Do you have other summer plans that can’t be put off? Do you need to make $ over the summer, or is there any other program you are waiting to hear from? If not, then why wouldn’t you do it? You are not committing to being a journalist for the rest of your life, and you are not even committing to Princeton. You are committing to a summer program. Strange as it sounds, by now it is too late to get into any programs for low-income kids (scholarships go fast!) and the question I would ask is, do you have a chance to get into any of the others? S for example was a QB pre-college and college match finalist but did not get offers for any summer programs.

But by all means be honest and tell them you plan to study biomedical engineering, bc they might want to give the spot to someone who is more decided about journalism.
