<p>Think about it this way. If on a scale of 1-10, the average test score at princeton is an 8, and yours is only a 7, your personality aspect has to be a 10 in order to make up for it.</p>
<p>I disagree. If you score a 6+, you need a 10. If you don't get a 10 personality, you are out, and if you don't get a 6+ academics you are out. Test scores get you in the door, but that 10% acceptance comes from picking the ones that they like as a person.</p>
