<p>I don't really need to ask this since I will find out in a month anyway, but I thought I would ask anyway. Which of these two canidates will have a better shot of getting in. To be honest, the first one is me, and the 2nd another girl from my school also applying ED</p>

<p>Me:
Percentile: 13%
ACT (no SAT): 34
SATII: took in November, probably around 700-750
Hardest classes
ECs: 4 years football, two years varsity; 4 years baseball, two years varisty. Likely senior captain.
3 years member of student council board; Active in chruch youth group; several other small ECs
About 300 hours volunteering
Good teacher recs: say i bring energy to class
My dad wrote optional rec
I am also a legacy with a great interview</p>

<p>Other girl
Percentile:2%
ACT~32
SAT~730-780 estimate
Hard class load, not as hard though
ECs: 3 years track, 2 varsity; Vice President of Honors Society; Black belt
Probably about 300 hours community service; Helps with her brother's autism through charity
Teacher recs: will say she is very smart, but also timid
Interview: I can't imagine it being great, too timid</p>

<p>Who's got the odds on their side?</p>

<p>Oh, and awards:
Me: selected to Boys State; Math deparment award; perfect attendance; scholar athlete; AP scholar. Applying as religion major</p>

<p>Her: French and Scient department award; Several other small french contest awards. Major unknown</p>

3

<p>Is Girls and Boys state that prestigious?
Dang it , i totally let that chance away. . .
Well, i would say you have much more edge,,, esp, consdering you are a legacy ;)</p>

4

<p>ya, i dun like legacy ppl...lol</p>

5

<p>Yeah. The other ED pton applicant from my school is a double-legacy. Sweeeet</p>

6

<p>Sorry but I don't think either of you are really that impressive...I wouldn't be surprised if she were rejected (it really depends on the rigor of her curriculum and the extent of her charity work for autism) but if you were accepted I would chalk it up to the legacy status...you'd be rejected normally.</p>

7

<p>I think you might get in...</p>

8

<p>Yeah, I am not going to be naive about it. I know that I would have hardly any chance if not for my legacy status.</p>

9

<p>Have you spoken with the football coach?</p>

10

<p>No, I am not good enough to play in college, even Ivy league. My coaches all really like my attitude and determination, not necessarily my skill.</p>

11

<p>i got a double-legacy person from my school too. and 2 more legacy ppl, i think. omg :eek: :eek: :eek:</p>

12

<p>You're in NJ. What do you expect?</p>

13

<p>why would you say he would have no shot if he weren't a legacy?</p>

14

<p>do you go to wwp?</p>

15

<p>Both rejected. This is princeton we are talking about.</p>

16

<p>I think the legacy has a good chance, 40% ish.</p>
