<p>I am a rising senior in high school and I am currently working on a summer research project in a MAE lab at princeton. I was just wondering how Princeton admissions would look at this on my college app (how much importance would it have)?</p>
<p>(Princeton is also writing an article for the home page on their website about me and 2/3 other high school students who are working on summer projects at Princeton)</p>
<p>Also, I attend a public school in NJ. Princeton has not accepted anyone from my school in the past 5/6 years except for 1 athlete(football player) this year. Does this affect/decrease my chances of getting in to Princeton?</p>
