<p>Is is true that in the last 5 years, no Indian with an SAT less than 2200 has been accepted to Princeton?</p>
<p>Yeah, being an international from India will make it hard, but you’ll have a chance. Just dont count on it and love thy safeties/matches.</p>
<p>^ Do you really think I have a real chance?</p>
<p>hey guy, I got only 40 pts higher on my SAT than you, and my GPA wasn’t perfect, and I’m at Princeton now. Just breathe! :)</p>
<p>^Wow, that’s awesome, thanks. But I’m guessing you weren’t applying from an over-represented-country like India, from where only about 6-7 students are accepted :P</p>
<p>But thanks!</p>
<p>Relax! If you get in, sweet. If not, then take comfort in the fact that you’re still an amazing student who will be successful anywhere.</p>
<p>^Sure, thanks. :)</p>
<p>BTW, I got accepted to UMich -Ann Arbor, UCLA, and Georgia Tech. But I don’t think any of these say anything about my chances at P.</p>
<p>Your scores are not the best for a Princeton applicant. But I must say that the rest of your application is really, really, really impressive. I feel like other people posting on this thread didn’t even read what you’ve done. But I am very impressed. You should be extremely proud of yourself regardless of your Princeton decision.</p>
<p>I agree with Keasbey Nights. Your SAT scores are slightly below Princeton’s average, but your extracurricular activities are stunning. There’s no way that you’re an “outright reject,” and in fact, I think you have a decent shot at admission. Good luck! Be sure to post your decision on the 30th; I’m really interested to know how you fare.</p>
<p>@Keasbey Nights</p>
<p>Thanks for the encouragement. It meant a lot to me. 
If you don’t mind my asking, which college do you attend? (Since you’re a member since 2009, I’m assuming you’re in college.)</p>

Thank you. I’ll definitely post my decision on the 30th!</p>
<p>Well since Pton is needblind for int’l students, the fact that you applied for aid will have no bearing on whether you get in or not.</p>
<p>Secondly your profile is really impressive. I would go as far as to say that if your essays are nearly as strong, you have a really good shot at getting in! The national olympiad will definitely count for something! :)</p>
<p>It has become clearer to me as i approach the end of this college admissions process that admission decisions do not hinge on standardised testing. Once your scores indicate that you can handle the work load, they move onto other aspects of your application, and I believe that yours do just that! </p>
<p>I recently got into MIT, which is famed to be on the further end of the meritocracy spectrum, with a 2150 sat score. Of couse this is surely anecdotal evidence, and the conditions surrounding my admission such as the intricacies of my application and the applicant pool relative to yours and princetons are different. This is but one, of quite a few incidences when scores have not been the reason to be rejected. </p>
<p>I wish you the best in all your upcoming decisions but do keep everything in perspective!</p>
<p>Are you all on crack?! </p>
<p>He is going to be “waitlisted” at ABSOLUTE WORST. >.></p>
<p>^ fo sho…</p>
<p>Your test scores are on the low side but don’t disqualify you for this school.
However if you ever want a girlfriend you’ll not qualify with only a 690 in Chemistry.</p>
<p>As a fellow international applicant (from South Korea, though) who also applied for a considerable amount of FA, I wish you the best of luck!</p>
<p>I can totally understand the amount of competition you have to face for college admissions, especially for prestigious universities like Princeton.</p>
<p>I personally think that your test scores could be higher (as mentioned by some other people on this thread), but you have good ECs (even for an international student), so don’t lose hope!</p>
<p>Did you get in??</p>
<p>i hope so… he is so dynamic.</p>
<p>I got in :D</p>
<p>Thanks everyone!</p>
