Princeton

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>I was wondering if you guys could chance me. I know Princeton will be a reach for anyone, but I just wanted to get a feel.</p>

<p>GPA: 4.0
Classes: Rigorous, including two independent studies I've crafted on my own
Class Rank: my school doesn't give out class rank
SAT: I plan to get about a 690-700 on math, 720-730 on CR, and a 720-740 on writing
SAT II: US History-710 Literature-720
EC: I do the usual school clubs and such, but I spend most of my time writing. I've written and published 2 books with a contract for 2 more. I write for one of the largest publishers and started when I was 14. Due to this I've also been interviewed/written articles for media such as The Guardian, BBC, and Huffington Post. I've interviewed on television, and frequently speak on panels and give talks on mental health.</p>

<p>I'll have good teacher recommendations (from Biology and History teachers) and good college recommendations, but doesn't everyone? I'll also have an optional recommendation from my editor at my publishing house.</p>

<p>I know my SAT scores are lower than I'd like (I don't test well at all!), and I have slightly unusual extracurriculars. Would one outweigh the other enough?</p>

<p>Thanks,
A Worried Student</p>

<p>Your EC sounds very impressive and I would think that counts for alot so I wouldn’t worry too much unless you completely bomb the SAT.</p>

<p>Thanks, scubadive! You really think it’s ok to have SAT scores in the late 600s?</p>

<p>Forgot to mention that I’m a direct legacy at Princeton and I’m planning on applying EA.</p>
