<p>I definitely think EC is your storng point…SAT scores are on the low side…I think you have a fighting chance…</p>

3

<p>Princeton - Rejection</p>

4

<p>High match at Schreyer, High reach at Penn and Prineceton. Your scores are a bit low.

5

<p>SATs too low for a white guy</p>

6

<p>SAT is a bit low but valedictorian should help a lot and you’re ECs are really good, so I’d say
Princeton - most likely rejection
UPenn - possibility… a bunch of kids from my school with lower stats (don’t know exact numbers but i know one of them is currently getting below a B in AP Physics B) who got in</p>

<p>I don’t know about the PSU honors program sorry</p>

<p>Don’t listen to some of these people.
Princeton isn’t a downright rejection. Your SAT scores might be a bit on the low side, but overall, your profile is really strong. Depending on your essays, you might have a shot. And Princeton’s a high reach for everyone. You’re not the best candidate to apply there, but you 're still a highly competent one.
Upenn- Again, ivies are high reaches for everyone, but you’re qualified enough to have a fighting chance here too.
PSU Honors- I don’t know that much about it =(</p>
