IQ going to hold me back?

So, I’ve been admitted into Princeton Comp Sci. Over the past few months, I’ve developed an obsession with IQ. From common data, it seems like the average IQ of a Princeton Undergrad(Or most ivy league undergrads for that matter) hovers around 130-140. Now, I’ve never struggled in school. I’ve always gotten my 4.0. Since I go to a private school, my curriculum is not specifically tailored to the AP curriculum, so I basically had to self study AP Physics C Mechanics, AP Stats, and AP Calc AB from march - may(since I was busy earlier), and managed to pull off all 5’s. And previous to that I was able to get a 2310 on my SAT(albeit with more than a month of prep). But I don’t feel, at least from online tests, that I have that 130-140 IQ. I’d hazard a guess of around 115-120? Can someone of my IQ succeed in a competitive school like Princeton?
