<p>Unfortunately: Asian and male</p>

<p>If you guys could help me out, I would greatly appreciate it. I probably could have done more in high school, but I hope what I have done gives me a chance.</p>

<p>If more information is needed, please do ask. Any help is welcomed!</p>

<p>It’s people like you that give people like me no chance at getting in to Princeton ><.</p>

<p>If you don’t get in, know that you deserve to have been accepted–those stats are amazing</p>

<p>“Knife Fighting”</p>

<p>Holy *<strong><em>in *</em></strong>! What type of an EC is that???</p>

4

<p>Yeah ***…knife fighting? Is that some sort of a joke? If it isn’t, that is the most badass EC I’ve ever seen.</p>

<p>It’s called Kali or Arnis de Eskrima. It’s a Filipino form of martial arts. Basically you use your hands or knife or fighting sticks in a predetermined fashion and try to cripple and kill your opponent. My uncle is a grandmaster and Kali teacher so it’s something expected. [Eskrima</a> - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kali_(martial_art)]Eskrima”>Arnis - Wikipedia)</p>

<p>If you dont get in, it’d be messed up</p>

7

<p>^He’d go knife-fighting on their asses!</p>

8

<p>I can’t say much about your chances, but I can say that if you don’t get in you should go kung-fu on their asses.</p>

9

<p>my opinion really means nothing (As with many of the people here) because I am not on the admissions buuutttt,</p>

<p>You’ll have to have some killer essays. The scores and GPA are princeton material, but then again they get kids with those high scores (especially asians) all the time.</p>
