<p>I just posted this same response on another thread:</p>
<p>I just read three chances posts that looked a lot like this one where no one had responded. I think it's because you (and the other people) seem to have all the scores and extracurriculars, so now it's really up to Princeton. They'll want to see if you would be a good part of their class (remember how now they are also looking for "well rounded classes" not just well rounded people) and what you are like as a person (ESSAYS ESSAYS ESSAYS). </p>
<p>Basically, the short answer is -- who are we to judge? </p>
<p>its certainly not necessary to explain why you didn't take ALL the ap courses at your school- for schools which offer a range of ap classes, it is not expected for any one student to take all of them since some ap's just don't have anything to do with one another. for example, a student who takes the french, chinese, euro, and macro ap's could be suspect for taking courses only because they are ap. my advice is dig through your resume and find your passion- swimming? music? a combination? and sell yourself as that type of applicant, instead of just throwing a bunch of random things in the adcom's face.</p>
<p>thanks everyone. i just got really nervous cuz i got rejected from stanford and someone told me that i essentially wouldn't get in ed at any other ivy (and no, i am not applying to pton because it is any ivy - i just fell in love with it when i visited)</p>
<p>haha i am very self absorbed, but, to make me feel better, could somebody else please tell me my chances? I want to know if the schools i picked (almost all ivies, jhu, duke, unc) are actually attainable.</p>
<p>You know as well as we do that you seem well qualified. You also know as well as we do that it is now up to the schools you are applying to to determine if they will take you or not. So there is no point in asking over and over again if you have a chance. Again, you know AS WELL AS WE DO, that have a chance. don't be so caught up.</p>
