Chances!

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I'm looking for anything you can offer to improve my chances of getting in to Princeton, or any comments in general.</p>

<p>I've taken the IB Diploma, and have the following grades:
SL English-6
SL Economics-7
SL French-6
HL Chemistry-7
HL Biology-7
HL Mathematics-7
and 3 additional bonus points for my essays...A total of 43 points.</p>

<p>SAT's- 780- Writing 790-Mathematics 800- Critical Reading
I'm in the top 1% of a graduating class of 512 students.</p>

<p>I've been an active member in the community, being a tutor, and helping set
up a hygiene school...In total I have 500+ volunteer hours.</p>

<p>I've been grade 10, 11, and 12 representative for a Tsunami Relief Organization, and a member of Free the Children, and Badminton team.</p>

<p>I have achieved a black belt in karate, and RCM 8 in piano, and Rep Soccer for 1 year. I have also been a National winner in a poetry writing contest for 2 years.</p>

<p>I am a legacy student as well. Any posts are greatly appreciated!</p>

<p>Legacy + 2370 = Accepted.</p>

<p>okay, not 100% true....but the odds are DEFINITELY in your favor.</p>

<p>Thank you for that.</p>

<p>Princeton would be crazy not to accept you. I think you're in.
But it's all so random, so nothing is guaranteed.
Good luck!</p>

<p>Excellent Chance of Getting Accepted. </p>

<p>But I question how realistic this comment is "Princeton would be crazy not to accept you." </p>

<p>It all depends on how the school views your extra-curriculars at this point because your scores are much higher than their average expectations. </p>

<p>Good Luck!</p>

<p>Thank you! Does a grandfather who attended the university count as a legacy as well?</p>

<p>pshh</p>

<p>your chances of getting in is already excellent; i don't think you can do pretty much anything to increase your ALREADY great chances of acceptance....</p>

<p>not sure--but i think that a grandfather attending the university would count as a legacy too.</p>

<p>good luck--i think you're in, but you never know.</p>

<p>your chances are great, btw</p>

<p>I can't pretend to be an expert on IB, but everything else (the EC's may be a touch weak) looks pretty great. Congrats on those SATs.</p>
