I want to go into international studies and political science

I need suggestions on what else to do to stand out and for ivies.

I suggest you post this to a Cornell, Princeton, and Duke forum not University of Wisconsin Madison.

If in fact you are applying to UW, you stand a strong chance of acceptance. UW’s Poli Sci is a top 15 department, so worth a look!

You need good essays and good LoR, especially since your an Asian (just being honest). You aren’t applying for a STEM field, so you have that sort of going for you, but still they are really hard to get into. Scores look fine though, extracurriculars leave something to be desired.

UWprincess, lol sorry I’m new to CC.

No problem I just wanted you to receive the proper feedback. Good luck your stats are impressive.

Nobody can chance for the Ivies @singvoicetea. They’re a crapshoot for everyone, even students with terrific credentials.
