Hello everyone!
I am a junior in GA and this is my weighted transcript. I was wondering if my transcript and my schedule for next year contains enough rigor for Ivy League. Also, I was wondering if I was taking enough courses related to Journalism/Mass Communications bc that is my intended major? If you see a lot of Sociology courses in my 12th grade year it is because I am planning to minor or double major in Sociology:
Please note that courses that are not listed as Honors, AP, or Dual Enrollment are not weighted and report the original score. Also, to get unweighted scores for DE and AP subtract 10% and for Honors subtract 3%
Currently my unweighted GPA is 3.75 or 96% and my weighted GPA is 4.23

Test Scores:
PSAT: 1110
ACT: 24 Composite; 20 Math, 23 Science, 25 English, 29 Reading
SAT: 1070 Composite; 550 Reading/Writing, 520 Math
Your course load at extracurriculars sound good, but your test scores are a little low. 1070 on the SAT for an Ivy League school is basically unheard of-- even a 1370 would be considered pretty low for those schools. While it may not be attainable for you to get your score up 500 points, I would suggest taking the SAT and ACT again and aiming for scores in the 1400-1500s for SAT and ~33+ for the ACT. Otherwise your profile is very strong.
These are the average SAT/ACT scores for the Ivy Leagues as of last year:
