Official IVIES thread

<p>i'm just wondering how do yo uget teachers to fill out the like 4-5 ivey teacher recommendation forms? i don't want to be a big burden on them and get a bad recommendation.</p>

<p>If you use the Common Application, they only have to fill out a couple of forms.</p>

<p>i heard a statistic that 91 percent of students get into their first or second choice schools. I also heard that 75 percent of people who want to go to an ivy or other similarly pretigious school end up going. Have you heard of these or are they at all true, cause they are encouraging</p>

<p>encouraging but nonsensical (the second one i mean)</p>

<p>princeton! (ED), brown, maybe yale, maybe columbia...? i don't know</p>

<p>applying to penn-wharton and columbia</p>

<p>hmm but is it just me or does MIT, Princeton and Penn are all not on common?</p>

<p>even the common ones I still need to get them a recommendation form seperately so i dont' really do much with just one unless they take copies?</p>

<p>Princeton is on common</p>

<p>they take copies</p>

<p>I didn't say they were all on the Common App. I said that if you use the Common App it decreases the number of forms. All of my teachers just filled out one recommendation from the Common App, which was copied by my counselor and sent to all my Common App schools. It cut down on a lot of the paperwork.</p>

<p>hmm okay now i just need ot know what cc means (first time it wasn't used for credit card) and fill out penn and mit seperately?</p>

<p>do they know which universities I'm applying towards? In canada we have to rank when submitting preliminary applications to universities online</p>

<p>oh i know you didn't mean that but I was wondering how that would help since they need to write them out still. but now that I know they take photocopies that'll solve the problem.. umm my counselling office is kinda new to this i'm sure i'm like part of the first 10 applying to iveies so i'll have to tell them that</p>

<p>hey, i was wondering waht is the average percentage average for ivy acceptance, becuse i see them all in GPA, and as an international student...our school only has percentages</p>

<p>Here is the current roster from this post: (Excuse the space, I tried to make it into a spreadsheet version. It may also come out badly, as I can only see a preview version)</p>

<p>Total: Harvard: 8 total (2 early) Yale: 12 (4) Princeton: 11 (3) Dartmouth: 8 Brown: 9 (1) Columbia: 8 Penn: 11 (2) Cornell: 6 (1) Stanford: 1 UVA: 1 </p>

<p>I'm sorry if it seems like I abused the post by taking up too much space. If so, tell me and I won't do it again to update.</p>

<p>Wow! I was actually thinking of doin a roster...here's mine:
LAgal...Harvard EA, Princeton, Columbia, Brown, UPenn, Yale, Dartmouth
Nickleby, where's your school list?</p>

<p>Yale (ea),</p>

<p>Definitly Dartmouth, Princeton, and probably Brown.</p>

<p>Maybe Harvard.</p>

<p>Not Cornell, Penn, or Columbia (although I am afraid that I don't have enough knowledge to be erasing those schools, I have to start somewhere).</p>

<p>yeah, i feel the same way about erasing any schools...i just know that cornell's too big for me (and i don't know about northern ny)</p>

<p>Cornell and Penn seem to large for me, and coming from a relatively rural state in the west (although a 2,000 student high school), I feel like I need more of a campus setting and less of a huge city than Columbia offers, although I love New York. I want to make the transition in a more controlled environment than the busiest city in the world.</p>

<p>Just columbia and maybe brown.</p>

<p>just to let you know, there is an actual Ivy section. Come check it out.</p>

<p>umm, nevermind. As it turns out, I was slightly high when I typed the above post. At least I got something out of it.</p>
