<p>So do I have any chance? I don't think I do, is there anything I can do to make my app look stellar. Please be harsh!:) I can change it since I am going to be a junior next year.</p>

<p>Come on, Am I really that bad?</p>

3

<p>What college are you currently at? What college are you interested into transferring into? What major? Do you seek financial aid?</p>

4

<p>I am a sophomore in high school, I want to get into any IVY league, Major is probably science or math, I don't need financial aid.</p>

<p>I am not an expert but I would think that you have a good shot at the 'lower tier' ivies such as penn and cornell, given there are no flaws in your applications. HYP may be reaches, but hey, they are reaches for everyone.</p>

<p>A lot will depend on your SAT scores, additional SAT II scores, and maybe AP scores. Are you studying for the SAT? Your extracurriculars are mediocre. You need good scores. You should also read one or two books on how to package yourself for Ivy league schools- I recommend the ones by Katherine Cohen. Look into applying to an Ivy as an early decision candidate- it will increase your chances by a lot. If you get good scores and keep up the grades, you should have a good shot at some of the Ivies and at a number of the "new Ivies" and "Ivy-likes".</p>

<p>"will I get into college( and which ones)"</p>

<p>That's such a stupid title.</p>

<p>You have an A average. Of course you'll get into college.</p>

8

<p>not to mention that you dont have sat scores or grades for your junior year, or potential awards, as well as changing ECs</p>

9

<p>so, I need more ec's and good SATI's scores. BTW what's an early decision candidate? Also, what score do I need to get on the SAT because I took some practice ones online and I got 2300+. </p>

<p>Should take more SATII's?</p>

10

<p>I have whole year to change my app, so give me any other advice that you can.</p>

11

<p>2300 and up on the SAT is considered very elite. Just make sure that you have decent ECs and show alot of interest and passion for what you do. There are alot of high (if not perfect) scorers applying to the ivies every year. Make sure you differentiate yourself from those 'academic nerds' or 'study freaks'.</p>

12

<p>what EC's do I need?!</p>

13

<p>I dont know you as a person, so I dont know what you are interested in. However, I would suggest your ECs to be at least one of either Varsity or JV sports team (to show that you are not only all about academics), and try to be presidents or captains for clubs at your school.</p>

<p>I can see above that you like to dance and sing, so I will suggest that you perform at big public events, or compete in competitions, to show them that you are serious about what you do!</p>

14

<p>if you can improve your ECs</p>

<p>majorly</p>

<p>it seems like you could get into some good schools</p>
