I think your daughter is higly qualified to attend either Princeton or Stanford (or any other ivy for that matter), but I’m sure you probably knew that. :)

As far as chances for acceptance, I think that in this case, it really depends on how your daughter presented herself. For instance, reading that long list of extracurriculars, I didn’t really get a feel for who she was or what her passions were, although they were a little more revealing than many I’ve seen. If she chose to list activities that related to each other and really impacted her life (I’m fairly certain you can’t list all of those on the application, right?), and if her essays presented her as well as you say, then I think that she has a great chance at acceptance.

Best of luck!! :)
