<p>"After its early decision admissions, Princeton has 15,700 applications for less than 600 postions." </p>
<p>I would do ED where legacies and faculty children often get in. I don't have my heart set and locked on princeton, I was simply interested in my chances. I do know (now) that my chances are getting better and better with my perfect grades 11th/12th grade.</p>
<p>I wouldn't worry too much about it. My friend was defered from Yale ED last year, and then got in Princeton RD (as well as Yale) and now happily attends Pton. She had FAR from perfect grades (but top 10% at a great public hs). Just an overall awesome kid.</p>
<p>You NEVER know with Princeton. My friend was an absolutely brilliant student with tons of ECs, amazing musical talent, 1600 on his SAT... and he was deferred. It's absolutely insane.</p>
