Chances for Princeton

Chance Me / Match Me

<p>1/2 White, 1/2 Indian Male in North Carolina, with double legacy. </p>

<p>If you don’t want to read the whole transcript, in short my grades are like 70% A’s 25% B’s and 5% C’s. My class rank is garbage, but I’m in Senior/Graduate level math and physics classes. My junior year was really bad, but summer classes plus fall semester, senior year can/do show improvement. </p>

<p>I can have great rec’s from a teacher who has known me 3 years and a debate coach who has known me for 3 years. </p>

<p>What are my chances of getting into Princeton Early Action?</p>

<p>I’m not ■■■■■■■■, I seriously don’t know. I feel like they will think I’m lazy or unmotivated or something like that.</p>

<p>“Hnrs English I – B” lol. I think you have stellar stats, except you’re lacking in ECs and your junior year. Just like anyone else you have a crapshoot chance of getting in. But I think your legacy will help you. Just do more ECs, get good recs, make an awesome essay and I think you’ll be fine.</p>

<p>Your EC’s are a little lackluster, unfortunately. And your GPA/class rank, the most important part of your application, is not looking good either. Your test scores, of course, are solid, though. I would still put Princeton at a mid reach, even with early action.</p>

<p>Take what I say with a grain of salt though, I am only 16 and a rising senior.</p>

<p>By the way, could you chance me back? I would really appreciate it! ^_^</p>
