if you're aspiring to become a student at an ivy league school, it's not all about grades like most people believe. you must be a well-rounded person, meaning good grades, high academic position (high class rank), leadership roles (class president), athleticism (captain of basketball team), strong personality (expressed in essay), become involved (member of many school clubs), and an extensive list of extra-curricular activities such as community service and such.
i've known several people that had straight 4.0 GPA all of HS, or even higher because of weighted AP that were confident of their chances for acceptance into an ivy league and still were not accepted. i'm not being pessimistic, but with the overall number of people that apply to those schools, chances are highly unlikely (even if you deserve it) that one would get an acceptance letter. remember to always have an additional 4+ colleges that you can fall back on. and ivy leagues do not matter much in terms of graduate school, since most job employers could care less where you received your MA, as long as you have one. |
