<p>It is so incredibly difficult to chance for Ivy League Schools. Your test scores seem great, so do your EC’s. Your GPA may hold you back as it is said time and time again to be the most important piece of the college application. </p>
<p>You have a shot. You are going to make it past the initial stack of papers probably based on your test scores alone. Shine through your essays, you need to reveal how hard you’ve had it, yet you’ve continued to strive to become an educated individual. </p>
<p>I agree with keepingcalm21; crush your essays and you are a prime candidate. The High School GPA isn’t good but your college one is great and those SAT scores are what the Ivies look for. Overall, you have a very convincing case.</p>
<p>You overcame adversity, which sets you apart from other applicants. Make sure to highlight how you tackled challenges and took advantage of opportunities, and the extent to which you participated in extracurriculars, and I believe you have a very good chance. </p>
<p>Great stats. Make sure you indicate why you didn’t apply as a senior. What was your gpa like in high school?
Other than that, I’d say you have a good chance at getting in, considering that you write amazing essays.
Which schools are you planning on applying to?</p>
<p>Some great stats. But It is awfully difficult to transfer into an Ivy. Maybe even harder than just regularly applying. not sure though. But still try of course. At least one is bound to give you admissions when you have great stats. just crush essay.</p>
<p>I think you are a good candidate for most Ivies. You’ll probably get into Cornell. Ivies love debaters. I wish I was better at it. In general Ivies are really subjective once you get past the SAT/ GPA requirement. I think if you write a great essay you have a good chance. Living in a state where not many people apply to Ivies will definitely help. Thanks for chancing me and good luck!</p>
<p>I think debate will really help you out. As a fellow NFLer, it is beneficial both on and off applications. But with your current college GPA, your SAT, and extenuating circumstances,
You should be good for at least one Ivy League. Good luck!!</p>
