<p>Hey guys, I'm an Illinois resident who just applied to Princeton ED, and I have no idea what my chances are. Feel free to disenhearten me!</p>
<p>Okay. Right now:
4.00 (UW) GPA (high school), rank: 1 (along with 14 others)
4.00 (UW) GPA (college--i have taken the equivalence of one semester worth of courses--by the end of this year, I will have taken about 1.5 years of courses, but my 4.00 GPA will probably get ****ed)</p>
<p>800 Verbal
800 Math
800 Literature
800 US History
800 Chemistry
800 Biology
800 Writing
800 Math IIc</p>
<p>36/36/32/36, 35 Composite ACT</p>
<p>National Merit Semi-Finalist</p>
<p>Captain of Varsity Academic Bowl, two years</p>
<p>Third place Website Design for National Website Design competition</p>
<p>Okay, now here's where I turn to ****:</p>
<p>My essays aren't anything special. Neither are my recommendations.</p>
<p>I don't really have any other distinguishments. I don't participate in sports, I volunteer very seldomly (mostly political activism), and I go to a crap school with no AP courses and like three courses it classifies as "Honors" (you can tell it's crap just by the amount of people who are valedictorian).</p>
