<p>Hi I am a junior. My GPA is 3.95~8 (unweighted) and 4.31 (weighted)
What I am worried about are my EC's.
Is there low possibility for students with no national ranking EC's or awards to get into Ivies?
I am interested in majoring in either english or biology. </p>

<p>I think your ECs really tell you are very active in your high school; however, you need something more special than that. Second, you don’t need a national ranking EC to get in an ivy. I don’t have such ECs but I got in an Ivy. Good luck!</p>

<p>Something not really available at school. Examples from my list include a foreign language self-study (multiple in my case), Wikipedia edits (there is SO much to do on there, you WILL find a niche and work it), and running a sports blog. Your music creds are a fine start.</p>
