<p>What do you guys think?</p>

<p>You are lucky that I was distracted enough (from hw!) to answer your post, because otherwise I wouldn’t bother telling you that you are an excellent applicant. Honestly, I would be very surprised if you didn’t get in. Now go make someone else feel inferior! :)</p>

3

<p>^^^I second that.</p>

4

<p>You aren’t getting in. I’m not joking. Princeton doesn’t like it when your activities are spread out thin. Hope the essays and recs are solid as a rock.</p>

5

<p>^^^and what do you mean by “spread out thin” ?</p>

6

<p>^ - I think cicero-oratore means that pinballwizard doesn’t have a specific focus in his activities…</p>

<p>pinballwizard - Your stats look really nice and I think you have a good chance of getting in. How the heck do you get a 5.2 W GPA though? o.o; Are there some classes that count as 6 pts??</p>

7

<p>^^^Oh thanks</p>

8

<p>yeah, AP-6, Honors-5, Standard-4</p>

9

<p>I think you’ll definitely be seriously considered for admission. That’s about as confident as I get when it comes to admissions.</p>

10

<p>Looks good. But how disadvantaged are we talking about? (Some people use that term loosely.) That will seriously affect your likelihood of being admitted.</p>

11

<p>Just a rhetorical question, by the way. Feel free not to answer.</p>

12

<p>Hi, friendly neighborhood Beef Supreme here… you’re in the mix, that’s about as much as we could tell you for sure.</p>

13

<p>Beef Supreme, dude I would like to meet you if in the world by any chance I get into S CC haha…</p>

14

<p>idk i agree with above, ur numbers put you into consideration but ur activities and awards are somewhat scattered and lack focus, they may not be able to tell what you actually enjoy the most, therefore not knowing you at all</p>
