Do I have to be an absolute superstar to get into any of the Ivy League?

@lookingforward, that’s right. My best friend in HS scored a perfect 1600 SAT first sitting, had a 4.0 GPA, got into Harvard. Failed out his 1st year. He later went to Bennington College, did well. Went into publishing, very successful career. It’s not the school’s name that matters, it’s the educational environment and the student that matters.
