College decisions are really random so I couldn’t say. But best of luck to you! :slight_smile:

Your SAT scores are certainly within range, but your subject scores are low. ECs seem fine, but nothing about the stats you listed may make you stand out from the crowd of qualified students. Hopefully, your letters of recommendation help and your essays were fantastic. Other than that, without being a Princeton admissions official, who can really say more? Good luck!
