<p>Is it even humanly possible for a non-athlete/URM/donor to get into Princeton or a school of that category with a B+/A- average?</p>
<p>Yes it is. Outstanding board scores and/or tough course work (most difficult courses offered were taken), extremely impressive extracurriculars/employment/volunteer work, and an excellent personal statement would put you in the running. You may be that tuba player the orchestra is looking for (just an example), so try all of your avenues of attack.</p>
<p>Your school would have to be pretty challenging, and you would have to have excellent EC’s. It’s an uphill battle.</p>
