Nothing can guarantee that you’ll get into Princeton. You sound like a verifiable nerd and genius, and I mean that as a compliment, if all that stuff about the math that you have studied (and presumably at least semi-understand) is true. How are your grades overall?

There’s no need to have a dream school. That’s just setting yourself up for disappointment for no good reason. There are plenty of places that you can get solid foundations in physics and math. By all means apply to Princeton, but that shouldn’t be your life goal.
