<p>Your GPA and rank are great. ACT is within range, but a toss up overall to Princeton. EC’s are good (nice on the equestrian) but perhaps not diversified enough.</p>

<p>Generally, you should probably take one reach off and put one match or safety on. You will find another that fits you nicely that you like. You would be better off spending your time on a University of Michigan-type school which you will be admitted to than a Stanford which will almost definitely be a no.</p>

<p>Notre Dame and Duke are both reaches, simply because of the large amounts of applicants.
Also, Stanford and Princeton both have single choice early action, so you can only apply to one, and no other early action colleges.</p>

<p>Do you think I have a shot at Princeton?</p>
