<p>Since you posted on the “African Americans 2015 thread” and also started a thread called “Race in the mind of an African American,” I assumed you’re African American as am I.</p>
<p>Anyway, you have nothing to lose by applying to Ivies even if your gpa is between 3.3-3.6. The worst that can happen is that you’ll be rejected. If you don’t apply, you have no chance of being accepted. If you apply, just make sure you have realistic match and safety schools that you’d love attending, and make sure you apply to at least one school that you know you’ll be accepted to, know you would enjoy, and know you can afford.</p>
<p>I give that advice to everyone regardless of race or stats.</p>
