High school Junior from NYC aiming for Princeton [3.8 GPA, 1500 SAT]

Only the colleges themselves can evaluate you.

Wake may be possible (sibling legacy) but even there will be tough. A school like Miami, given the stats, may be more in range.

But as I noted early. You go to a private HS and they should be guiding you. They know where kids with your stats end up.

When you ask for a chance me, you’ll get what people think. If you don’t like the answers, then you shouldn’t ask the questions up front.

I hope you get into all of the schools you mentioned but the reality says otherwise.

But again, we are all speaking outside of your actual circumstance - and in the end, it’s like I tell my boss with my monthly forecast - at midnight on October 31st I’ll tell you exactly where I’ll be. Anything before is just a best guess - and that’s true until you hear from the colleges themselves.

PS - do not self study APs. Take the class. Many top schools won’t take your APs anyway.
