<p>I am entering grade 12, and wanted to know what are my chances at Ivy league universities(Harvard, Princeton, Yale ,UCLA, UCB, Illinois).</p>
<p>I am doing the IB diploma with Math HL, Physics HL, chelistry HL, English Lang & lit SL, ESS SL and German SL.</p>
<p>I receive grades between 6 & 7 in all of the subjects except English & german where I receive grades between 5 and 6.</p>
<p>Actively volunteering for wildlife & environment conservation for the past 3 years, received many awards including one from UNEP for my unique initiatives.</p>
<p>Earth club founder and leader in my school.</p>
<p>Volunteering for teaching orphaned children in homes for 5 hours per month.</p>
<p>Peer Tutor at my school.</p>
<p>MUN delegate.</p>
<p>Planning to attend a science summer program ( SSP or SAMS)</p>
<p>I scored 1950 on my practice SAT’s and am joining a course to improve it.</p>
<p>Do I have a shot at the Ivy league??</p>
<p>Please do recommend me some summer science programs. ( 51,71,55 in CR,M,W in PSAT)</p>
<p>First of all, the Ivy League refers specifically to an athletic conference of eight private universities in New England. UCLA, UCB and Illinois are all fine public universities, and better than Ivy League schools in some respects but they are not part of the athletic conference. One huge drawback (unless you are full-pay) to these three specfic schools however is that they reserve the majority of their financial aid for in-state students.</p>
<p>I assume that when you state that you are entering 12th grade, you mean next fall. If you are currently a senior, you are in trouble. You only have three days to complete applications.</p>
<p>Realisitically, a 1950 will not have a reasonable chance at Harvard, Yale or Princeton. In fact, if you live out of state, this score will not have a reasonable chance at UCLA, UCB or Illinois. You need to raise your score dramatically (somewhere around 2200-2300) to have a chance at admission based on the other factors you have listed.</p>
<p>Admissions is an unpredictable business and I certainly could be wrong. However, I would encourage you to look for other schools.</p>
