- easiest for philosophy
- easiest for business
- easiest in general
thx
Unfortunately, this question make it sounds like you may be a candidate to apply to all 8 of them…
I don’t know what you are hoping to achieve by going off of that…If you are just trying to get into an Ivy, you’re trying for the wrong thing. What is an Ivy anyway? Only a sports league. Yes, they are all very good schools, but there are other schools equally (if not better) than Ivy’s in terms of rank. (UChicago, and MIT come to mind). Don’t think about what Ivy is easiest to get into, or what is easiest to get into. This shouldn’t be the criteria.
This is the type of post that wil make seasoned posters such as myself groan in despair.
They will never admit somone just because they say they want to major in Ancient Sanskrit. Or philosophy. If you are really interested, it’s very easy to look up the acceptance rates for all of them. Choose the one with the highest acceptance rate. Good luck.
And please do basic research. We only looked at a few Ivies so I will speak to personal research. Harvard and Princeton don’t admit by Major. Penn admits by school so business matters but it doesn’t take much research to know that getting into Wharton is harder than SEAS. I expect at least some of the other Ivies don’t admit by major. Pretty sure Columbia, Yale, and Brown don’t. Cornell may.
Build a list of questions and get online at the colleges websites and see what they say. Start there and then ask follow up questions here.
In no order, Cornell and Penn – the two, I believe, that offer business.
You have another thread asking about loopholes to get into Ivys – you need to understand that short of having a major hook (ex. recruited athlete, parents are huge donors, movie star etc.) that there are no shortcuts to get into a top tier school.
From other posts it seems that you have B’s and C’s in science courses, a C in Algebra, and a D in the first semester of Geometry. You have been told time and time again that these grades won’t get you into an Ivy league school. In addition, you have said that your ACT is 6-8 points below where you would like it to be. Please understand that the top level colleges have acceptance rates generally under 10% and do not have room for all of the extremely well qualified applicants who have perfect GPAs, perfect standardized tests, amazing ECs etc. I
Use your remaining time in HS to make your academic profile as strong as you can – but IMO your time and energy would be much better spent seeking out colleges that are a match for your statistics and appear affordable. It is time to expand your horizons and recognize that there are tons of amazing colleges and universities out there where you can have a great 4 year experience and get where you want to go in life.
And I agree with the others that before posting such a broad question that you should first do your own research by reading the college websites, looking in college guide books etc.
If you want a loophole to get into a Ivy, look at Harvard Extension. Trying to sneak in by claiming interest in a less popular major will be seen a mile away by the admissions people.
And in Harvard Extension as a full time 18 year old you will be the subject of ridicule from many as a poseur.
Glancing at all your threads you come across as someone who will not be admitted to any top 20 college.
I applaud your desire to go to a well regarded school. Ivies are basically a lottery and many perfect test score NMF valedictorians don’t get it. They are unlikely for most kids that have perfect records. Sure you should buy a lottery ticket but you will be spending a lot of time on supplemental essays for schools you have probably a less than 1% chance of getting into. Plus Ivies aren’t everything…some of them incredibly low scores for teaching.
