<p>it's got everything but the great food (good, not great).</p>

<p>Alright, how's my app look? Do I seem competitive at Princeton?</p>

4

<p>yes.(10 char)</p>

<p>If you do ED at Princeton with these stats you are in (practically 99% gurantees). I would be surprise that you do not get in based on boost by ED. ED give you a very big boost as compared to SCEA.</p>

<p>Princton ignores freshman years grades. This will help you a lot also (not that you need in ED at princeton). Princeton loves strong applicant with ED.</p>

6

<p>99%? Are you sure? That seems kind of ridiculous... lol</p>

7

<p>That's about as strong as an application gets. I'd have to agree.</p>

<p>You have your choice of every college in the United States. Princeton is a good pick.</p>

<p>Princeton has been known to decline students with these credentials before. Omnislasher, seems to me like you have a great resume, however, I find it strange you would have to ask people on this board whether or not it is a good one. Do you like to write it out for people to see? Anyway, Princeton is unbelievable in all aspects. It snows less than occasionally. Food is great if you are in an eating club (jr. and sr. year). Definitely is spelled like this!</p>

<p>Omnislasher, I note that you posted the following on the Harvard board:</p>

<p>Quote:</p>

<p>Also, I don't care for princeton... that's kind of why i posted in the harvard forum." </p>

<p>While I am not prepared to post on your chances at Princeton ED, I would say that if you really aren't interested in Princeton, you should probably not apply ED--it would potentially lock you into a school you don't care for.</p>

10

<p>personally i think this guy is a troll. someone with these stats doesnt need to ask randomers for his chances</p>

11

<p>I'm not aware what an ED is.....? kind of ignorant hey? just joined the forum.... would you have the courtesy to fill me in?</p>

12

<p>ED = early decision</p>
