girl from the UK needs some serious advice about applying to ivy leagues!!!

<p>hey everyone! I need some help--- i don't have a clue wat my chances at ivy league unis are, my lecturer suggested i apply for postgrad studies.
So... in my GCSE's i got 4A* 5A and 1B. in My a-levels i got 3A and 1B.</p>

<p>I'm studying a batchelor of science degree at Manchester Uni in the UK which is one of the best in the country and my grades are teetering between a 1st and a 2.1- 69%.</p>

<p>I want to study film studies at postgrad level preferably at Yale but i'm open to other ivy leagues!I have quite alot of work/voluntary experience in the area of film...i.e i have my own website where i review films and i help out underprivelidged kids to be creative i.e art, poetry, acting. I have quite a few other extra curriculars like varsity sports and amnesty international.</p>

<p>does anyone have any thoughts on whether i have a chance because i don't understand the whole GPA thing! Also i hear i would have to take a GRE exam- has anyone done this? Is it hard? from the example papers i've looked at it seems ok.</p>

<p>any advice would be amazing...so please please please!!</p>
