<p>What did you do as your senior project in High School? And what ivy league are you going/are going to?</p>
<p>Not all schools have a “senior project.” In fact most don’t.</p>
<p>Also, most colleges make their decisions around March, so it probably has no effect unless it’s a project that is finished by February.</p>
<p>…and you’re assuming that everybody who gets accepted into at least one Ivy ends up going to one of those schools. I got into an Ivy but opted for another university, and there’s at least quite a few other students that do the same every year. Also, ditto, at least in my area no schools require senior projects from their students.</p>
<p>And you should just listen to what people accepted to Ivies did and copy that. Do a project that interest you and that you thought of yourself. Copying others to improve your “Ivy chances” is just silly.</p>
<p>What is a “senior project”?</p>
<p>Seriously, I’ve never even heard of a senior project.</p>
<p>But anyway, as others have said, don’t try to be like anyone else. Just do you. That’s more important.</p>
<p>Not every school has a mandatory “senior project.”</p>
<p>I did a research project in junior year regarding odd perfect numbers and establishing bounds for them, and that was the closest to “senior project” I’ve done.</p>
<p>OP: If this query is an example of your research and critical thinking skills, you’re facing a huge uphill journey to be admitted to very selective colleges.</p>
