<p>I just read three chances posts that looked a lot like this one where no one had responded. I think it's because you (and the other people) seem to have all the scores and extracurriculars, so now it's really up to Princeton. They'll want to see if you would be a good part of their class (remember how now they are also looking for "well rounded classes" not just well rounded people) and what you are like as a person (ESSAYS ESSAYS ESSAYS). </p>

<p>Basically, the short answer is -- who are we to judge? </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>As ceebee63 said, you've done all you can; it's now up to those folks in NJ to decide. The essays are gonna be very, very critical.</p>

<p>Best of luck!</p>
