Answer 2

Princeton is one of the most selective schools in the country (admits only about 13% of applicants) so you have to be among the best of the best to go there.

In a vaccuum it's a little tough to answer the question about math. If you aren't majoring in anything math-related, then that alone isn't enough to keep you out of the University. Of much more importance would be your overall courseload (how rigorous is it?), how you're doing with those courses, what extracurricular activities are you involved with, how are you standardized test scores, how glowing will your letters of recommendation be from teachers, etc.?

Yes, Princeton has football.

Read the Fiske Guide to Colleges for great insight into about 300 major schools, and register at www.collegeboard.com if you haven't already.

I suggest you set your sights on some additional schools, as well as on Princeton. Learn about them, visit them, and see which is really a good fit (yes, overused term, but it makes sense!) for you. Take steps to improve and expand where you need to.
