How to get into an Ivy League?
Answered

Hello! My dream is to go to any ivy league school. I’ve used admissions calculators, and UPenn comes at about 55%chance for me. But Harvard only3%. What can I do to increase chances to speak to colleges like Harvard or Yale?? Btw I would be a Political Science major, Pre Law.

What did you put in the admissions calculator to get a 55% for UPenn; that is a school I'm considering. I will definitely get back to you on Harvard and Yale.

I put my extra circular activities and GPA. My GPA is 3.9. My activities are Varsity Softball. Varsity competition cheer with state title. And STUCO with a title. Hope this helps!

It definitely did thank you. I played around with the calculator and since law or political science are your intended major highly selective colleges love to see deep focus in that. That is to say that getting a law internship, doing debate club, student government , model Un, or any other law related extracurriculars will definitely help your chances alot especially with a high GPA. When grade are you in? Hope this is helpful and good luck!

To get into an ivy league school you need to look at your grade point average and your look at your classes that you are taking. Also you need to have good test scores on your ap exams and SAT. And any other test you want to take. hope this helps. if u have any other questions feel free to ask.
