<p>bump.........................please respond!</p>

<p>Just wait a few weeks and you'll know for sure. No use asking us for opinions now. Chill out.</p>

<p>i can tell you that you are either in or out</p>

5

<p>You are well qualified. If your cross country times are competitive for Division 1A, you are in. Otherwise your chances are better than average due to Latin, Siemens, SAT I scores & cross country. Your weakness is your SAT II scores (even though they are outstanding for normal human beings).</p>

6

<p>Your stats look great. You should be very proud of your accomplishments. I would be surprised if you weren't accepted. But with your accomplishments, you should be accepted to some great schools.</p>

7

<p>I think you have a very good shot, but then again, I am not a Princeton admissions officer. Like CMA1 said, if you don't get into Princeton, I'm sure you will get into several other good schools nonetheless. </p>

<p>Just out of curiosity, do you go to Ransom Everglades? You can choose not to answer that if you want...</p>

8

<p>You're in imo.</p>

<p>yeah, i'm just going to go with the flow of how everyone else has been replying...your chances are as good as any, if not better...although, i guess it's probably just better to not take anyone's word for it, because decisions are in like 3 1/2 weeks anyway...</p>

<p>Good luck!!!!</p>
