Score Concert Band
How high should your ACT score be to be accepted to Princeton?
I’ve recently been looking at colleges, and I fell in love with Princeton. It’s a great school that gives out generous grants to people that need it (and I do!). Basically, it’s either Princeton or an in-state, average college for me.
I took the ACT in December and I got the following scores:
Composite: 32
English: 35
Math: 33
Reading: 34
Science: 26
I recently took the ACT with writing and I’m waiting for those scores. Do you think a 32 is a good enough score to be accepted into Princeton?
Some other information that may be useful, since I know the ACT isn’t everything:
I have a 4.07 GPA, I’m #1 in in my class, I’m taking 8 classes next year (five are AP), I’ll be editor-in-chief of the yearbook for the second year in a row (third year on yearbook staff), I volunteer weekly at a hospital, I’ve taken piano lessons since I was seven, I’ve been in marching band for four years, and I’ve been varsity concert band for two years (before that we didn’t have to audition).
Although a 32 is “good enough” to get into Princeton, you’ll help out your chances a lot by getting a higher score (Princeton has rejected people with 36s). Princeton is a very difficult school, and they get many qualified applicants with only so many spaces available.
That being said, don’t write Princeton off, because you are the type of person who does get accepted. Everyone says that you shouldn’t count on Princeton and that it’s difficult to get into, blah blah blah…but what they forget is that there ARE people who get in! And although at some point, it does get random who gets in and who gets waitlisted or rejected, you have to keep in mind that you are very qualified and could realistically get in.
Good luck!
