Princeton accepted/current students: How'd You Do It?

<p>I want to know how you made it in and if you have any tips/suggestions/warnings about admissions as well as high school curriculum leading up to applying :) Thanks!</p>

<p>Tip: Don’t be stupid and post this in every single college thread.</p>

<p>What year are you?</p>

<p>Haha you’re the only one that has a problem with it. If you do, don’t respond. Ignore it. Im sure you have better things to do anyway than stalk & be rude to people only trying to be resourceful.
And im going to be a junior</p>

<p>The thing that my D heard over and over was:</p>

<p>Take the most demanding courses offered by your environment.
Be passionate about your extracurriculars. Stay with them for all four years.
Great essays.
Great SAT and AP scores.
Top of your class.
Unique situation helps.
Passionate about Princeton. It’s smaller and more intimate than the other Ivys. More undergraduate focus than the other Ivys.</p>

<p>What type of schools are you looking at?</p>

<p>I really like Princeton compared to the other ivies. It’s my dream school. My reality school would be University of Michigan!</p>
