<p>I am interested in Princeton. It's my top school. I have a gpa of about a 4.3, my sat score is a 2100, and I created a club at school, volunteer, work at a library, and am a member of the NHS. I am also in 3 APs this year, and will be in 5 next year. I haven't taken the ap tests yet, so I don't know my scores. I am a member of 2 charity organizations, and have designed websites for both. I volunteer at a radio station and have some on air time as well, I am also going to be volunteering at a local hospital this summer, as well as the county Republican Committee. I was a peer leader this year and also in girl scouts since kindergarten. I am not a legacy, so that might be a hindrance. Also, what sat subject tests would you recommend? I don't want any math. I am thinking about the Literature one since I'm taking APLAC this year, and consider myself an "English person." AP US history is a two year course.... so i only have half the info as of now, would it be good to just check a textbook out this summer, study like crazy, and take it in Oct?? Thanks for your input, I appreciate it.
(I'm not majoring in any science or applying to any special programs either. )</p>
<p>“as well as the county Republican Committee.”
no.</p>
<p>haha jk. It seems like your a pretty solid applicant so far- increase those SATs (aim for 2250+) and do well on your subject tests. I do not know a lot about the SAT II’s, although I am also not a math person and plan on taking US History and Literature. Literature doesn’t seem to require a ton of prep, and I think that a review book and some general knowledge can fill in that second half of AP US history. good luck!</p>
<p>Probably not. I almost fell asleep reading this list of stuff you do. Show some passion.</p>
<p>Thanks for the input, yeah sorry I didn’t make it seem more exciting.</p>
<p>I think someone from my school got in with an SAT score in the 1700s, in the top ten, GPA I’m not sure but still.</p>
<p>If your not native american your not getting in</p>
<p>and if you don’t know the difference between your and you’re, you’re not getting in either</p>
<p>STMoore, hope you feel like you’ve accomplished something by being a grammar nazi. </p>
<p>Well, I still have a lot of time to work on my sat scores, so I am not too worried. Thanks for all the helpful input!</p>
<p>US History subject test = the easiest out of the three I took. If your memory functions like a sponge when it comes to memorizing history, then go for it. If not, then I suggest that you prep for Literature (just taking either one of the AP English courses will do fine as prep) and consider taking a math. I’m not a math person. I suck eggs when it comes to math. But I took it, and though I only studied for a grand total of 4 hours, I still managed to eke out a score in the 63rd percentile (a 700). :o Princeton requires only 2 subject tests, so I advise you to go the literature-history route. However, you should study for a 3rd subject test if you plan on applying to the big H, which requires 3.</p>
<p>Since you can take three subject tests in one sitting, you might as well go ahead and sign up for three and do them all at once. This will help if you do decide to apply to Harvard or one of the few other schools that requires three. If one of your scores is low, then just retake that one later- but at least you’ll have a practice run of sorts.</p>
<p>Literature is easy as pie; I think I got 760 without studying. Just remember terms and the like; they’ll ask for something specific from a passage and, obviously, if you don’t know what the term means you probably won’t be able to answer it.</p>
<p>You come off as an average applicant.</p>
