Chances of getting into Princeton?

[BassQueen505]

<p>I've wanted to go to an Ivy since I found out about them at age 10 and for the past 3 years Princeton has been the school of my dreams. But I need to know if I have any chance of being accepted. I've tried talking to my school counselors about Ivies but they really don't have any advice because everyone in my Utahn/mostly LDS school just wants to go to BYU. Please bear with me as I haven't taken the ACT or SAT.
I am a Sophomore this year.
Last year I really didn't do anything extraordinary in my schooling.
My GPA is a 3.98 (first A- in honors math this year)
I am ranked in the top 10% of my class
I am in honors English and math this year (AP not offered until next year)
I have the highest scores possible in my English benchmark tests for the past two years.
I have taken an old ACT as a practice, scored 31.
EC's:
In school's service club
In NHS, NJHS last year.
In FBLA/DECA, first competition next week.
In FCCLA
Many, many, many service experiences as well as unofficially tutoring several friends.
I can't do sports for health reasons but I am hoping to play bass for my school band next year.</p>

<p>Do you think I have any chance? What advice do you have for me about ivy leagues? Thanks so much!</p>

<p>Oh! I am also in my schools elections and eligibility club for the rest of my years at my school. Only 3 people are selected from each class and it is a fairly high honor.</p>

<p>Yes of course you have a chance…all solid applicants have the opportunity to make an impression on the admissions deparment. You will need a strong background but you also need to focus on really investing yourself, your time, in what you are passionate about. If you can convey passion for something, you will make an impression that sets you apart from the rest…not to mention the personal fulfillment. I would encourage you to pursue what you really enjoy! Ultimately that is what leads to success whether you get into your “dream school” or not!</p>
