I got into Princeton on Friday.

My stats:
1530 SAT I (770V, 760M), 800 writing, 750 math IIC, 770 French

4.231 GPA (weighted)
I'm #1/#2 in my class (it's coming down to the final grades at the end of the year)
My school is an all-girls, Catholic prep school right outside of DC.

APs- European History, US History, French Language
this year- Chemistry, Calc BC, English Lit, French Lit

ECs- editor in chief of our literary magazine, ukrainian school, piano, varsity track, sailing, NHS

Community Service- tutoring and homeshopping for the elderly

Summer- internship at the National Institutes of Health last summer, sailing instructor for the past 3 years

My teacher and counselor recs were excellent, I think. I know my counselor put a lot of time into hers. I think I did a good job with the required essays. They were personal in the sense that I don't think anyone else could have written the exact same thing. I also wrote an essay for the optional page, "do you have anything else to tell us," and I met with a Molecular Biology professor and the sailing captain. I really want to be on the sailing club team next year.
