<p>Hello I'm a 10th Grade Sophomore at a public high school and right now my goal is to attend an Ivy League University. Of course Ivy League is not all that's important but i'd love to attend on and i'd like to know what you may think?
GPAUW: 3.5-3.6
GPAW: 4.1
Courses:
- I am currently taking two AP courses which should really boost my weighted GPA by almost having A's in both.
- Currently enrolled in the International Baccalaureate Program (Very rigorous program) with 6-7 courses throughout Jr/Sr year all IB; equivalent to AP. Also taking extra AP course Jr. Year
Extracurricular:
- Currently doing/did three varsity sports (planning to continue) Varsity Football, Wrestling & Track.
- In April I really want to begin coaching little league youth football which I would love to do all throughout high school
I've spoken to my counselor and have researched it a lot, Ivy isn't just grades or community service, its much more and in depth. What would you suggest because I am very innovative, just do not know which path would be best. Do you think I'm on the right track, any first hand experiences and tips?
Thank-you, JayR</p>
<p>I hate to bust your dreams kid, a 3.6 UW won’t even make it past initial cut offs, droves of kids apply with 4.0s and 2400s are rejected…and yeah ivy isn’t about grades, because a 4.0 2300+ are MINIMUM requirements, i would look into other tier two/three schools…and work your butt off</p>
<p>Don’t ■■■■■ him. Yes, a 3.6 isn’t that great, but 4.0 and 2300+ are insane requirements. People get in with lower grades than that. You should just try to have great EC’s relevant to what you want to do, and score around what most accepted students score at. You will never have 100% chance, but those aren’t minimum requirements.</p>
<p>Unless you have an insanely high class rank, your GPA is too low. You need to bring your UW GPA up to at least a 3.8 for them to be reachable.</p>
