Essays-Strong (10/10)

Just wondering, would Princeton outright reject me for my low performance on standardized testing (due to race and gender)? Also, how important are recommendations for Ivies?

Thank you in advance!

@collegestress777

probably not for your one 3 and a few 4’s on your AP test, the rest of your scores are good. But they may reject you for not accepting responsibility for your scores and instead blaming on external factors… at least I hope they would.

@psywar I think OP is trying to say “because of my race and gender, will my standardized testing performance hurt me more” rather than blaming race and gender for low scores.

@hope469 that could be, OP doesn’t mention race or gender in the above info, or I missed it :wink:

I infer male (scouts) and Chinese (5 in AP), but left guessing…
