<p>I go to a very small Catholic school in the inner city where about 95% of the students are minorities, there only about 40 students in my graduating class.</p>

<p>I will take the most difficult courses available senior year (note that my school only offers two AP courses, i have already taken one junior year and will take the other this upcoming year)</p>

<p>I am going to be the second in my family to go to college</p>

<p>I attented the Junior Statesmen of America summer program at Princeton during the month of July, 2006. I received a semester worth of credits for AP Government and Politics and a semester worth of credits for Speach Communications.</p>

<p>Activities: student council, Art club, Cooking Club, Latin Dance, Coach K kids (a student run community service club at our school where we organize food drives and walk-a-thons etc.) and my school will have debate for the first time this year so i will most likely be a part of that</p>

<p>outside of school: I have been a sunday school school teacher at my local church for the past 3 years and will continue teaching this upcoming year. I have over 300 hours of community service.</p>

<p>Awards: Provisional memeber of the national honors society (sophomore year), inducted into the national honor society (junior year), was chosen to attend the Governors school of Public Issues at Monmouth Univeristy for the month of July, 2007</p>

<p>THE WORST PART OF MY PROFILE…SAT SCORES</p>

<p>I scored 490 in the critical reading, 510 in math, 540 in writing = 1540 overall
(Extremely horrible, I know!)
I have not taken any of SAT II exams yet and will retake the reasoning exam</p>

<p>this concludes my profile, I would like for anyone to be honest and tell me if have any chances of getting into Princeton. Thank you</p>

<p>SAT automatically disqualifies you. Sorry dude. You know you need 2 sat 2’s so get cracking. Since everyone at your school is a minority if other people apply with similar gpa’s but better test scores they will get in over you.</p>

<p>“SAT automatically disqualifies you.”</p>

4

<p>just pull up your SAT scores… and AAwill get you through haha :D</p>

5

<p>It’s only 2 SAT II’s these days? I thought it was 3.</p>

6

<p>Even with AA, you need to get your reasoning score up by at least 600 points. It’s never really been done.</p>

7

<p>He needs at least a 2250. A 3.6 is not bad but won’t get him in. EC’s are decent. If you can aim for a 2300+.</p>

<p>Also one word of advice don’t post your name on internet forums.</p>

8

<p>You don’t need 2250 considering the average SAT score for Princeton is under 2200.</p>

<p>That being said, your current SAT score doesn’t cut it by at least 500-600 points.</p>

9

<p>Sorry, try to retake the SATs though</p>

10

<p>Yeah, I’d ask the College Confidential administrators to delete your name from your post. :P</p>
