Really important question, help please.

<p>Princeton seems to be an amazing place, but im not quite sure i have the gpa to make the cut. I understand that princeton is really big on ec's but is it enough to balance out an avg. gpa?</p>

<p>Anyone?????</p>

<p>It depends on the difficulty of your school and classes, but if you go to an average school, an average gpa will most likely not make the cut.</p>

<p>what are your stats? what kind of ec's are we talking? </p>

<p>if you don't want to post this all publicly but want a better sense of your chances, email me [<a href="mailto:nhopkins@princeton.edu">nhopkins@princeton.edu</a>] or catch me on AIM [verliebtinadorno]. I'm Pton '09 and am happy to help in any way I can.</p>

<p>Is this question really that impt?</p>

<p>Dude, I'm telling you from personal experience not to quit. I was a above average high school student with about a 3.5, and even had a D in chem, and a C in an AP class. I still got into Princeton, and am doing even better than I did. People discouraged me to apply,but I did not listen, and it payed off. So... APPPLLLY!!! :)</p>

<p>wow. Erroln thats great, congrats! and thanks!</p>
