<p>I’d say you are on track for Ivy League given your grades and your background. As long as you have a solid ACT or SAT score (>2200 or >32) and keep getting good ECs and grades than I definitely think you defininitely have a shot to get an Ivy League education especially the less prestigious ones like Cornell or Penn. I think one thing that you should really write about when you apply to these schools is your background being from Africa. Most of these Ivy League schools want a diverse student population so your unique background makes you stand out from all the other applicants.</p>

<p>-Hispanic who doesn’t go to an ivy league school himself but has a brother who does.</p>

<p>Thanks, i was just kind of wondering because from all the other threads i’ve seen, it’s chockfull of asians with 100s of ECs.</p>

<p>What did your brother do to get in?</p>

<p>Wait, what do you think my chances are at Brown?</p>

<p>

You’re set.</p>

<p>lol, I’ve been reading about how colleges just love minorities. (Good thing, i’m not white/asian)</p>

<p>Was really into music played in many competitions since he was little. Also worked in a research lab over the summers. was in some clubs, had high SAT and ACT scores and ranked #5 out of around 700. His high school wasn’t even near the top 100 in the country like yours though.</p>

<p>Really? so, i guess my school must be more rigorous. I may just have a chance. I’m really aiming for Duke/Cornell.</p>

<p>Duke or Cornell would both be pretty good targets. Cornell has the least competitive admissions of any of the Ivies but is a great school. Duke is right around the same level of competitive-ness.
Any idea what you want to study in college? The program you apply to in a school obviously has some bearing on your chances of admission.</p>

11

<p>Uh, I’m really aiming for a biology major.</p>

<p>Eh, but i heard cornell’s weather is pretty bad</p>

<p>the fact that ur black with these grades makes it much easier for the ivies. apply to all the top tier schools and youll get into a few</p>
