What does Princeton look for most?

I think around 2100 is passable if you have other outstanding (but not necessarily ridiculous on the national level) ec’s. I know somebody here with amazing EC’s who got in with 1990.

I know somebody with around a 2250 with not that great EC’s but probably great essays.

It’s different for different people. You can’t really know.

Just do your best, try to represent your passions and interests, and try to have essays that express who you are and why you’re you and why you’re awesome. That’s my advice.

Sorry to be super vague.
