<p>From your location, I wonder if you really want to go to Princeton...I don't think it really likes being a back-up school...:p</p>

4

<p>Everything is good except the SAT scores and the GPA is a little low.
Other than that, it all looks fine.</p>

5

<p>below average. remember your school transcript is the most important, followed by scores and ec's.</p>

6

<p>it is only subpar for places like p'ton. hmmm white, ya it'll be tough, but not impossible</p>

<p>Woo I'm in Westchester too. Everyone in this thread basically has the same idea, your EC's look pretty good, but your SAT is below the Princeton mean.</p>
