I'm really interested in getting into Princeton.
My ACT is 32 and my SAT's are decent but not wonderful. I'm in lots of clubs and activities and i'm the sr. class President, No. 1 class rank, valedictorian, and I've been a political campaign intern. I've done a little bit of volunteering but not much. I also work 20 hours a week.
What can I do to maximize my chances of getting into Princeton?
All you can do now is get those scores up a little bit. Try again at one or both the ACT and SAT and see what happens. I had a 1470 MV (2260 if you count the writing) which is a pretty good score. I retook and ended up with a 1600 MV (and a two-sitting superscore of 2390) after the October test. Otherwise, you are looking good.
