<p>I have worked really hard in my life to overcome a lot of hardship in the form of family problems and need some advice on how to get into an ivy league school. I know I would do well, but I need help on exactly WHAT I need do. My passions are reading, choir, and politics (i'm currently writing an essay for the jfk profiles in courage essay comp.). PLEASE HELP!!!</p>

<p>Wow, your old school must be harsh. An A in my school is the 90-100 range.</p>

<p>If your passion includes choir, join the school choir. :smiley: For politics, try to see if you can get somehow involved in a political campaign for an election (mayor … president lol?)</p>
