<p>Hello everyone!</p>

<p>Thank you for reading my post. </p>

<p>My main question is, do you think I have a chance at getting into Princeton? If not, what schools would be good for me? I am mainly looking into the New England area because my parents want me to stay relatively close to home.</p>

<p>I am a Junior in high school and my current gpa is 3.7. I am very involved in community service and I am in many clubs in school. I have been involved in school/community theatre every single year of high school and I plan on being in senior year productions. I am going to be getting letters of recommendation from two Princeton alumni, my German teacher and my school counselor. I am on the crew team and I plan on continuing it in college. I will be going to the Princeton crew camp this summer.</p>

<p>My classes for senior year are..</p>

<p>AP British Literature
Dual Credit World Civ.
Dual Credit WW2
Advanced Alg. 2/Trig
German 2 (finished up Spanish last yr)
Marketing/Communications</p>

<p>I have a job at a local coffee shop and I am a camp counselor at my church. I also have an internship at two resorts near my home for wedding planning.</p>

<p>I want to major in business/political event planning at Princeton. </p>

<p>Princeton is one of my "reach colleges". I have other colleges in mind but every since I was little, going to Princeton was a dream for me. I love the history of it and the area it is in. I can also take a train from my house to get there which is pretty neat! :)</p>

<p>Thank you so much in advance for all of your feedback. It means a lot to me!! :)</p>

<p>Your GPA has gone up 0.1 in 6 hours. By the time you need to apply to Princeton it will be HUGE… You are a cert!</p>

<p>Meh, don’t worry about parents. College is time for you to do what is good for you…</p>

<p>Ah, just read your post on the other thread asking the same question… Your GPA hasn’t magically increased. Ah well. Not a cert then</p>

<p>Hehe thanks for seeing that! :slight_smile: I had to make a new post incluiding all of the info into one spot! I figured it would be too hard for people to look all over for everything I was writing. Sorry it’s a bit confusing. So are you a college student?</p>

<p>Na, applicant… Probably Yale (scea) this aug.</p>

<p>As for you, without SAT scores chances are even more unreliable than usual… Just keep on with life and apply.</p>

<p>Thank you for your advice! :slight_smile: Your the only one who wrote back! Haha. I’m taking my sat in May and I’m taking a prep class so hopefully that should help. And Yale! That’s great :slight_smile: what other schools are you looking into?</p>
