<p>Anyone have tips to get into Ivy leagues? which extracurriculars, what kind of grades, what sports, etc.</p>
<p>There is no set formula. Take hard classes and get good grades in those classes (you should aim for a 3.8+ uw). But for ECs just do what you love, though try and eventually have some community service and leadership.</p>
<p>Each school would want to have students with different talents and passions to create an all rounded classes. They don’t want all students to have the same EC.</p>

<p>Asking what kind of extracurricular activities are best for elite college admissions is entirely the wrong question to ask.</p>
