Hi I am a sophomore in high school. What awards would you recommend to win to increase in my chances at an ivy league school, especially Princeton.
@masonl there are a few national and international that might help you, but if you want some great advice, try to win any award in an area you are passionate about, this will outshine the pursuit of awards for awards sake…
Read this very important / famous blog post from MIT admissions: http://mitadmissions.org/blogs/entry/applying_sideways (just substitute “MIT” for “Princeton”)…
And take this passage to heart:
Understanding the message here will save you so much time and energy, and you’ll be a happier person.
Good luck,
Psy
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.
Here’s a good one
