What should I do to get into an Ivy League?

I really really want to get into Princeton and major in Business. Please give me any advice you have.

I’m a freshman at a private school with a GPA of 3.7. I sing, practice piano, and hopefully will start lyrical dancing soon. I was in student council and was student president in my middle school. My uncle is a CEO of his own company and 75% of my family has their own business and are landlords.

What can I do to become a CEO? Even though i’m a freshman, I’m really starting to worry about my future. Please help!

Start by figuring out what the entry requirements are at Princeton, and other good schools. The requirements change from year to year so look for patterns in the changes… like if they raise the min SAT score by 100 points each year, then you’ll know that you need to score 300 pts higher than the incoming freshmen this year.

Having a goal for your career is good. Some kids only have the goal of going to the most prestigious school, and have no idea what they want to do with that education. You’ll probably have to write an essay about why you want to go to Princeton… make a rough draft now and update it as you go through high school.

Good schools want well rounded students. Your activities are good. You’ve got leadership experience and music, but what about sports? Team sports are good for building teamwork skills, and they make you physically fit.

Don’t worry about your future, you’ll get there soon enough. Also don’t focus on titles and money – that won’t bring you happiness. Do what you enjoy, and never work a day in your life.

It is really hard to tell at this point because you are only a freshman. One bad grade can drop your GPA or a good one raise it. Also, it is difficult to tell becuase you have not taken your ACT, or SAT. The fact theat you sing and play piano is good because extra curricular activities are very good and nessecary.

To get into an Ivy League school I would suggest raising your already good grade. And studying for the ACT and SAT.
