i had a 3.6 GPA in 9th grade and a 3.0 in 10th grade and in 11th grade, is there any chance of me getting into an ivy league school? Im in a club everyday after school, and i play sports in the winter and spring, and im part of the honor society and i volunteer at a hospital?

Your GPA is lower than average for an Ivy League student, and it’s hard to determine how much of a chance that you have without SAT/ACT information, but the Ivy League schools weigh things out differently. If you can get good recommendations from your teachers, write excellent essays, and your standardized test scores are decent in comparison to their averages, I say go ahead and give it a shot if it means a lot to you.

Top 20 school: excellent Ivy: a chance. Your grades are good, the AP scores shows weighting to math/science, which also is good. If I wanted to be critical of your application it would be in the area of extracurriculars. You aimed to be well rounded – the Ivy League & Stanford/Duke/MIT/CIT do not necessarly look for well rounded: they look for stars. What do Debbie Thomas (olympic skater), Tiger Woods and John McEnroe have in common? They all went to Stanford. I’m going out on a limb here, but I’ll bet none of them had M800. M800’s can be, and are, routinely rejected by highly selective schools. Give it a go and good luck. But apply to some quality, large State schools as well: e.g., Wisconsin/Michigan/Berkley/and the flagship state school where you live. Again, good luck.

You have a pretty low GPA, so unless you’re from the best high schools in the country (Phillips-Exeter, Harvard-Wellesey, Stuyvesant) you do not have a chance of getting into any Ivy leagues, to be honest.

to show your commitment volunteer a lot!! it may make up for your grades. you do have good grades so why is there such a need to go to an ivy league college? remember just because a college doesn’t have the reputation of Harvard doesn’t mean it’s not a good school.

good luck!

Very unlikely. If you’re good enough to be a recruited athlete, and your SAT scores are very good, and you’re from a top high school, then maybe.

SAT scores have a lot to do with it. and colleges look for diversity also.
