This is hypothetically speaking, but more or less my application would look like this
Would I have a decent shot with a
4.0 UW GPA (never gotten a B)
Class Rank 6/690 (large public school)
15 APs through high school
1550/1600 SAT (750 R/W 800 M)
That’s where it stops though, my extracurriculars are weak. I’m part of a few clubs but nothing special or big. I’m secretary for SMILE club and secretary for Red Cross. My biggest accomplishment is starting my own service club with over 30 members that runs monthly projects. I have 150+ service hours and tutor local middle schoolers as a part time job. I also was employed for 1 month at a restaurant over the summer. Say my essay was stellar and my recommendations were also very good, you think I could get in? I’m fine with applying ED as this is my first choice. I’m just worried that not many people get into ivies solely based off academics.
anyone?
Yes, you can potentially get in. I don’t know what else you are looking for. For me to come up with a % of how likely you are to get in would be random and not very useful to you (even if you think it may be useful). Just keep working hard, and you’ll see what happens when the time comes that you apply.
