I’m tempted to use the old phrase “If you have to ask, you probably can’t afford it.” Every student admitted to an “Ivy” will stand out in at least some way. If there is nothing exceptional about you in terms of athletic prowess, leadership, extracurricular achievements, community contributions, artistic talent, or family legacy, you will have to count on being way out in front of the pack academically. Everyone admitted is an excellent student, and all will have at least good scores that prove they can handle the work. These schools have the privilege of selecting exactly the student bodies they want, and the resources to devote to the selection process. They might determine that a particular student with a 2100 has more to offer their community than another one with a 2400, but if you don’t have any special attributes that would compensate for test scores or a GPA near the bottom of their range, then a 2100 probably isn’t “good enough.”
