Canadian Trying To Get Into An American University

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I feel as if many Canadians have a lot of dilemma when trying to get into elite universities, because of the credits, AP Courses, etc. </p>

<p>My situation:</p>

<p>Many of the Ivy League Universities suggest that candidates take the following:</p>

<pre><code> 4 years of English
4 years of a foreign language
2/3/4 years of science
3 years (at least) of history, including American and European History
4 years of math
</code></pre>

<p>However, what I'm worried about is the 3 years of history. All I have right now is Canadian History, and I am wondering if I should take American and/or European History outside of school. Would this be necessary? </p>

<p>Thank you in advance! </p>

<p>Why are you focused specifically on the Ivies would be my first question. And which Ivies are you looking at?</p>
