<p>hi im a prospective student looking at colleges. i've visited princeton over the summer and i took the informational tour, ive always been interested in this school. i want to be a politician one day. i get good grades, i have been playing the french horn for 6 years, and i think that is my way to getting in. i want to play the french horn there. i also play the drums as well. i attend valley forge military academy and college, a very competitive school, the band is the number one military band in the country. the reason i attended this school was to get a good education, and go on to a good college. i was told by my teacher that i should attend our junior college for one or two years and then transfer, she said it would be better, is that good advise let me know. thanks for reading and let me know what i should do.</p>
<p>That teacher has NO idea what they are talking about.</p>
<p>Princeton doesn’t even accept transfer students at all. </p>
<p>Just do as well as you can in high school and apply in your senior year, like you would to any selective university.</p>
<p>o thank you she went to harvard, she said that by going to the junior college at my school for a year or two would get me the edge to get into princeton</p>
<p>Check with Princeton to make sure that they won’t consider junior college at your school (I’m not sure what that exactly is) to be tantamount to going to college, and that it would still make you eligible for freshman admission. Junior college where I’m from is basically community college, and Princeton DOESN’T ACCEPT ANY TRANSFERS so it would be impossible, as a matter of policy, to get into Pton by going to JC for a year or two unless JC where you’re from is different than it is near me.</p>
<p>At any rate, you can just apply during your senior year and then go to junior college if you don’t get in.</p>
<p>thats what im thinking about doin if i dont get in the naval or airforce academy</p>
