<p>I received a C in biology, chemistry, and physics. My overall GPA is in the 3 point something range and I have over 2000 on my SATs. I really hope Princeton accepts me. They always say they are looking for diversity. Maybe, academice diversity (not being valedictorian or a national merit finalist) also applies.</p>
<p>Please pray for me.</p>
<p>I think that by academic diversity they mean poor students, though? (Not saying you are a poor student, but three c’s does say something. I think academic diversity is more that they they value different types of academics: natural sciences, engineering, arts, humanities, linguistics etc…</p>
<p>Generally, I think that Princeton won’t accept you if you don’t have anything that appeals to them. If you have something special about you - they might overlook your rather poor grades. But if you don’t… All I can say is good luck.</p>
