@2020hind - You seem to be in great shape, the only blip on the radar is the top 15% class rank - suggesting you have not done as well as your peers. But if you’re in a high school where people in the 10-15% are regularly getting into top schools, it may not be such a disadvantage. Have you looked at your school admission stats and talked with your school college counselor? They can far better assess your odds than anyone here can.

I would expect you to get into Princeton, unless you bomb the essays or interview, or have lackluster recommendations.

@allonsyalonso1 - I don’t agree that Stanford is harder to get into the Harvard - if you look closely at the CDS for each school, you’ll notice that attending Harvard students have higher stats then Stanford students. I suspect Stanford attracts far more long-shot applicants who have little chance than Harvard does. As a whole, for well-qualified applicants such as the OP, Stanford might even be a little easier to get into than Harvard.
