<p>What type of school do you go to. At our public school, only 1 or some time none have gotten into Princeton, even with the most amazing gpa/sat/EC. I really think feeder (private) schools have an edge. That being said, if you are at least #1 or #2 class rank, your chances increase. So you are in competition with the rest of your class, your region etc. And then also I agree, beyond SAT/GPA…there are essays and they can be subjective to whoever is reading them. Another thing - if your tennis is good, try the athletic hook as well.</p>
