<p>i go to a public …high school … and broskiz, i understand your point. i’m not quite there though 
and also, i’m a “her” not a “he” haha!</p>
<p>… frankly, your stats are impossible because you are a sophomore. if you were a senior, I could believe it, but there’s no way at your grade level, unless you are pointing out EC’s from BEFORE 9th, which don’t count anyway.4</p>
<p>…</p>
<p>All the ECs are ninth grade and current. Really it’s not impossible- there are people I know personally with more., I’m just aware of the fact that top-tier colleges are EXTREMELY tough to get into. I’m just trying to figure out ahead of time what I should aim for.</p>
<p>Oh and btw, if the AP courses are the thing bothering you about my credibility, those are planned, not already taken. I’m only taking 3 of them right now.</p>

<p>I just don’t understand why you would assume a correlation between a high SAT and val status, especially since ranking systems vary widely. Last year, the only girl in my school with a 2400 was just inside the top 10% of a class of about 500; the val had a 2150. </p>
<p>But, OP, if you feel that you’re not living up to your potential, that’s the first place to start working: your grades.</p>
<p>The truth about the Ivy Leagues is that they will take anyone that will pay. Can you pay the high tuition? It seems like you believe a lot of myths about the Ivy Leagues. </p>
