I see that you are posting the same question on a lot of the Ivy forums. Why just Ivies? What do you like about each one? They are all really different. Just because they are in a single athletic conference does not mean they are interchangeable.

In any case, your grades are for sure your weak point, and there’s not much you can do to radically improve your GPA. And your ECs aren’t anything unusual. You should also keep in mind that a lot of elite colleges don’t count the writing score on the SAT, which was your strongest element (although your M/CR score is still very good). Unless you have a “hook” of some kind I think you should broaden your search. You need matches and safeties anyway.
