<p>Being in-state for Princeton is actually a disadvantage. There are too many kids from New Jersey as it is, and no preference is given to New Jersey applicants.</p>

5

<p>Your scores are in the range, but being in state at Princeton won’t help you and might even hurt you. It’s hard to tell if you can get in at the ivies, but you have a good a chance as the next person.</p>

8

<p>Solid, but not outstanding.</p>

<p>You have a chance at your reaches (UPenn, MIT, Columbia, Princeton), and you’ll probably get one or two.</p>

<p>Any more? Advice? Being on this forum makes me extremely depressed. It’s as if all my work has gone to waste. </p>

<p>However, be free to further this opinion.</p>

10

<p>IF u said u are poor, i don’t think it is a good idea to apply to stern cuz they don’t give a lot of scholorship.</p>

<p>Er…Title not meant to take literally - just a figure of speech to emphasize the dearth of chances given at this forum</p>
