<p>Hi,
I was recently wondering what some of you thought about my chances of getting into an Ivy league school (especially Princeton, Yale, Cornell and Brown). I know it is near impossible to predict but I am just looking for insight.
I am almost done with sophomore year and some of the highlights of my 2 HS years to date include:
3.9 unweighted GPA (all honors+advanced+AP courses offered to date)
5th or 6th in my class
Key Club both years
Student Council 2 years, Executive board next year
Hugh Obrian Youth Leadership conference for Freshmen and the 3 day Sophomore seminar this year
FBLA
decent amount of volunteer work
1 Varsity sport for 2 years + 2 JV sports
National Honor Society
As you can see, leadership and helping people are things i am passionate about and i try to tie them together. I will be able to get recommendation letters from teachers that have good histories in the way of strong letters. I am capable of writing strong essays(i've written this quite hastily) so that shouldn't be an issue. I plan to take the math SAT subject tests along with 1 science.
I know it's early and im just lookng for advice on what to improve etc.
Thank you!</p>
<p>Nothing stands out to be quite honest. Decent GPA for most schools but that’s a glaring negative when it comes to an Ivy. Even then, you’re a sophomore. Focus more time on beefing up your application with meaningful things rather than posting on here.</p>
<p>Can’t chance without an SAT or ACT score.</p>
<p>practice SAT’s (not through school,jsut on my own) predicted between 1900-2200 also interested in RPI (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute) a local school.CentralFC,i appreciate the honesty,the reason i posted here was to get suggestions on what to do the next 2 years to help make me stand out a little more</p>
<p>Set yourself apart. That’s the only advice one needs.</p>
<p>If you get a 2200, those schools listed save for Cornell will be high reaches. Cornell will be reach.</p>
<p>If you get a 1900, forget about the Ivies and similar schools.</p>
