<p>Recommendation</p>

<p>My school counselor and I talk multiple times a week, he'll call me in often just to chat, should get an outstanding recommendation from him.</p>

<p>Jobs</p>

<p>Worked summer before junior and senior year, Salty Iguana and Arby's, approx. 15-20 hours a week.</p>

<p>Oh and my grandfather went there, I'm the first in my generation to go to college in our family.</p>

<p>Oh and I'm white. Which doesn't help me as much as being Native American would but at least I'm not Asian :P</p>

<p>Could I get in? It's my dream school, but I'd rather be disappointed now than later so be honest. Need anymore info, just ask. And if not Princeton then some other top schools?</p>

<p>I hate chancing because I feel under qualified to judge the future of so many amazing applicants… all better than I am.
However, based on my CC creeping abilities, I’d think mainly rejections, with maybe 1 Ivy accepting you. It depends on your ability to play a sport in college! But I think you’re a great fit for Notre Dame!</p>

<p>Not a chance, sorry.</p>

<p>I would say that there is no way to really tell. Also, I don’t know if you are first generation college if your grandfather went to Princeton, and I don’t know if that is close enough for legacy. You seem like a strong enough applicant if you bring up your SAT score, so I would give you maybe a ten percent chance for Princeton. You probably can get into Cornell though.</p>

<p>@WongTongTong- I don’t think he was attempting to down Cornell! A bit harsh, and maybe you could’ve responded with statistics instead of insults!
Come on guys, spread the love!</p>

<p>I don’t think you quite get the definition of “first generation” :/</p>
