******How does Princeton look at Native American's?******* I've got a 32 ACT (36 Math, 34 Sci, 28 Rdg, 29 Lang), so i'm fairly happy with that, my weighted GPA is a 94.80/100 (no 4pt scale for some reason...) but my class rank is like just barely in the top 10%, but because the top 10% kids want to go to UT and only need to be in top 10% to get in so they take regular classes. I've got loads of AP classes, I've taken harder curriculum than the Val and Sal even. Eagle scout... All of my clubs at school pretty much revolve around Comm service... I'm stuco secretary.

Would all that and my URM get me at least a serious look? Not asking for chances, just if my application will be seriously looked at and not just chucked out right off the bat.
