<p>By "Many other science competitions" what other ones have you participated in? ISEF? Obviously your research will give you leverage. Nonetheless it seems kids doing research in labs and competing in prestigious competitions like westinghouse/ISEF is pretty commonplace now.</p>

<p>your scores are very high, but i just dont know if they are high enough for princeton, i mean it is princeton. nonetheless, your scores do put you into a crowd of overlyqualified candidates, but does not make you stand out. however, your EC's are very imporessive with the most being your research competitionis. just hope your essays defines your unique qualities!! good luck</p>
