<p>You have to be ridiculously genius, have a special talent, invent something, or come from a unique financial situation to make it in to one of the ivy leagues. I’m sure you are really intelligent but you shouldn’t make getting in to one of those schools your ultimate goal. Honestly, you can get great jobs and work for awesome companies just from going to a state school. It will save you money and stress if you just keep doing your best and enjoying high school rather than worrying over one grade. Good luck!</p>
