What chance do I have in getting into the Ivy League?

I live in Ontario Canada. I would like to pursue a college education in the states and I was wondering if I have the qualifications to be accepted.

Here are my qualifications:

-Currently in Grade 12 (average mark in grade 11 is 92)

-Work part time as a Head Lifegaurd/ Deck Supervisor 15 hours a week ( $16 an hour)

-I have my own business in which i taught swimming courses over the summer( i made $30-60 an hour). Also I recieved a government grant of $3000 for owning the business.

-I have 100+ volunteer hours ( science tutor, math tutor, senior retirement home, teacher’s assistant, and music librarian).

– Student council representative, Yearbook club, DECA

executive officer(Business Debate Club), Track and Field, Cross Country Running, Ski Club, the Science Club( President), Junior and Senior Concert Band.

I want to know if I have a good chance in getting into Harvard, Stanford, Yale, or any other ivy leagues. I’d love you help especially if you went to an ivy league school!

You can probably get into Vanderbilt or Duke or Cornell. They look at you as an individual and on the type of community service you do. You will need a good score on the SAT, 2000+, atleast 3.9+GPA. You also need to write an aweosme essay, and need spectacular techer recommedations. Make sure to schedule an interview with the school you hope to get into. AND, apply early!!!!

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 don’t really give enough information.

In order to get into an Ivy League school, you need the following:

Unweighted GPA of 4.8+ with a weighted GPA over 4.0

Great admissions essay

Good extracurriculars

95% of those admitted are in the top 10% of their graduating classes. 75% of those admitted have an SAT score above 2100 out of 2400. Most have taken honors and AP classes.

With your average grade of 92, I suspect that you are not in the top ten percent of your class. You can get into a very good university — but I think the Ivy League is a stretch for you.
