<p>Princeton is a reach for everyone… With that said, raise that 2020 SAT and then you’ll have a chance.</p>

<p>like lesley said, it’s a crapchute for all but maybe ~100 students in the country. at this rate it’d probably be quite a reach for you especially without SAT subject tests (aim for upper 700’s), but you should try using parchment.com and see what they say.
honest advice from an admitted applicant: leave off the little things (like the gym meet thing in your case) or it may look like you’re trying too hard… then again, the admissions officers know we all try our darndest</p>
