The math program at Princeton is very difficult to get into but you are certainly on the right track. Considering the fact that you are a junior and has already completed ten grad courses I would say your priority should now be research. Most of the applicants would be like you; would have taken a considerable amount of grad classes, published papers and presented at conferences. The REU at williams and the one at duluth are very prestigious ones so you are on the right track. you should be able to publish something within the time you have left and you’ll probably get good recs. Try going through profiles of the grad students at princeton to see what kind of qualifications they have, also email professors you are interested in working with so that you can establish some kind of relationship with them. My advice, dont focus on princeton alone, try to include some other schools in there too.
