<p>Generally my school has 2-3 students get into ivy leagues and 1-2 get into schools such as MIT. So my question is - am I looking at the right schools and what can I do to improve my chances for admission into them? Also, if it makes a difference, I am from MA. As said before, seeing so many students with superb extra curriculars and straight A's across the board are making be a bit concerned that I'm nowhere near qualifying for the colleges I'm aiming for. Any criticism/college ideas are much appreciated.</p>
