Your resume is impressive. That alone will not get you into Princeton though. You must remember, everyone one that is applying will have a resume similiar to yours. You must stand out. Your essay will sway the admissions committee's decision. Remeber those committees are usually made up of faculty and staff. So, do your research. Determine what classes you would like to take there, find the professors that teach them, research the professors, then work your research into your essay. Good luck and let me know how that turns out for you.

PS You should join www.facebook.com there is a group called 'Blacks in the Ivy League,' there you will be able to find alot of help.
I am not sure why with all of that you would doubt that you could get it. That doesn't mean you will get in - but it would be highly unlikely that they wouldn't accept you. What year of school are you? I mean if you are a senior why haven't you already applied or already heard back?



Good Luck!!!Can i get into princeton?
since you are an under-represented minority, you have a very good shot of getting in. Very Good. If you got that UW GPA up a little bit, you would definitely be in.
it looks good, u sure do a lot of extra curricular stuff. and i got accepted into the second best school in the world for my specialist subject and its 11th in the world considering all subjects (LSE) look it up. so wat im trying to say is, if i did, u can.Can i get into princeton?
The GPA is a bit low but you have so many sports and activities! You certainly have a good shot at getting in, especially if you apply early decision (or early action, whatever Princeton uses).
