<p>Expecting wonderful recommendations and am very solid on my essays.</p>
<p>Your stats and ECs look great (as good as anyone who is accepted). Just make sure you write great essays that say something about you. That’s what will help set you apart from all the other 4.0/2200+ sat applicants. But yes, you look very solid numbers-wise.</p>
<p>GOOD LUCK!!!</p>
<p>The numbers look good, but bear in mind that every candidate is rated 50% on academics and 50% on non-academics.</p>
<p>Do your best to demonstrate your non-academic side, which will separate you from everyone else with numbers like yours. The people with the best chance of getting in are those who look unique in some way, which could range from being on a coach’s list (20% or so are recruited athletes) to writing a functioning computer program to getting 100 people involved in collecting 1000 winter coats for the poor to starting the peer counseling program and the snowboarding club at school (a candidate I interviewed and got into every Ivy school she applied to had done the last two, and she also had 1580 (V+M) SAT scores).</p>
<p>You may not have anything in your bag that is exactly as mentioned above, but the closer you can package your extracurriculars to make you look unique - like a leader rather than a follower or simply a club joiner, the better your chances. And you may be fine without packaging - being able to outguess the admissions office seems to be a black art.</p>
<p>Are you “very active” in 9 clubs? I’d suggest focusing even more on the ones you are “extremely active” ahah. Think of the minimum number of ECs you would like to have in your app… and divide it by two. Youve got to choose the ones you are really really into. the admcoms might interpret “very active” as many hours a week, and then, being active in 9 clubs and going to school at the same time, well…</p>
<p>You seem to be into drama. Why not focus your app on that?</p>
<p>GPA (unweighted): 4.0000
GPA (weighted): 4.9355
Rank: 17 out of 806</p>
<p>Lol, you’ve only taken 9 AP’s and you have a 4.9 weighted GPA? Your school must add two points for an AP class. Doesn’t matter much what your weighted GPA actually is, what matters is unweighted GPA, course rigor, and rank. 17/806 will hurt you unless you’re from a top high school.</p>
<p>Also, your SAT score isn’t an award. </p>
<p>Oh, and I think there’s a strict limit on EC’s you can put on commonapp - I think like 8? I don’t remember. </p>
<p>The clubs you’re active in don’t mean much unless you were <em>really</em> active or were some kind of officer. You didn’t decide to run for office for any of the million clubs you were “active” in?</p>
<p>Princeton’s a reach, maybe a low reach (meaning closer to “match” than plain reach)…</p>
