<p>Now, a friend of mine is also applying to Princeton for Regular Decision.
She does not have straight A+'s and currently has a B in our AP Euro class and is an A average overall.
1690 SAT total; 1110 CR + Math</p>

<h1>2 in class</h1>

<p>Don't know about Subject Test scores (prolly similar)

<p>What do you guys think? Would Princeton take two kids from the same school? Would it be us two?</p>

<p>Note: I am reposting this to hopefully get new and/or different feedback. Hypothetically, what if SAT's were raised to 2000. Would Princeton take two kids from the same small high school, especially after I was already accepted and had a more rigorous schedule with better grades?</p>

<p>Honestly, there are more qualified students with a higher SAT. I’m not trying to be harsh, but it’s reality. If the SAT were raised, then maybe, but Princeton is very prestigious and the chances of both of you being accepted are slim.</p>

3

<p>You have an average chance at princeton, average being the small 15% or so that they accept, but your friend does not have a chance with those SAT scores. Those are barely above average which is not what Princeton wants.</p>

<p>Just realized that you were already accepted. lol. I still stand by the second part though.</p>

5

<p>Thanks guys. I am a Princetonian. And, it’s more than just test scores.</p>

<p>While it is more than test scores, you still need to be in the range(which you were with a 2200). However, your friends test scores are not even close to the range - she is in the bottom .05% of admitted students, which means there was only 1 student admitted with a score equal to or lower than hers last year.</p>

7

<p>I don’t think that your friend will be accepted sorry…</p>

8

<p>Yeah, even a 2000 would still leave her with an average 4.3% chance. The SAT score is going to be her downfall.</p>

9

<p>Nope your friend isn’t getting in with a 1690. 1690/2nd in class? What is that lol</p>
