Chance me for an Ivy League?

<p>I do the IB [International Baccalaureate] and currently average around points out of 42 [not counting the 3 additional points]. I'm ranked 1/121.</p>

<p>SAT scores - CR -800
Writing - 770
Math - 770</p>

<p>SAT II's haven't been taken yet, but I'm planning to take Math 2, Physics, and maybe French.</p>

<p>EC's and Community Service</p>

<ul>
<li>one of the school prefects</li>
<li>set up a student organization within the school</li>
<li>started a theatre group, we've put up two productions until now in different parts of the town. [ we sold tickets, and everything]</li>
<li>play the piano</li>
<li>volunteer with Dream a Dream - conducted confidence building activities with underprivileged children</li>
<li>worked in combination with 3 charitable organizations to set up an online donation portl for them</li>
</ul>

<p>Which Ivy League school do you want to get into? They are all pretty different.</p>

<p>Well roughly based on those stats which ones do you think I’d have a shot at?
Could I get Brown, Cornell or UPenn?
And what would I need for Harvard or Yale or Princeton?</p>

<p>Which one(s) do you WANT to get into? And why? If you are going to go for it you need to do your homework and have some genuine reasons besides “they are Ivies.” What do you want to study/do with your life?</p>

<p>You really need to add some more EC’s!</p>

<p>Ok, what kind? I’m on the yearbook committee next year, but some ideas would be appreciated.</p>

<p>I want to study cognitive science with a concentration in artificial intelligence and behavioral economics.</p>

<p>Try to find things related to your intended major. Like if you wanna go into bio/pre-med, then find an internship/volunteer at a hospital or something. If you don’t know what you’re going to major in, then just make sure your EC’s are extremely varied to show you are well-rounded. And yearbook committee is a good start to show that!</p>

<p>Well I am currently doing an internship at a company that specialises in predictive analytics and machine learning. This is a branch of AI, and I am keen on studying something of the sort. Thanks :)</p>

<p>Isn’t it fun to make up these profiles. There are more students with 800 scores than there are students taking the test each sitting. lol loads of fun!</p>
