<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.</p>

<p>Also, is it worth retaking my SAT? I’m just I’ll do better second time around but my friend tells me all you need is 2100 and then they look elsewhere.</p>

<p>Although it’s not vital to re-take the SAT, it’s probably a good idea to.
You stand a chance. :slight_smile: Apply.
Question: why are you posting in the Princeton 2012 section? (Doesn’t really matter, but you’re not going to get too much exposure here).</p>

<p>I’m new to the site and wasn’t sure where else to post haha. Where would you suggest?</p>

<p>I think you’ll get more views if you post in the general section; you know, the one you see below the Class Year sections when you load the Princeton College Confidential page? :)</p>
