<p>I am a 15 year old girl, I live in England. I am at secondary school at the moment, and I wanted to know if I have a chance on an ivy league school, e.g. Brown, Yale or Harvard.
Academics
Grade: A*/A<br>
Rank: Top 2%

SATII: I have not taken them, but I will take them in October.
I am taking GCSEs English lit and language, English lit, Religious studies, Food technology, IT, Math and science.
After GCSEs I intend to take four A-levels - English lit, psychology, Religious studies and Law </p>
<p>Extracurricular:
Book club
Science club
I write short stories and novels, does that count. </p>
<p>Jobs/volunteer work
I intend to start when i am 16 </p>
<p>I have not taken a second language, but does English count as it is not my first language.</p>
<p>Looks like a great start but I think it’s really too early to tell.
But as a Brown admitted student (2014!), I have to say they’re very interested in “creativity.”</p>
<p>I suggest going out and doing things out of the ordinary.
My grades are not straight A’s and my SATs were not near perfect but I develop computer games and made a club where I teach game development. I believe that really caught their attention.</p>
<p>Your writing sounds like a great place to foster your creativity - try getting one published maybe? You never know!</p>
<p>As for Yale and Harvard, I did not apply to either, but Harvard has said that it is looking for individuals with focus in a field.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>^^
def right on it too early to tell but so far so good.
Make sure to get really involved in activities, taking leadership positions (Im editor of yearbook and VP of art club) and it’s good to show that whatever your passion is, you make the most out of it</p>
<p>In fact, in my acceptance letter, they commended my skills in Latin. I have taken Latin all four years (am taking AP Latin), in the Latin Team at school, and have won countless of awards for Latin. I think it’s better to be really involved in a few clubs then being in a bunch of clubs but hardly really being involved in those. Anyways just keep up the good grades!</p>
