<p>**Note: I am biracial, ½ Caucasian and ½ Chinese, but my whole life I have been raised in an environment where only English is spoken. I take Chinese as a foreign language not as an easy way out, but because it truly is a foreign language to me and I study it to learn about my own background and culture as well that I have little exposure to at home. </p>

<p>I indicated Chemistry as my top academic interest, esp. with my research</p>

<p>Other colleges: Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Stanford, Brown, Cornell, Northwestern, Duke, Williams, Amherst, and Madison (safety)</p>

<p>I appreciate any feedback!</p>

<p>I'd say 60%</p>

<p>thanks...anyone else??</p>

5

<p>1600 Math+Cr and you are applying ED?
maybe a 80% chance with those scores and your GPA</p>

6

<p>Since you applied ED, you should get in. Editor and music are impressive. Only issue might be lack of varsity athletics, but no one is perfect.</p>

7

<p>I think karate makes up for that</p>

8

<p>Princeton ED is usually around 50%. Definately try to show interest in the school.</p>

9

<p>Grumpybear what was the national TV show?</p>

<p>And mensa160..why is lack of a varsity sport an issue? Not all applicants show an interest in athletics.</p>

10

<p>Great chance......</p>

<p>Does ED at Princeton mean that they can limit your financial aid?</p>

<p>I think it's good that you don't have any athletics in this case; it makes you seem like you are more focused on your (god, please do not strike me down for saying this) "passions."</p>
