<p>You have stats that would even make an White/Asian kid competitive, congrats</p>

<p>Really, I'd appreciate any and all critiques. A shot of realism is fine by me. The opinions I get in person are quite limited since I don't have access to anyone who is particularly knowledgable about the admissions process.
Thanks</p>

<p>You don't really fit the blue collar profile Princeton is looking for.</p>

5

<p>Is that all they're looking for?</p>

<p>i think u have a good shot with all the ivies. ur a URM w/ an awesome gpa and test socres. im not really sure what damaris means by the blue collar profile. i live in an upper middle class district in NJ and about 4 kids from my school last year went to princeton. i think 2 on ed. i think ur a strong candidate for princeton</p>

<p>Clearly what damaris said was a joke...</p>

<p>You're definately in. URM + 3.97 + 2100 = Gold</p>
