<p>Perfectionist -</p>
<p>I think that most kids at Princeton have an active social and extracurricular life and still have time to study and do well in class (what seems to get lost is sleep, but that’s a different story!).</p>
<p>I too feel that you should certainly wait until April to see what your options are, but as PtonAlumnus has noted, the medical school acceptance rates from Princeton are extremely high and grade deflation does not appear to have had an impact - I would definitely not be scared of it. It’s not my favorite policy, but neither one of my children has ever regretted their decision to attend Princeton and nor have any of their fellow classmates.</p>
