<p>How much does a bad rank take you down at the Ivies? Right now, I'm probably around the top 20% (out or 180 kids at a medical magnet school), and have like a weighted GPA of like a 95 something to 4 decimal places (with the hardest courseload, of course). I'm involved in a lot of state competitions and am Hispanic (if that helps). I took the SAT today, and I think I did decent (~190). </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Lol........"your kind"</p>
<p>I'm a urm with a 20% ranking. I'm a Penn rejectee/jhu waitlistee. You never know truthfully. You could apply to every ivy and get 8 acceptances or 8 rejections. who's to say.</p>
<p>Top 20% with a 1900 SAT won't get it done at the Ivies, even with URM status. Sorry.</p>
<p>What about 2000?</p>
<p>SAT IIs=2100</p>
<p>Ranking sucks....</p>
<p>Don't add up your SAT II's. Consider them individually like colleges do. General perception is that 2250+ SAT I is great for the Ivies (or at least ideal).</p>
<p>Well I don't know about the SAT IIs, but it's a good predictor. Probably: Math IIC=750+, US History=700+, Literature=650+</p>
<p>Would this 20% rank get me into Stan?</p>
<p>your SAT reasoning HAVE TO BE above 2200+ in order to pass the ivies' academic standards, in fact 2200 is simply the "average" SAT scores at the ivies. Many seniors who applied to HYP got rejected with superb (2300+) SAT scores and great ecs.</p>
<p>Darn......</p>
<p>As an URM, if your SAT is high enough, you might have a shot.</p>
<p>what is "high enough"</p>
<p>What do you actually want to do, buddy? Maybe one or two of the Ivys are right for you. Fine. But don't just go looking for a name. I bet that you could get a better education in your desired field at more schools than you can count.</p>
<p>are you still a junior? I'd kill to still be a junior. Go take the SATs again! GO!</p>
