Princeton doesn’t do ED. SCEA.

Thank you!! Edited

You say not sending APs and you don’t provide SAT IIs (which are pretty much required by those schools). It wouldn’y apply to Princeton ED, and Brown seems like a reach. You have a good record, but you probably won’t get into that level of school.

Thank you being honest!! Just curious, what level of school do you think I could get into?

@recklesss I dont see why people say you definitely cannot get into an ivy-level school. Your GPA/rank is great, your scores are good, ECs are ok. Sure nothing really stands out but you are well within the feasible range for admission imo. Of course your chances at Brown ED wound be much higher than Princeton (both SCEA and RD) as well as Brown RD.

I wouldn’t say definitely not Ivy level, but with the ECs and subject tests both a little weak, a school like Brown is a reach.
