You appear to be a viable applicant. Some applicants with generally equivalent profiles will be accepted, others will be rejected. Good luck!

100% man you have damn good ECs and scores now focus on essays and Recs.

I wish I had your scores and your EC’s!! I think you have a really, really good chance at getting in! You have a near perfect SAT score, but I still feel like its a little low for Princeton standards, but since you have great EC’s, awards, and community service, you definitely look like a better candidate. They would accept you over someone who had a 2400 but didn’t accomplish as much as you have.
