Chance at Ivies?

Weslyan is a superb school, don’t get me wrong, but the competition within Ivy League colleges are on another level completely. You can’t make a valid argument for your high school comparing the acceptance of one student, who might have had special circumstance (legacy, extensive family donations, etc), considering that Weslyan had an acceptance rate of 22% this year.

With that being said, your GPA and SAT I and SAT II are way too low. Retakes are strongly recommended. Your ECs are quite impressive, with a strong focus in economics, but lacking in awards.

I believe that the Ivies would be a mid to high reach for you.
