What does Princeton look for most?

I wouldn’t have gotten in if Princeton were fare more score-crazy then other ivies. I like to think that once you cross into the threshold of really good grades/scores that you have to stand out through your extracurriculars, essays, something.

I think essays are important since it’s your way to express yourself and show why you’re awesome and worth accepting over other people who may have better scores.
