Hey guys. So my dad keeps on forcing me to apply to Ivy League schools constantly. My main issue is I didn’t really want to go to Ivy League schools. I m looking more towards uc (I’m a CA resident) and some out of states. I don’t really like the kind of vibe I get off Ivy League schools and I have visited them before. The campus was nice but it wasn’t my style, if you get what I mean. Plus I highly doubt I can even get in. My gpa is 3.81 weighted and sat is about 1700(retaking). Nothing outstanding about me honestly that would interest in an Ivy League plus I don’t want to waste our money on that. Has anybody been through similar situations before and how did it work out?
Tell him what you told us. As of right now, you will not be getting into any Ivy League university. If he doesn’t care, just give him the peace of mind and apply and make sure to apply to the schools you are interested in too.
