Can I get into an Ivy?

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>Hi everyone. My apologies if this is in the wrong place, I'm new here. But here goes:</p>

<p>GPA Weighted = 4.4
GPA Unweighted = 3.7</p>

<p>SAT: 2360
ACT Comp: 32</p>

<p>AMC 12 score of 134
AIME score of 7</p>

<p>Qualified for USNCO with 56 on the local test
Qualified for USAPHO semi-final</p>

<p>15 AP tests taken: 7 5s, 6 4s, 2 3s.</p>

<p>Been playing tennis for 3 years, chess for 4 years, violin for 6 years.</p>

<p>What would my chances be to get into an Ivy (or similarly selective schools like Caltech, MiT, Stanford, Duke or UChicago)?</p>

<p>I would like to major in physics or astronomy, also.</p>

<p>The Ivies accept about 5-10% of applicants. Your chances are as good as anyone else who applies…you could be in that 5-10% or you could be on the 90-95% who do not get accepted. There are plenty of well qualified applicants to those schools who do not get accepted.</p>

<p>Just an FYI.</p>

<p>Yes, but surely they don’t just pick 5-10% of the applicants out of a hat! It seems to me that people with different qualifications would have different chances.</p>

<p>Most applicants have strong qualifications. Maybe not as strong as yours . . .</p>

<p>If allowed, sending your SAT, not ACT would be better unless its an SAT II thing</p>
