<p>The Ivies are a high reach. Your standardized tests are too low. There are sufficient numbers of black students now achieving 2100 and many many of them are applying to the Ivy League schools. Our son who has a 2120 3.7 gpa/4.3 weighted AP 5s, 800 Math II and APUSH…with 13 years of classical vioin training plus other ECs and summer jobs was just deferred by YALE. He attends a very rigorous private school. One of his friends, also black/AA had 2320 SAT and 3.8 GPA, National Merit Semi Finalist --he was accepted. Of the 7 seniors who applied 2 were accepted, 4 deferred and 1 rejected. The one child who was rejected was a young woman with a 3.6.</p>
<p>These schools tend to cut folks first at the baseline stats.</p>
