Ok well take what I am saying with a grain of salt because I am only a HS senior who is applying to colleges this year too. You are definately a curious case. Your volunteering is good…but, as your have said, your really dont have any ECs. That could kill you right there, so play up how your self taught yourself how to play the piano and violin. Submit a supplement if you are good enough. Your GPA is very low for Princeton…i dont care how competitive your HS is…that will hurt you. Lastly, your test scores for Princeton (without regard to your race) are on the lowish end. With all that said, you are a URM and URMs can sometimes get away with alot when they apply. So, in the end, I really dont know if you have a shot. I mean I have looked over the results threads for 2013 and 2012 (I normally skip over hooked applicants because I am not hooked), but you seem kinda like a long shot for Princeton. Apply…but like everyone else, dont expect much.
