a financial safety.</p>

3

<p>What is your major going to be?</p>

4

<p>Thank you! - i’m undecided, but i’d like to eventually pursue a neurology major. </p>

<p>Do you think I’d be part of the competitive pool? O_O
– just a lil thing i’d like to add, I was chair (top organizer) of a INSPI(RED) Tournament for our Key Club District’s Division 12, we raised $2000+ for Grassroot Soccer in Africa! </p>

5

<p>I think so if you rank 2 out of 463 from your class.</p>

6

<p>You’ve got everything - very rigorous courses, volunteer work, sports, standardized test scores, work experience, music. However, you are an Asian male, so nothing is certain at top-tier schools. If you really want to to to a top school, apply to a lot of them - I’d suggest Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, UChicago, Northwestern, Brown, Dartmouth, Cornell, Rice, Duke for fantastic all-around schools. With your stats and activities you should get into one if not several.</p>

<p>Dude are you human? those scores are ridiculous, if you dont get accepted i will personally write in a complaint letter to princeton ranting on them for making the mistake of not accepting you!!</p>
