<p>Princeton requires 3 SAT subject tests so make sure you have them and nobody knows for sure with chances, your scores are all a bit low for Princeton but on the otherhand, you are what they refer to as lopsided and they say they like lopsided candidates as well. All you can do is put together your best application and sit back and wait. Good Luck.</p>

<p>Your smilies made me smile, I can’t believe you took them off! Anyway, here is what I think:

  1. You’re amazing.
  2. You obviously took interest in certain EC’s and dedicated yourself to them. You didn’t just try to spread yourself out thin.
  3. I got a 2 on APUSH, too. Let’s celebrate!
  4. Your acceptance and involvement in the METS program is extremely commendable. There is nothing like it besides itself, and is a definite hook for you at Princeton.
  5. You’re my best friend :)</p>

<p>I do phenomenally well in english, and I am an avid reader. I read Dante’s Inferno for recreation last summer. However, my writing and verbal are terrible. Do you think colleges will be able to see this reflected in my high grades in honors english courses?</p>
