Ivy League school - what are my chances?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>I'm a sophmore in a mississippi public school. Since the 8th grade i've had the highest average in every class i've taken(should be valedictorian), and i take the most advanced classes available. Im a member of the cross-country team, academic team, senoir beta club, and i have served twice on the student government. I plan on volunteering alot at a local hospital, and this summer i'll be going to johns hopkins university for a student leader medical summit. Do i have a chance of getting into an ivy league school (pref. Harvard, Princeton, Cornell, or Yale) or Johns Hopkins? And what, asides from scoring highly on SAT/ACT, can i do to improve my chances? And do you think that being from mississippi damages my chances?</p>

<p>If any current ivy league students could answer, it would be great.</p>

<p>Thanks everyone for reading</p>

<p>you are on track. post some specific stats</p>

<p>you’re still a sophomore, we can’t really tell you anything yet without your SAT/ACT. have you taken any APs?</p>

<p>No, my school doesn’t offer any APs. Next year I’m going to take a college credit class though, and next summer I’m probably going to attend a summer college session at either Harvard or Yale. Will that help? And do you think my chances go down because my school doesn’t offer any AP classes?</p>
