PANIC! or not to PANIC! (IBers)

<p>hi, im new to CC. I’m still a sophomore at a high school.
im already worried about college lol. ive heard that princeton

is that true? is princeton one of them?</p>

<p>open for suggestions. ^__^</p>

<p>Luckily, you’re a sophomore and still have time to pull up your GPA. But in any case, you will need to ace all of your standardized tests to get into Princeton (all SATs over 700 at least).</p>
