<p>Dwight, </p>
<p>I was wondering besides the obvious high GPA and SAT/ACT and extracurriculars help a student get it. Because I was researching and at Harvard and many other Ivies, theres always that tiny percentage of students who have GPA’s from like 3.0-3.5 that get in. And I believe it said 4% had GPA’s in that range. And SAT scores of 500-599 per section. And getting to the main point, I was wondering, how do those people get in? What do they do that helps them be as competitive as that 91% of students with GPA’s 3.75+. Like how big are GPA’s, AP/IB’s, extracurricular’s, and all of those other factors? Because I feel like my chances of getting into Harvard at like basically impossible but seeing that information gives me a glimmer of hope. What can I do to stand out and be as competitive as those brainiacs that are total athletes in every club? </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
