How did the APs go? If you have some good scores that should help a lot since colleges may be unfamiliar with your high school. Your SAT2s are great, SAT is quite good (certainly away from CC)

Is that the right link for the website? didn’t seem to load… well, you’re involved in a lot of stuff and have a compelling life story. I think you have a great shot at Princeton and the other top schools. You’ll have to write some good essays (tough call whether to mention the details of your dad’s passing because your candidacy is strong on the demographics alone- low income single parent, from Utah)… and if they turn you down after you’ve shared something so personal, that would be especially difficult.
