<p>I slacked off MAJOR until this year. I always wanted to go to Princeton though.
3.6 gpa
2070 SAT
decent EC's
great recs</p>
<p>I know its an EXTREME long shot, but does it even pay to apply? Money is not a problem, so If I don't apply for financial aid, will I have a better chance?</p>
<p><1% chance.</p>
<p>That isn’t really enough information to go on. What does “decent ECs” mean? Are you passionate about something? The above poster is incorrect because of he/she’s evaluation based solely on numbers. Essays, talent, personal characteristics, extracurriculars and even race play a part in admission.</p>
