We look for students who make a difference in their schools and communities, so tell us about your leadership activities, interests, special skills and other extracurricular involvements. Tell us if you’ve had a job or a responsibility in your home. Most Princeton students were academic standouts in high school. Most of them also invested their energy and talents in significant ways outside the classroom. We want to know what you care about, what commitments you have made and what you’ve done to act on those commitments.

　　我们寻找的是那些能够使所在学校和社区因为自身而闪光的学生。所以，在申请时你需要让我们知道你组织和领导的活动情况，你的兴趣、特长和参与的除课业学习以外的课程等。你需要让我们知道你在家庭中担纲的角色或者承担的责任。大多数普林斯顿人在高中学业上都是出类拔萃的，而且他们还会将精力和智慧投入到课堂以外其他有意义的事情中。我们想了解的是，你关心什么，做过什么样的贡献，并且在其中扮演什么样的角色。
