They give undue emphasis to the SAT, when it's really nothing but a "how well you know the test" test.

Yet another kid trying to give himself excuses for a very low SAT score... not to mention a GPA that is too low for Princeton. You already have the URM boost.. it's very unethical of you to try to get an advantage by having your father interview. If you were a normal applicant without the advantage of legacy and URM, you wouldn't get into Princeton. Frankly, considering how you were born with the virtue of two hooks, you are luckier than thousands of non-legacies and non-URMs applying to Princeton who work their little butts off to get high scores on the SAT which in your opinion "is nothing but a 'how well do you test' test." Maybe if you channeled the energy you are spending trying to game the admissions system into boosting your GPA and SAT, you would have a better chance at Princeton. Yet you complain about the admissions process being unfair! I would watch out for your little plan backfiring on itself. If you do this and get in, it won't have been on your own merits anyway.
