Hey!
Thanks for actually viewing this thread. You have made my day. So I know Princeton is definately a long shot but I figure I might as well give it. I’m not sure what I want to go into but I don’t think its going to be pure sciences. Here are my stats. Please chance- I’m nervous!
Junior
ACT: 31 (taking it again in April so…we’ll see)
SAT: took it in March so I haven’t gotten my score back yet
Location: SMALL town in Alabama
School type: public, NOT competitive
Rank: 2/280 now but should graduate val…
AP’s: this year-AP Cal AB, AP Chem, AP US History; senior year- AP Biology, AP Engligh Lit, AP English Lang
Other academic: Next year I’m taking Cal II and III, and Organic Chem at a local community college

Misc.: I am spending a month this summer at the University of Alabama taking classes for college credit and also spending another week at the Engineering college there…I know that UA is not the MOST prestigious university in America but money has been a issue lately…
Hook: probably am appling with a ROTC scholarship (where the government pays for all college expenses provided you give them 6 years of your life)

Keep in mind that opportunities in Alabama are few and far between!!!
THANK YOU!!!
