What are my chances of getting into Princeton University?


I'm currently a sophomore at Princeton Highschool. I'd like to know what it takes to get accepted at the university. During my highschool career, I have the plan of taking 12 APs total:
AP Calc BC
AP U.S History
AP World History
AP Physics
AP Chemistry
AP Macroeconomics
AP Microeconomics
AP Computer Science
AP English 3
AP English 4
AP Statistics
AP French
Also, being a couple minutes from the University, I'll be taking computer science there in senior year along with students who attend that college. This counts as a class at my school.
Clubs - volleyball, tennis, syndicate of VMED, computer club, ultimate fisbee, winter track, and meat club. I'm a tutor and have around 50 hours currently for community service . I also have a job and a small business. I'm part of Project GAIA and will be for 3 years. I'm able to get recommendations from 2 parents of my friends who work at the university. Weighted GPA is 3.8, unweighted is 3.5. Does being Pakistani help or hurt? What can I do to get in

Does being Pakistani help or hurt? Funny, better hope it hurts because if they reveal that in any way, sue the hell out of the admins and Princeton will be falling over itself trying to let you in. By the way, anyone ever tell you that you are a over-achiever. All I have is a Mensa acceptance letter and an amazingly big ego. Never really got the whole point over why colleges care about the sports and other extra-curricular things. They still get your money up front, so what is the problem with you not being perfectly well rounded.

If you're a woman or a minority you'll definately get in. Its easier to get in if you are.

for a smart person you really are stupid. how the hell would we know, we aren't on their admissions board.

go ask one of them.

How much money do you and/or your family have? That's all that counts to them or you for that matter.

I would say yes!

You have a reasonable shot - certainly worth applying. And you are the exact type of student they are after for sure in the sense of wanting to take on academic challenges. But schools like that are a tough ask for anyone - they reject people with perfect scores all the time. You have done rigorous AP classes - and that will help. Perhaps the best help of all is presenting your application in the best light:

For what its worth I get a good felling about your chances - even better than those with perhaps a slightly better GPA. You should also think about other schools:

With thlose grades you will get into a good school for sure. So please do explore other options.

Thanks
