<p>I’m also applying to Princeton as a reach and I think you stand a chance with good recs and good essays.</p>

<p>Reach.</p>

<p>Where are your SAT II’s? You are automatically disqualified without it.</p>

<p>Your EC’s are good, you should add some awards. Your SAT is average or below (bring it up if you can). </p>

<p>The SAT’s and Awards are your only things bringing you down. Also write a excellent essay and you might have a good chance considering your SAT II’s are above average.</p>

<p>I am going to retake the SATs with a prep class prior to applying. I know I have more significant awards, but I need to find them at home for the specific names/organizations. Thank you for the evaluation.</p>

Honorable Mention in Piedmont Division for soccer goalkeeper
School Service Award (around 200 hours of community service)
National Honors Society (this is also EC)
Coauthorship of a scientific paper
Charecter Counts Award (high school specific- probably not that important)
I will add more as I find them…</p>

<p>SAT IIs: Math 2 730, Chemistry 720</p>
