Chance me? (: 2017 ED Applicant

I have over 400 hours of community service!

Act - 32 (retesting in September, should be a 34)
GPA - 3.9 / 4.8
APs - 9 by the end of Senior year
SAT subject tests - taking in september

EC - 3 time vball captain, 2 time vars - 3 time lax vars captain, habitat for hummanity, hospital intern, hospital volunteer, 4 year ice cream store employee, pep club president, National Honor Society, Latin Honor Society President (2 time), Special Olympic coach, Nationally ranked AAU volleyball player, AAU basketball coach (led a team of girls 13u to nationals and won 2nd place), American Cancer Society Youth Ambassador, member of a scholars program (top ranked scholars in the city) and a student-athlete scholars program
* I used to play basketball and got injured so now I just coach and play volleyball.

Is there anything else I missed?

I'm a white female from a middle class family with dreams of studying pre-med. I have quite a few ideas for essays already and I'm spending my summer working on studying for the September ACT and SAT IIs. My summer consists of taking a math class for a credit and volunteering and interning at a hopital in addition to working at an Ice Cream shop and coaching basketball!

Are you applying to Princeton? You said you wanted to do pre-med, which is exactly what I want to do at Princeton! Your scores and GPA look good. I do have one concern, which is your EC's. Princeton looks for quality, not quantity. They're all great, but what you need to do is do more EC's that relate to your major. If not, they will probably reject you because you don't have what's called a spike: an area that you focus on and excel in. But if you get more passionate about pre-med, you have a good chance!
Good luck! Could you chance me for Princeton? It would mean a lot, and again, good luck.
Chance me for Princeton?
