<p>There is no need to ask others to chance you for Princeton. You can chance yourself by taking a look at where you fit into the admission statistics Princeton has posted on its own website: Princeton</a> University | Admission Statistics The higher your grades and test scores, the better your chances are. </p>
<p>As for the rigor of your high school education and how it compares, take a look at what Princeton states is important at Princeton</a> University | Academic Preparation </p>
<p>If you have the grades, scores, and academically rigorous courses in your background, what else do you have? If every applicant to Princeton has great grades, high test scores, and is similarly prepared, you'll need something that makes you stand out from the crowd. Are you simply in a bunch of clubs, or are you somewhere a leader? Do you only lead, or do you also serve? What are your accomplishments outside of the classroom and school clubs? Have you won awards or placed in competitions? Do you have a talent you have honed over the years? Other applicants have, I assure you, and these are the applicants you are up against.</p>
<p>Every year I interview applicants to Princeton who evidently have no idea what it takes to get into an Ivy League school. 27,000+ applicants to Princeton for 1300 spots are easily 20,000 too many. Please think about what you are up against and get real about your chances. You can chance yourself just fine.</p>
