Unfortunately, no on without a hook has a pretty good shot of getting in. No one. After the 40% with hooks get accepted, less than 5% of the qualified candidates are accepted. It becomes very random with the school liking for individuals that meet institutional need. If they need a tuba player for the band or the art department is screaming for artists, they’ll take those first.

That said, it would be unusual for Princeton to accept an unhooked kid with as many B’s on his transcript as you have, even from the toughest high schools.
