Based on the information you provided, you’d be considered a viable candidate for Princeton. Bear in mind that Princeton receives applications from thousands of other viable candidates as well every year so you should still treat it as a reach. Best wishes!

@wanderlust9871 like @Cantiger said you are viable. Your scores and rigor look good. You rank is a tad bit low, but your school’s reputation could help. For a ChemE, your SATII Physics is a little low, and why didn’t you take AP Chem? Your math work is awesome. Being a female ChemE is slightly helpful. Being white isn’t.

Based on the info provided, I do think your ECs, while numerous, are not helping you stand out. There will be a ton of honor society swim captains applying, why would they choose you? Your essays will be important to answer that question. If you do any more interesting work before RD time, I’d make sure you update your app.

Good luck,
Psy
