<p>“An ideal four-year preparatory program includes four years of English, with extensive practice in writing; four years of math; four years of science: biology, chemistry, physics, and an advanced course in one of these subjects; three years of history, including American and European history; and four years of one foreign language.”
This is off the Harvard website. Since I came from India during my sophomore year I can’t have 4 years of spanish or an advanced science either. Now my question is- Can one get into any of the Ivy leagues without the picture perfect course selection they wish you to have? Has anyone in a situation like mine been accepted?</p>
<p>of course
they’ll see that you were in India and know that you didnt necessarily have the same options and whatnot</p>
<p>you’re fine</p>
<p>I don’t see why you won’t be able to get in if you state why on your college admissions letter.</p>
<p>There are many people with those requirements who don’t get into ivy leagues anyway…</p>
