You have shot. You have similar stats to our child and he was admitted to Princeton, Wharton @Upenn, and Yale.
Should you go to Princeton, that’s another story. All I can say is don’t get fooled by the stupid meaningless US news rankings and the pretty campus etc… it’s a good school but a bit of a paper tiger. Sorry Princeton but it’s true…smart kids for sure but they aren’t #1 in outcomes which to me is what matters… Tech MIT kills them, business Wharton kills them, premed many others kill them…Harvard kills them in everything… don’t get me wrong, going to Princeton will in no way hurt you…I’m just saying those ranking are nonsense…so many people can’t understand how our child would ever turn down Princeton…once you start to peel away the onion it gets easy to see why…best of luck
