<p>Fortune COokies:
1. You will get into an Ivy League University
2. In order to get in, ASK ONLINE for Requirements for the Universities
3. Get a MOVE ON AND Stop EATING ME! </p>
<p>Hey guys, I'm going to Gr. 10 in September 2005. My parents and the fortune cookie are ALERTING me to GET A MOVE ON! </p>
<p>I'm not being pressured or anything, but I just need some in sight from experienced people.</p>
<p>I have no idea what University I want to go in but Harvard is something that I might consider... If I'm good enough. All my older friends are at Harvard and I just want to show them that I'm not such a dumb person. Just a bit LAZY.</p>
<p>I really need the requirements for the Ivy Leagues and if you know any link or any advice to give to me, my ears are yours. </p>
<p>Just a bit off topic but if I want to become a Business Lawyer someday in the future, but what do I need to learn specifically? I define Business Lawyer as someone who helps companies that want to go public (the stockmarket). If anyone is in this kind of field of experties or know of someone in this field, please respond to my post along with the requirements for Ivy Leagues. </p>
<p>If you are "LAZY" I wouldn't focus exclusively on Ivy leagues :) Requirements on the application are the same for general college admissions: SATs, high school transcript, essay, recommendations. Requirements for getting in are tricky; each admissions committee looks for something different.</p>
<p>The three components are extra curriculars, stats, and essays. The first should be extensive, but focused. You don't want to be in every club and sport for a week each, but choose your best activities and stick with them for a few years. Volunteer work, sports, intellectual and artistic activities are good. For stats, you want to keep as high an unweighted GPA as possible. Take honors/AP/IB courses and their end of year exams. Ivies average about 2250 on the new SAT, and 750+ on each subject. You want to be taking the heaviest courseload available at your school. Finally, that essay has to rock. It must be cut and polished, and catch the ad. officer's eye.</p>
<p>School requirements: 4 years each of English, a language, sciences, maths, and social studies. Do the horizon-broadening outside of class. Now, I haven't been admitted to an Ivy, but I'm going to try, and this is my own format.</p>
<p>That said, make sure you're looking at places other than Ivy leagues. Those are reaches for everyone, and there will probably be only one or two that suit your personality and goals. LACs are painfully neglected in this country.</p>
<p>There are no requirements, at least none beyond "a college preperatory curriculum" which everyone on CC has. The Ivies are so selective and receive so many applications that they transcend basic requirements - no particular set of courses and scores will guarantee admission, but for the sufficently impressive no particular deficiency need be a dealbreaker. Numberwise a 2050SAT and 3.8ishUW GPA are reasonable minimums to keep in mind (they'd put you around the 20-40th percentile at most Ivies), but it's not uncommon to get in with less. </p>
<p>To be a "Business Lawyer" you need a J.D. and possibly an M.B.A. It's not really something you prepare for at the undergraduate level, unless you go to an UG b-school like Penn-Wharton. But seriously, do you really want to use whatever natural talent you may have to become just another genius automaton working 80 hours a week and pulling in $400k a year? Why not consider something more soul-satisfying?</p>
<p>Just go to a college's website and download their application. Then request their viewbook by getting on their mailing list and look through that. Go to collegeboard.com, look through all the stats of a couple colleges. Then you'll be all set.</p>

Did you mean corporate law? You want to work at an IPO? How can Wharton and Yale be matches? How can Amherst be a safety (not to mention even being a match)? You don't know the requirements for an university? You don't make any sense kid</p>
<p>Your middle is Wharton/Yale and your SAFETY is Amherst!?!?! Umm, you might want to do a little more research. Aside from a few percentage points, these universities, college in the case of Amherst, are comparable in selectivity. I did laugh when I saw this though.</p>
<p>Thnx for the heads-up. But no one has given me a link or anything regarding my original post! PLZ if u have a link to a site with info on requirements and what the university is famous for, PLZ PLZ with cerry on top! POST IT!</p>
<p>It shows the stats of kids who were rejected and accepted at Yale. Yale is not a middle level school. Neither is Wharton or Amherst. All of those schools are reaches for EVERYONE, regardless of your stats because admissions into one of them is very, VERY selective and almost lottery driven.</p>
