<p>You look great. Priority deadline is Dec 15, so just submit all your stuff and get ready for the alumni interview. That's when they'll look for personal qualities; so just be outgoing, well-spoken, polite, and charming! Princeton places a surprising amount of weight on personal qualities, but I'm sure you'll be fine -- you've got a great app. I'm assuming you have awesome recs? Did you send the supplemental recommendation? Maybe from a coach or community service mentor?</p>

<p>Thanks ceebee63. Any more opinions? I forgot to mention that I received 5's in AP Calc BC, AP Physics B, and AP US History, and I am taking 5 ap's this year, giving me a total of 8 throughout high school. Also, my letters of recommendation will be awesome, and since I am an avid speech and debater, I think the interview will help me in the admissions process. Thanks again for your time!</p>
