I’m sorry; I hadn’t noticed you were deaf when I read your earlier post, although I still think your score is too low to make you competitive at Princeton. If I were you (provided you can’t raise your SAT score significantly) I would apply early to one of the elite all-girls schools. They are prestigious and academically rigorous, but far less competitve. Unless you are strongly opposed to the idea of single sex education, that might be your best bet at getting into a great school.

Also, instead of applying ED/EA to PHYS, where you probably won’t get in, you might want to apply early action to a different elite school. Applying early signifcantly raises your chances, but in your case, the SAT score is still too low to get you into one of the most competitive. However, I know at least Georgetown and UChicago have early action. I’m not saying you would be a shoe-in at those schools, but you have more of a chance there than you do at Princeton, especially applying early. Furthermore, though your chances at Princeton would be far diminished, you could still apply RD to whatever other schools you are interested in.
