What are your credentials besides academic? Do you play a musical instrument? Do you play a sport? Do you have any talent? What is your essay like?

These are the areas where you can improve your chances.

The essay must be eye-catching. It is the basis of whether or not you will even get in the door.

I have a daughter who plays the piano and the cello. She has spent many hours over the past 10 years learning and practicing. She is in both the HS orchestra and an well local orchestra. In other words she shows that she is not a 1 dimension person.

Princeton, as well as other of the IVY LEAGUE schools, want students who are able to take advantage of all that the school has to offer. This is where you have to show your passion for the extracurriculars.

Good Luck
