Princeton is a top three university in the US and a top five university in the world. It is extremely competitive.
To be qualified to get into Princeton, you need an unweighted GPA of at least 3.8, a weighted GPA above 4.0 (e.g., lots of honors and Advanced Placement classes), SAT scores above 2100/2400, a great interview, lots of solid extracurricular activities and a killer admissions essay.
You also need some luck -- because they only accept 10% of those who apply. If we assume that half the applicants are qualified (and I think the ratio is higher), then 80% of qualifies applicants get rejected.
Tuition is $33,000 per year. However, most students receive financial aid -- which brings the average cost down considerably.

It is DEFINITELY a good school! According to the US News Rankings it is the 2nd best in the country and like the 5th best in the world. If you get the chance to attend, definitely go there! A word of caution: it is very selective, so make sure that what you'll be studying is offered at princeton. For example, if you'll study fashion merchandising going to Princeton won't be such a good idea. Anyways, go to the princeton website to find out more about it if you want. I think it's www.princeton.edu. Good luck!

Princeton is VERY competitive and very expensive. It's a top 3 school. You need to have perfect grades and very high SAT scores. You will also need to take the TOEFL since you are an international student. Aid is need-based for the most part.

Princeton is extremely competitive, very expensive (though they're generous with financial aid), and they place a high value on students who show initiative. In other words, go to their website; if it doesn't answer all of your questions, contact admissions.
