<p>I have always been told that I do not have good enough grades to to Ivy Leagues or really prestigious schools. My scores were pretty good, but still people still thought I could not make it. My EC’s aren’t super great, since my parents never had money to do all of those expensive things. Like in 9th Grade, I was invited to be a People to People Ambassador, but there was no way my parents could pay for a $4,000 ticket. In 10th, I was invited to go to a NYLC meeting. There was no way my parents could pay for a $1,500 ticket to the meeting, as well as paying for other expenses on their own. The only reason I could have gone to college prep school was due to financial aid and the two academic scholarships that were reqarded to me. You guys really give me some hopes, but yeah, I know there are many chances that I can be rejected to Ivy leagues.</p>
