<p>These Ivies are looking for ONE specific thing that sets you apart. They’re going to look past the student council president with stellar scores and instead look at the founder of a non-profit, the girl who started a health campaign, someone who has won a national competition. With your scores/E.C.s you will blend in. Make sure your essays stand out!</p>
