<p>Before we go into my details I would like to say that I wasn't in any honors my freshman year because I didn't get my teacher recommendations, but there were only two honors classes and in those classes that I wasnt in, I ended up get the highest averages.

<p>When are you applying?</p>
<p>Have you looked into getting recruited?</p>
<p>I’ll be applying next year man. This is just what I think my resume wi end up lookin like.</p>
<p>your best bet is to start contacting the coaches. Your academics are acceptable but academics don’t guarantee an admission. Athletics with an interested coach on the other hand can take you much further.</p>
<p>texaspg has the right idea. I admit that it is almost as hard becoming an athletic recruit as getting into an Ivy, but you should look into it earnestly. Dartmouth might be the first one to contact because it is the smallest.</p>
<p>If that is not viable because of injury, logistics, etc. and assuming your senior year goes well, then I estimate your chances at:</p>
<p>25% Cornell 35-45% if ED
20% UPenn 35% if ED
15% Brown, Dartmouth
10% Yale, Columbia, Princeton, Harvard</p>
<p>You are certainly one of those solid, almost perfect, unhooked applicants that fill Ivy classes. That being said, unless you are recruited, your transcript may not be as strong as other applicants, although that might be your school’s fault more than yours.</p>
<p>Regardless, good luck!</p>
<p>Oh, and don’t forget to get 700+ on a few subject tests!</p>
<p>220 power clean is top 5 in school history? Wow 205 has me at “kinda strong” in my school lol.</p>
<p>If you’re top 10 in state for track, chances are you can get recruited for athletics. Your academics are definitely strong enough if you’re a recruited athlete. If you aren’t recruited for athletics, your application doesn’t really stand out.</p>
<p>I think you seem to have the (very common) misconception that the Ivy League schools are THE undisputed best ones in the US. That’s simply not true. They are all amazing schools, and are consistently ranked at or near the top of the charts–but “Ivy League” is an athletic conference. There are many schools that are basically exactly the same level as these schools. There are many schools that are even more selective than some of the Ivys.</p>
<p>And, of course, the Ivy League schools are all incredibly different. The kind of person who would thrive at Brown would be entirely different than the type who would thrive at Dartmouth. Instead of becoming focused on the Ivys in general, you need to look at what you actually want from a school. Don’t fall for the classic misconceptions–do your research and find a school that’s perfect for you! Good luck :)</p>
