3

4

<p>I am a Junior</p>

5

<p>yeah Ivies are tough but if you can get everything up to 700 (ie math) i think you have a shot. but i would look more closely in other top 25 schools (where you'd def get in to some)...it all depends on your major</p>

6

<p>Are there any Ivies that give scholarships?</p>

7

<p>need based financial aid only, no merit scholarships in the ivys.</p>

8

<p>Is applying EA better than RD at the ivys?</p>

9

<p>some would say that statistically yes, you have a better shot. then again, you always risk the chance of being outright rejected if you dont measure up against the stronger pool. its a risk, but some are willing to take it.</p>

10

<p>Which ivy in anyone's opinion would be the best fit with the numbers that I have?</p>

11

<p>it all depends on what your interests are. the closer a fit you are for a school, the better the chances because it gives the impression that you researched and are making an informed decision.</p>

12

<p>Has anyone applied to any of the ivys and gotten in already?</p>

13

<p>Yes (Brown).</p>

14

<p>Great job!</p>

15

<p>Thank you lol</p>

16

<p>it`s a possibility that you might make it, but then again, there will always be the stronger applicants that might weigh you out. if you do more ECs and take difficult courses, that might make your profile look better.</p>

<li>You need to boost up the SAT score. Study a ton. I swear it works, it worked for me. Its all about "getting it", and this comes with practice, vocab, re-learning grammer (for writing), etc. Get into the 1350s at a minimum.</li>
</ol>

<p>After you do this apply ED, the EA schools dont give enough of a boost. Cornell is the easiest by far ED, but you might look to Brown, Columbia, and Dartmouth. Choose whichever one you like the most of these and apply ED.</p>
