What are my chances ED princeton next year?
ED2 at carnegie mellon?</p>

<p>professor/legacy at princeton? lucky. although your stats are a bit weak for princeton....but i've seen faculty kids get in prestigious schools with worse.
carnegie mellon might be more of a match/reach.</p>

<p>Thanks, bump(howd I get so far back so fast).</p>

<p>I would do whatever it took to raise the writing score. Writing is so essential for colleges and Princeton would probably have concern there. With some instruction, writing is probably the easiest score to quickly raise.</p>

<p>The can bend from a prof, but just so much.</p>
