It's an emergency!

Not really, but i did get your attention didn't I?

Now that the SAT scores are in for this year, i thought I would do another one of these threads. I already posted this in the chance me thread, but since Princeton is one of the top schools i want to go to, i thought i could use some of your opinions on the topic. I'm not entirely sure what i'd want to major in, but i know it would be one of the engineering disciplines, probably mech, electrical, comp sci, or maybe even physics.

Some of the other schools im looking at are:
Reach- Cornell
Matches- University of Rochester, Rensselear, Stevens Institute of Technology
Safety- TCNJ, NJIT

Some Stuff:
NJ Resident if you couldn't tell
First Generation student
URM-(Hispanic)

Scores:
Sat- 2190 Math-790, CR-690, Writing-710
SAT II- Math II- 800, Physics - 800, US History - 760

School stuff:
GPA: 4.0(UW), 4.9something (weighted)
Rank 6/435ish
Junior AP - AB Calc (would be surprised if i didn't get a 5), US History (would be surprised if i didn't get a 5), Lang (4 or 5), Self-Study(sorta) Physics B (4 or 5)
Senior APs planned - BC Calc, Lit, , Psych, Chem, Physics C Mech, Physics C EM(self study), Computer Science A (might have to self-study)
Honors everything else possible

Extra Curricular Junk:
Tae-Kwon-Do- since Kindergarten, first minor to get 3rd Degree Black belt in my Schools history
Accepted and going to NJ Governors School for Science
Taking Stats class at Community college over the summer cuz it doesn't fit into my schedule next year
Math League- Since Freshman year, Highest scorer, President
Interact Club- since sophomore year, on executive board, raised/donated $2000-$3000 this year
National Honor Society- Secretary
Science Honor Society
World Language Honor Society
Founded Computer Science Club
Proficient in Java and Python
Volunteering to tutor at the Library every Summer
President or Environmental Club since sophomore year
Attend Student Ocean Advocates since sophomore year, a county wide organization that develops leadership and advocacy skills with a focus on the environment

I don't think i forgot anything? Well, watcha think? anything i can improve on? Should i retake my Sat again, i kinda wanna improve on my CR. Am i cutting my self short by not applying to more "prestigious" or selective schools? If so, any suggestions? Thanks for reading this guyz!
