Princeton Legacy Chances?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>This is the jist of my application without going into the exact specifics:</p>

<p>White Male
4.0 GPA Unweighted
9 AP's, so far 5 have been tested (all 5's). Three were self-studied
Rank: 1/450
2310 SAT (770 CR, 770 M, 770 W)
800's in Math II and Chem
Direct legacy to Princeton. My Mom (alumna) and my family (me included) are very active at Princeton events, reunions and such.</p>

<p>EC's:
Track Freshman and Sophomore year
Band Freshman and Sophomore year
School newspaper editor Junior and Senior years
Started my own business Junior year (quit track and band as a result) - this is what my essays and whole application is really based on
Am involved in many clubs, a few of which I started on my own</p>

<p>I applied as an engineer (which is considered easier) early action.
Again, without going too far into specifics, assume my essays are above average for Princeton applicants (but not necessarily spectacular). My recommendations are very good as I am friends with my teachers. My interview went extremely well.</p>

<p>Thanks! Very curious to hear what you have to say!</p>

<p>I think you’ll get in. Can you elaborate on the business aspect? I started my own Sole Proprietorship, too, and I chose that for my essay. Do you think it will help you?</p>

<p>It is an app business. I taught myself four programming languages, and am now able to make apps and take on freelance projects. I also helped start a programming club and am now a programmer on the robotics team. To help show colleges that I took my self-education seriously, I took the AP Comp Sci exam and got a 5 (one of the five above),</p>

<p>I think with your grades, EC’s and legacy it’s a high match if you apply SCEA. Good luck and chance back please!</p>
