I have a 3.94 unweighted GPA.
I am a 13X High Honor Role Student.
I have taken 6 AP classes with nothing below a 4.
I have been on Student council for 3 years.
I am a 2nd team all-state Cross-Country Runner and a 3 year captain.
I am a 3rd team all-state Track and Field Athlete and a 2 year captain.
I have been a State champion and a semi-finalist in Public Forum Debate.
I have taken third in the International Public Policy Forum Debate Competition.
I have created an essay contest which hundreds of submissions.
I have created mock presidential elections at schools.
I have been heavily involved in religious activities taking on leadership roles in that capacity.
I helped found a class at my school which is now becoming part of the core curriculum.
I attended Boys State and helped run a write campaign for the governor.

Can you run at Princeton?
Honestly, retake the ACT. Unless you are 1st generation, or a URM, that’s going to hurt you a lot.

First, don’t feel bad about your ACT score. You are in the 95th percentile, so congratulations are in order. You’ve obviously worked hard and are good at standardized tests. The reality though is that so many people at the top of their classes around the world apply to Princeton that unless you are in that very elite group, your chances are slim. It’s just the reality for a very competitive school and does not diminish your accomplishments, which you should be proud of.

Look into Wake Forest. They have a good debate team and are test optional.
