All of your SATs are competitive, but only the writing will be seen as a plus factor. But I wouldn't despair - in my experience people with split scores are able to significantly close the gap between their lowest and highest scores. You have great logical ability, but for some reason or another it's only being fully utilized on the writing section.

just wondering, ok i don't know how to put this...

as a fellow princeton applicant whose father went there, it seems to me that part of getting admitted is having a vibrant life with something special about it. we have basically the same SAT and AP stuff (same score on Calc AB lol, it sucked right?) and same grades, but what about YOU? the part that is not about numbers?
