2

<p>does anyone know? or could chance me?</p>

3

<p>Not without actual standardized test scores such as the ACT, SAT I, SAT II or AP exams. Projecting your ACT scores is useless.</p>

4

<p>Okay, so better question, what ACT or SAT score would I need to be a good candidate for Princeton's acceptance?</p>

5

<p>are you, honestly, very passionate about some of the things you do?</p>

6

<p>like what? and yeah I am. If I could do one thing differently, i would only want one, i would want to not take AP Chem and take another language at the U of O. The only reason I can't is because I'm doing Full IB.</p>

7

<p>anyone have any opinions? :/</p>

8

<p>guys??????</p>

9

<p>anyone.......please.... :(</p>

10

<p>0.1% chance. thats higher than most. jk
chill out...</p>

11

<p>go out and do something not for college, then come back next year and ask.</p>

12

<p>its under 10%; that's what statistics say. </p>

<p>good luck. </p>

<p>to us all.</p>

13

<p>i'm not doing this stuff for college, i'm doing it because I love doing what I do. I love being busy and being under pressure</p>

14

<p>You have a good chance of getting in to Princeton but so do many people who apply. Your GPA is Great. Make sure your SAT and ACT score are out of this world! I would study alot for them. </p>

<p>Also...make sure the admission officers will be able to tell that you are passionate about something on your app. That volunteer group you started concering other hispanics kids could help you if you present it in the right way. I would continue to work on that project.</p>

15

<p>and you also have an advantage because of your geographical location (if you live in oregon)</p>

16

<p>i asked what i asked because really - tons of people with amazing academic numbers and records apply every year - and a lot get denied. I think a big, big part of admission at a place as selective as Pton is showing some real, honest passion and action to follow it. i've continually heard that officers at places like this are pros at spotting stuff that's simply done 'just to do it' or for college admission purposes - they can tell when you are actually driven.. etc etc. good luck man!!!</p>

17

<p>Get an amazing SAT score. </p>

<p>An amazing SAT score will get your application a more than cursory look.</p>

18

<p>I just don't see how they could do that, and if they think that i'm doing it for the app, i'm going to be really upset, because yeah, i'm happy it does look good on my app, but i do it to help other people. I'm not trying to sound corny, but the hispanic program, my mom's best friend is a teacher, and has a student, and i talked to him and it completely changed my perception. He was really upset because he was going to be cut from a spanish immersion program because he was doing poorly in other classes, and he was almost in tears that he had to leave, so I just hate to see them think, or anyone do for that matter, that I did this for the app. That is complete ********, pardon my language.</p>

19

<p>do you guys think would they think i was doing it for the app?
if you were an officer, do you think i was doing it for the app?</p>

20

<p>Yes, you would have as good a shot as anyone else as long as you do all that is required for the app.</p>

<p>If you are an awesome person just make that come across in your app and hope for the best.</p>
