<p>I'm apply ED regardless of what any of you say, that is, assuming I don't visit the campus and decide I hate it. but anyway, i'm bored right now, so I figured I'd ask...</p>
<p>White, middle class male, upstate NY</p>
<p>SAT: 2300 (780m, 720cr, 800w)
SAT II: 790 US, 780 IIc... will take literature in oct, hoping for ~750
GPA: hovers around 98.5/100 uw... school doesn't give us weighted or cumulative gpa's...
Rank: 1/180... school is NOT very competitive though. No one has ever gone to princeton, every five years or so someone will go to cornell, but that's about it</p>
<p>EC's:
-Trumpet...10 hrs/wk my 'passion'... lots of awards/leadership... no all-state though :(
-Piano... 4 hrs/wk... jazz ensemble, accompanying performances, private lessons, 10 yrs in all
-Peer Leadership... 4 hrs/wk... co-president... service organization... works with kids to prevent drug/alcohol use... take a vow to be chem free...
-Yearbook...2 hrs/wk...editor-in-chief next year, co-editor this past year
-National Honor Society...3 hrs/week... soordniator of 'study lab' tutoring program</p>
<p>Rec's should be good... my essays should be good too, because I'm supposed to be a good writer, so I'll ensure that each of them is pulitzer-worthy</p>
<p>only one AP... US history... still no score... my school operates so that you must take the standard order of classes i.e. earth science, bio, chem, physics, ap bio, or else it won't be weighted for your class rank... consequently, you don't take a lot of APs till senior year... will take english lit, calc ab, bio, music theory, maybe spanish self studied if I'm extra ambitious.</p>
<p>Standard awards... nat'l merit commendation, prob not semifinalist...student of the year in a bunch of subjects... bausch and lomb award from university of rochester</p>
<p>So, how am I doing? I know I have no sports/work experience/'national ec's' and everything, but would I still be a competitive applicant @ Princeton?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
