<p>I'm applying to princeton scea, and I know it's hard for anybody to get in, but do I have a decent shot?

<p>If you could give me some opinions on those schools as well, i'd appreciate it. If you want more info just ask</p>

<p>You have a lot of Ec’s but most of them are sports related. Unless sports is your one true passion, do you have anything else that shows passion for say your prospective major?
Or if your undecided you have to show how everything has connected to give you some direction. This goes for all schools youre applying to. Other than that score wise you’re set, but try to get that common app essay up to even an 8 or 9/10 (whatever that means). Youre just as competitive as everyone else though, and applying EA helps in your case. Good luck, and chance back?

<p>Sorry, didn’t see the research part. Thats great, you definitely have a very good shot, but hey, it is princeton</p>

<p>You have a pretty good chance! I would say Low-Mid Reach. Trust me I know how it feels competing in a prep school.</p>

5

<p>You have a great chance with all schools you’re applying to.
I think youll get in forsure for the last 4 schools</p>

<p>Holy cow look at those stats! Yes you do have a good shot! The only problem might be that the applicant pool for Princeton SCEA is really competitive, so you’ll never really know.</p>

<p>Yale: Reach (For everybody)
Harvard: Reach
Duke: Reach
Williams: Reach
Dartmouth: Match
Wash U: Match
Northwestern: Match</p>

<p>Good Luck!

<p>Bump? I’d just like a few more opinions. thanks.</p>

<p>I would say you are as competitive as the better applicants but that won’t necessarily mean you have a good shot of getting in. Obviously if you’re school sends them a school report then that will help with the GPA. Just know that you did everything right and the rest of it is up to the ad coms.

<p>Hey, fellow Princeton SCEA-er! Those are some really impressive stats; solid SATs and ECs, and your grades won’t bring you down. Honestly, looking at the stats of CC applicants over the years, I suspect you’ll either get in, or get deferred and then get in. If not, you’ll get into at least two of the schools you listed, I predict.</p>

<p>Take a look at my app?: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1508837-chance-princeton-upenn-jerome-fisher-ivies-etc.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/what-my-chances/1508837-chance-princeton-upenn-jerome-fisher-ivies-etc.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

16

<p>Yale: Reach
Harvard: High Reach
Duke: Low Reach
Williams: Reach
Dartmouth: Low Reach
Wash U: High Match
Northwestern: High Match</p>

<p>Wash U and NW are high matches and not matches because they are schools very concerned with yield and may shy away from applicants with stellar SAT scores such as yours whom they are skeptical about will actually attend. And for good reason! You have a solid chance anywhere!</p>
