<p>I am currently in the middle of my junior year of high school and I am considering various Ivy league schools, including Princeton. I am a white Jewish male from near Boston, and I don't have any closely related relatives that have gone to an Ivy league school.</p>
<p>I just took the SATs for the first time and got a 2380, 800 reading, 780 math, 800 writing. I have a 4.0 gpa, around 4.4-4.5 on the scale that my school uses, but I have never gotten less than an A in any weighted class. This year, I'm taking AP US, AP English, AP Statistics, AP Chemistry, and Spanish 4, and I'm doing pretty well in them so far. </p>
<p>I have not yet taken SAT subject tests but I plan to take Spanish, US history, and Chemistry, all of which are subjects that I know well.</p>
<p>I play varsity football and track, am on the debate team, am a founding member of my school's Model UN, write for and plan to be the editor for the school newspaper next year, am a peer leader, will be in NHS this winter, volunteered for a week building houses in Appalachia over the summer, worked as a camp counselor, am in the process of achieving a Global Competence Certificate, am on the board of directors for my temple youth group, attended a summer conference on National Security and Intelligence at Georgetown, and will be attending another one this summer, possibly at Brown. I have published articles in my school paper and online on the subject of international affairs, the area that I wish to study, and last winter I went as part of a Jewish group to lobby before congressional representatives issues of importance. </p>
<p>I am still waiting to find out whether I will recieve an AP scholar or National Merit Scholarship award, but I hope that I will recieve one or hopefully both. </p>
<p>I am considering Princeton due to its location and program for international relations, but I am also looking at Columbia, Brown, Georgetown, UChicago, and possibly Yale. What are my chances for Princeton specifically?</p>
