| There is no minimum GPA or SAT score necessary to get accepted to any Ivy League school. However, in general, people who get accepted to an Ivy League school take the hardest possible courseload at their schools, or pretty damn close to it. If your school offers AP or IB courses, take all the ones that interest you. I would say that for the "lower" Ivy League schools, for people without a major "hook", to be competitive requires a mid-A average while taking difficult courses, an SAT score above 2100 (preferably above 2200), and significant involvement in extracurricular activities. Obviously this varies by case and is subjective. |
