<p>for Princeton, Yale, Harvard, Stanford, it doesn’t really matter how well other people chance you, because so many crazily smart people apply that it’s a toss-up for anyone. The best thing to do is to study your butt off and hope for the best.</p>
<p>Studying your butt off will definitely help^^</p>
<p>Obiwankenobi is very right. There are so many competitive applicants to these schools, and so few spots that there’s no way to say for sure whether someone’s “in or not”. You have a chance with your competitive stats, but it’s hard to say whether someone has a good chance or not. We don’t know what admissions want that particular year.</p>
<p>As said, toss up for everyone, You are very competitive though. As far as the UC’s go, I wouldn’t say your guaranteed Berkeley or UCLA, more of a high match. Good luck at Princeton, and maybe incorporate your time there into your essay?</p>
<p>I wouldn’t bring up you being on campus for three weeks in your essays. It won’t help you, if anything it could hurt you. Having been on campus doesn’t help people because colleges, especially colleges like princeton, understand that many people can’t visit campus so they don’t give an advantage to those who do come on campus. Mentioning it then not only wastes valuable space, but can come across the wrong way.</p>
<p>Of course, if your dad was ocnsidered faculty (which i’m not sure if he was if it wa for 6 months) then that will help you a lot if you put that under the affiliations wiht the school.</p>
