<p>How badly will a 31-32 ACT be looked up on when applying to ivy league colleges + Stanford if someone has an incredible transcript? This is for a friend. In a holistic view, no ivy league applicants ever in classes of 220 consistently from our school. Not many in 30 ACT+ range. No AP classes are offered at our school. </p>

<p>4.000 UW GPA through junior year. Self studied 3 APs. Bio (5), Psych (5), World History (5)</p>

<p>I think that ACT score wouldn’t in any way make it impossible to get in, I feel like Ivies care more about GPA and extracurriculars and awards. You have as good a chance as anyone, but that being said, literally everyone has a very low chance of getting in, as their acceptance rates are ridiculously low. I wouldn’t let your scores discourage you from applying though!</p>
