What does it take to get accepted into Princeton?

Question

Like grades, scores, what do I need? I have one dream and not much money, but I really want to go to Princeton.

Answer 1

Take the hardest courses available at your high school (hard classes, honors, APs) and get all A's, do one sport and a few extracurricular activities where you develop leadership, hit up your counselor about your dream, and I guarenteeyou'll get into Princeton. If you you are savvy enough you'll find scolarships, grants, etc that will fund your education. Also, do not waste your summers. These are opportunites to do volunteering, summer school, etc. Get about 300 volunteering hours. All of this should be enough to go to school wherever you want to go. Oh, and also, get good SAT and ACT test scores.

Answer 2

Just remember that everyone else who applies has straight A's, extracurricular activities, volunteer hours and near perfect SAT/ACT test scores
