<p>Lets suppose my GPA is a 3.2 at the end of junior year with a SAT score of 1700. What can i do in order to get into an ivy league. I am willing to do anything. Please list suggestions, thanks.</p>
<p>If I were in your situation, I would spend my summer drafting an operation to frame one of the Deans of Admissions at whichever Ivy you choose through use of an hired escort, then proceed to blackmail him with evidence of his indecency in order to gain admission.</p>
<p>^lol</p>

<ol>
<li>apply and get immediately rejected</li>
<li>become black/hispanic/native american and REALLY poor</li>
<li>go to the interview in a wheel chair with an eye patch and talk about your “accident” and how it inspired you</li>
<li>pray that the dean of admissions like teenage boys</li>
</ol>
<p>I would be realistic and start looking at your other options. A minority at my school got into a top Ivy this year and though her SATs were pretty low from an Ivy point of view (1800ish), she had a very high GPA and fairly decent ECs. Unless you are uber hooked (third generation to go to that Ivy AND a URM or something like that), I don’t think your chances are too good. But you can retake your SAT in June and next fall and try to raise your score and work to strengthen your ECs. That may help.</p>
<p>It’s impossible. Start looking into reasonable schools.</p>

<p>Unfortunately, when you start thinking about college, you have to ditch the mentality that you can do whatever you want if you just set your mind to it, since the world doesn’t work that way. Getting into an Ivy League school is one of the things that you just won’t be able to do.</p>
<p>Well, why don’t you examine some students who have been accepted and some who have been rejected:</p>

<p>After you look at some of them, why don’t you report back with what you see are some of your shortcomings? It seems you’ve been told previously but you seem to not see your academic performance as a barrier to your admission.</p>
<p>You’ll need to get over your desire to attend an Ivy League school, it’s not happening.</p>
<p>Join the Military, win the Medal of Honor, apply for Grad School</p>
<p>Star in a feature film made by a major studio.</p>
<p>Your chances are just too low…like 1 in a million. Students with 2300+ and straight A’s get rejected from ivies.</p>
<p>Unless you get a recommendation letter from Obama, your chances are honestly slim.</p>
<p>Why do you want to go to an Ivy League school anyway? Prestige? If so, you need to reevaluate your priorities.</p>
<p>There’s nothing wrong with wanting an Ivy for the prestige. You just have to accept that a big part of the reason they’re so prestigious is that they reject most of their applicants.</p>
<p>^or that they are actually pretty good schools.</p>
<p>Go to the best school you can get into, work your off there, go to an ivy for grad school. but undergrad is out of the question</p>
<p>
This.
But seriously, why does it have to be an Ivy? Apply somewhere realistic.</p>
<p>Ivies are overrated. I wouldn’t want to go there, and I probably have a decent chance too. I think you need to really anyalyze why you want to go to an ivy, I mean, it doesn’t seem like you’ve cared enough to be beast at sats and grades, so idk, you probably don’t really want to go. </p>
<p>Look at awesome private liberal arts schools, and state schools you’d like. It’s not that it’s impossible, you could just put 1000% into school and sat prep from now on… but it isn’t worth it. </p>
<p>Do you what you think is best. You know what’s good.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, I have to agree with others…your chance of getting into an Ivy with that GPA and SAT score is next to zero. Apply to one or two if you want to try your luck, but don’t expect an acceptance. Have you tried taking the ACT? You may want to do that just to see what happens…if you can get a 34, 35, or 36 that would make the Ivies a slightly more realistic option, although your GPA is still very much on the low side.</p>
<p>But there are plenty of schools that would love to have you and that you would probably love attending. What Ivies are you interested in? If you tell us what Ivies you were considering and what you liked about them, we can help you find schools with similar offerings and climates that are more realistic for someone with your stats.</p>
