<p>Truthfully, extremely slim… your grades aren’t too bad, but pretty bad for Princeton… your sat scores are the real problem, unfortunately- only about 1/4 of those with 2300 to perfect sat scores are accepted, and a 1900 is on the very low side.</p>

<p>A lot of kids are in EC’s similar to yours, and it would have been impressive only if you published a book that won a lot of awards and stuff…</p>

<p>I think this website will help [Princeton</a> University | Admission Statistics](<a href=“http://www.princeton.edu/admission/applyingforadmission/admission_statistics/]Princeton”>http://www.princeton.edu/admission/applyingforadmission/admission_statistics/)</p>

<p>Remember there are many great universities besides Princeton you could very likely get into. good luck!</p>

<p>High reach, I’m sorry to say.
GPA is solid but it won’t get you in. Your SAT scores are just far too low. There is a chance, but its pretty slim. Retake those SATs. If you can get to around 2100 you’ll greatly improve your chances!</p>

<p>Princeton doesn’t look at freshman grades, so you should consider your GPA with the freshman grades deleted. So you were 4.0 until this last semester, when the grades tanked–and both this (downward grade trend) and the SATs therefore work against you.</p>
