Graduating High School Early

Hi!
I am graduating high school a year early (combining my junior and senior years), and I am applying to Princeton to study Economics. I would like to know if anyone has an idea of how Princeton views early graduates, and if it will affect my chances of being admitted.

I took my SATs in June and scored 770 on Math, 720 on Critical Reading, and 710 on Writing (totaling 2200). I completed Math II and Literature SAT Subject Tests on Saturday, so I don't have my scores yet. I am ranked number 1 in my class with an unweighted GPA of 3.95 and a weighted GPA of 4.5. A few of my ECs are National Honor Society, Future Business Leaders of America, Lacrosse, Cross Country, Field Hockey, 4-H, and band. I am also a 5-time Carson Scholar.

I would greatly appreciate any advice or insight that anyone has to offer.
Thank you!

Congrats on applying early.

It probably is a boost but it doesnt in anyway give u a larger advantage than any senior with your stats.

Thank you! I'm just a little worried because some people have said that colleges may view it negatively for reasons such as maturity, especially since they have so many other qualified people applying. I'm not sure if it would be considered a pro or a con.
