<p>Hi everyone! I'm a student from Ontario, Canada and I'm currently in grade 11. My marks from grade 9,10, and first semester of grade 11 have been very bad (80% - 86% average). M grades always had an upward trend each year (increasing by 2% - 4%) However, I have become much more motivated in the second semester of this year and I am committed to getting a high average. I am taking Physics, Chemistry and Grade 12 Data Management, I also have a spare. I am currently getting a 95%+. If i have a 2200 to 2250 on my SAT's, do you think i have a chance of competing with Ivy League schools? I have tons of extra curricular (business ventures ect. multiple co founder of organizations inside and outside of school)</p>
<p>If you achieve that score on your SAT, you will have a chance! (The Ivies are a reach for anyone, of course, but you’ll have a chance.) Upward trend is good, your SAT would be in the ballpark, and your ECs sound impressive.</p>
<p>When applying, make sure to research fit and cost–not all Ivies will be a good fit for you</p>
<p>Do you think that they would disregard my grade 9 and 10 marks? I am sure that I would be able to get my grade 12 average up considering I am taking a grade 12 course now and achieving a 95+. </p>
<p>They won’t disregard them. Perhaps they will take them in context, though.</p>
<p>Also, what do Ivy Leagues look at most from SAT’s, transcript and EC’s</p>
<p>The schools look at all of them.
Try to bring your SAT to at least 2300 level.
The upward trend in your grades is good. Your ECs are good.</p>
