Good Shot
Do I have a good shot at getting into Princeton University?
Hello. I'm currently a junior and I wanted to know if I had a good shot at getting into Princeton. I currently have a 4.6 GPA. I will take the ACT and SAT for the first time in February. I attended HOBY this past summer and I will attend governor school this summer. I'm of a minority ethnic group (not sure if it's important but just wanted to include it.)
Weighted GPAs are meaningless; every high school has their own weighting system. So you basically gave us nothing to go on. Everyone applying to Princeton has the highest grades in the hardest classes and very high test scores. You need that just to compete with everyone else, but they only take 10% of applicants, so you also need to find a way to stand out.
