Requirements for the IVY's?

<p>What is the average SSAT, SAT, ACT, GPA, etc for the IVY's? What extra curriculars or summer programs look good or would help me to get into them?</p>

<p>Ask your guidance counselor .</p>

<p>lol id rather have somebody reply whose already applied or gotten in so i can know how they got in. not some bs from a guidance couselor</p>

<p>Average SAT about 2200, a bit higher at HYP. ECs should be unusual, the fewer that do yours the better. The higher the level you do something at the better (Nationl, intnl awards or honors level). Good summer programs are the free, highly competitive ones like RSI and TASP. Be top 2 in your class and take your schools hardest classes.</p>

<p>2400 SAT, 4.3 UW GPA (6.0/6.0 Weighted), 36 ACT</p>

<p>Good summer programs would include: ranching at Deep Springs, interning as a summary analyst at JPMorgan, participating in Science and Math Olympiads, writing for the Washington Post, taking photographs for National Geographic, participating in the London Summer Olympics, assistant director for a block-buster film.</p>

<p>Also do some drug dealing so that you have an interesting essay topic.</p>

<p>hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha thanks</p>

<p>There’s this magical new invention called google that can tell you the average scores of the people accepted and what their grades are like.</p>

<p>Honestly, the Ivies are looking for interesting students, not just ones who are impressive on paper. You must be within the academic range (over 2100 SAT would be good, higher is better). You must also show that you’re passionate about something - ECs are good, but they should be ones you actually enjoy. Summer programs aren’t really that useful unless you’re doing research or something - programs such as Summer@Brown aren’t that impressive because most people are admitted and all it really shows is that you can pay.</p>

<p>Agree with Waverly above. The schools are crafting a freshmen class and having some exceptional talents really provides greater interest than being just well rounded. The competitive free summer programs like TASP or Bronfman are better to attend than the paid Ivy league programs which are much less selective. An “A” in one of those summer courses certainly does not connote a likelihood of admission.</p>

<p>You asked for averages. Your guidance counselor will more likely have access to averages for SATs, ACTs, and GPA. Students who applied and got accepted will have solid knowledge only of their own scores and maybe one or two of their friends who also got in, not what the average was for the whole entering class.</p>
