Good enough for Princeton?

I'm thinking about applying to Princeton, but I don't know if I'm good enough. Any input would be great. Here's some facts about me:

rank: 1/146
GPA: 4.0
ACT: 30
SAT Lit.:700
SAT Physics: 610
SAT US History: 600
SAT Math I: 610

Volunteer in community tons; was an assistant soccer coach the whole summer for freshmen boys.
Was in charge of a fundraiser for my school district.
Am a member of National Honor Society.
Am a member of my school's Knowledge Bowl team
Have played soccer for 12 years
Am in my school's Link Crew (mentors for freshmen)
Have taken hardest classes offered at my school, all of which are College In The Schools Classes.
Have credit with three other colleges and universities
Have had an internship with a local newspaper and repeatedly had front page stories
Am on my school's newspaper and also have front page stories

I am an artist.
I have illustrated a local author's book.
I have won multiple local contests.
I have an artshow going on now that lasts for two months.
I was a finalist in a regional art contest
Was also voted "most artistic" for my class.

I am also a writer.
I have written two books of about 700 pages each.
I started writing books when I was 10. I finished the first one when I was 15, and the second one four days ago. I will be starting a third soon.

Both my parents went to college. My brother will be going to college with me next year, even though he's a year older.

Do you think I'm good enough to get into Princeton?

That's more than depressing, Rogue.

@AuthorGirl, I hope you decide to apply. Your credentials are pretty impressive. I doubt any self-respecting school would want a robot with perfect test scores and a general lack of passionate aspirations. Screw Princeton if all it wants is good test taking skills and parents who fork over hundreds of dollars to obtain such trivial values.

Your ACT score is above average, for the record.

the ACT is way too low. Yes, it is above average, but not for PRINCETON. And honestly, any SAT II below 700 is going to hurt so much of your chances.
