<p>My friend got accepted into all Ivy Leagues.
His/Her SAT was about 1550
S/he took 3 SAT IIs. All of them close to 750
GPA (s/he said s/he put top 10%)
His/her activities were
President of debate team (s/he has been in it for 4 years but president in his/her senior year)
And leaders in someother clubs. (Key club, 4H, whatever)
S/he got good recommendations from her Eng, History teachers</p>
<p>I thought only special peopl get accepted to Ivies
Although I don't know what s/he wrote in her essays, s/he wrote it last minute with other essays for other ivies. s/he got accepted into all those ivies. Why and How did she get accepted?</p>
<p>I still think that the majority of spots at ivies are filled by people with similar stats. She had above average SATs, and her GPA was probably like 3.9 or 4. They say all you need is showing dedication in one or two clubs; she showed that by being in debate for all four years.</p>
<p>Maybe she shouldn't have got into all the ivies, but she's definitely solid.</p>
