Why Ivy leagues only? is it because of prestige? You better have better reasons to apply to colleges that are reaches for everyone in the world, even more of reaches for international kids.

How much can you pay per year? What is your prospective major? School grade(i.e. GPA)? No subject tests?

3

My GPA is 3.8 and I just do not want my IB score to go to waste and i think applying UK colleges also but if you know what should i do please let me know because I am really confused recently :confused:

4

Your IB score “going to waste” is never a good reason to apply to a selective college. I promise you that there are plenty more IB kids (many being international) that will gladly fill your place if you do not apply to the Ivies.

5

So I have a chance to get into Ivies?

6

You are not answering our questions.

How much can you pay per year? What is your prospective major? School grade(i.e. GPA)? No subject tests? What kind of environment do you prefer? Ivy leagues are not monolith groups of schools

7

My family can afford the price and I want to study architecture or psychology so actually my prefers are Yale and Upenn. GPA is 3.8

8

What would be your weighted GPA? For example, weighted Class would have extra one points for each grade of that class.

Also, look for safeties. Since you could afford prices, look for matches/safeties.

For architecture
Rice(reach)
CSU-Obispo(safety)
U-Sou Cal(match)
Washintong in St. Louis(low reach)
Syracuse University(match)

Psychology
UMinesota-Twin City
UIUC
UCLA
U of Colorado Boulder.e
etcetc…

9

What does low reach or match mean? These are about acceptance or something else?

10

And also I got Biology subject test

11

The scale goes:
(most likely to be accepted) Safety->Low Match->Match->High Match->Low Reach->Reach->High Reach->Not happening (least likely to be accepted)

And you need 2 subject tests for many schools.

12

Okay but what about Ivies? Is there no chance to get in? or what should i do

13

You are not listening to us. Ivy leagues are not guaranteed for anyone.Its like gambling, which is why you should make more lists.

14

I know these colleges are not guaranteed but I do not want to become hopeful about it. What else can I do with my ib score?

15

Your IB score is totally fine.
What you need to take is Sat subjects. Also, dont you have school grade?

16

I am junior right now. I’ll take biology and math coming months. That is it for now.

17

Well how about my ec’s should I do more things?

18

Why just ivy schools? You should know there are so many excellent schools in America. Here are the Smart university in America list by business insider. http://www.businessinsider.com/smartest-colleges-in-america-2014-10

19

What is your nationality?

20

Turkey, If my grades and EC’s enough for Ivy and other good schools of course I think about them too
