<p>Which Ivy could I get into? Which one would I most likely fit into? I seem to like Dartmouth, Brown, and Yale (which is reaching...). I'm obsessed with the Ivies!!!!! <em>Rawr</em></p>

<p>All the ivys are going to be reaches because of your rank, unless you have a hook. Yale is the least lenient on Rank: 99% of their freshmen that had reported ranks were in the top 10%</p>
<p>actually, i must say that you have a very good chance at all of them. One because you are smart and have a good range of activites. and two because you are Hispanic. colleges will automatically look at the fact that you are hispanic as a good thing because their numbers of hispanic students are low. being a rare and intelligent applicant will certainly make you stand out. Also, you should look at scholarships too. There are plenty of scholarships for minorites out there, whether your black, hispanic, native american, etc. Theres something scholarship-wise out there, and their really easy to find and complete.</p>
<p>I would apply ED to Brown or Dartmouth, whichever you prefer. As to that choice, its a tough one. Personally I choose between them and its tough!!</p>
<p>I agree with beginning, definitely spruce up your EC's..or if you don't have enough time, add more detail to them to show that you did put time and effort into them..
I would say apply ED to Brown, it has a great undergraduate research program...you seem to be interested in the fields of medicine/biology (your sn and your magnet school) so definitely stress that.
Being an URM with those scores and stats won't hurt either ^-^</p>
<p>Why would it not be wise to attend an Ivy? Unless you don't want to go to a big school, would rather foster other talents at a laid-back environment, etc. However, if you're considering medical school, maybe it's good to get used to pressure.</p>
<p>You've got a solid chance at all of your preferences, especially with your background and SATIIs. I would apply ED to your first choice, of course, but here's how I play the game: some schools are ED, some are EA, and some are SCEA. Yale and Harvard are SCEA, which means you can still apply to other universities RD if you change your mind (if you don't have the $, if you decide you hate Boston weather...), so I would apply early to one of those because I'd like to know my standing and I still have an element of flexibility. Somewhere else, if you get in, you're stuck--not that being "stuck" at Dartmouth would be a bad thing.</p>
<p>Hey, we've already done this. You have a solid chance at all of them. You need to make sure you have some good match and safety schools (where you can be happy) in case they don't come through, because it can happen to anybody.</p>
<p>That will help in admissions, because he adds culture to the student body as a Hispanic, but that makes me think twice about wanting to go there. Are they really intolerant?</p>
<p>You have a good chance at Brown and Dartmouth (75% probability of getting in to at least one), but if that is your complete list of EC's, you probably don't have much of a chance at Yale (between 5 and 10%).</p>
<p>WASPy Ivy??? I cant believe how many stereotypes are out there that are so outdated. Yeah, in 1990 it was, the school has totally changed since then. Dartmouth is more diverse than Brown, Cornell, Princeton, Duke, Northwestern, Emory, etc and isnt far behind Yale and Penn by the numbers.</p>
<p>I am a minority and I found nothing but welcoming people at Dartmouth. The opposite of intolerant in fact. Its isnt Columbia where jocks are despised, but it isnt close to Vanderbilt either. I don't know how these stereotypes persist, I have TONS of minority friends at Dartmouth. In fact I found Dartmouth to be much less WASPy than Princeton, where this east coast elitist concept pervades. At Dartmouth it isn't cool to flaunt wealth and pedigree, its cool to be a person who likes to have fun.</p>
<p>The one knock on Dartmouth is that a segment of the social scene seems to be dominated a couple WASPy frats, but there are countless social opportunities outside of this scene.</p>
<p>Ooh, I might think of Dartmouth myself. I'm Asian, but it's getting to a point where that's not a "minority" anymore. It's close to the majority at some places :)</p>
