You are smart and impressive. However, you also sound like a lot of Ivy applicants. Since you said you’re starting on your essays, I’ll assume you’re a junior. In that case, is there anything you could do to stand out over the summer? What do you want to major in? Could you do a mentorship or an internship? Get involved in a lab, etc? Follow your passion and your chances will hopefully go up! I hope you get in! :slight_smile:

Btw, chance me too!
