It might push you over the edge into the accepted pool. I say go for it if Princeton is your top school.

It's not my first choice (MIT is) but I think it would increase my chances and since MIT doesn't have any binding or restrictive programs, I feel like this might be good for me. I just want to know if I had a chance through the early action program thanks
