<p>You’ve got a good/great shot. How many people are in your class? In my opinion, your ECs are lacking, but that’s offset by your hooks. How did you take 3 years of college math? Were you taking Pre-Calculus in 8th grade?</p>
<p>oh, there are 360 ppl. and in regards to college math, i was enrolled in AB sophmore year, and my teacher suggested i opt out of BC and take a combined “BC” and basic multivariable class the next year at a university, then the year after i took linear algebra, and now i am in applied diff.</p>
<p>You’re definitely in. You took three years of college math! And you’re a minority which they love. And you’re male, which again helps because they usually have more females applying. Your ECs are lacking but that’s my issue too, so hopefully we can both get over that and get into the schools we want.</p>
<p>sweetandlow–unlike many other schools, Princeton has historically had more male applicants than female ones. For example, last year there were 10,806 male applicants and 10,564 female applicants, so I don’t think that being a male will make any difference in terms of acceptance.</p>
