I’m a junior at my local high school and I was wondering what my chances were for getting into an ivy league school. I’m personally a bad test taker and don’t have good grades compared to the standard Ivy League Students and currently have a 3.09 uw GPA.

But, I’ve been great with my extra curricular activities such as competing at the national level for SkillsUSA, attending Intel ISEF, competing at HOSA, singing for an acapella group at my school, attending a week long program in Japan representing my school along with select students and much more. I’m also in the cross country/track team and ive been varsity since cross country season this school year.

But looking at my GPA, I’m worried that the Ivy League schools might not consider me. My SAT scores are below and what are my chances for that I can get in to an Ivy league school (preferably yale =P).

SAT math II 800
SAT Chem 780
SAT Bio 740
SAT Japanese 790
SAT I 790 math 530 Writing 520 Reading 8 Essay

And what do you think I should do to improve my chances. I plan on taking physics in may and retaking the SAT to improve my writing and essay score in june along with taking several APs after the ones I take this year which are AP BC calc and AP music theory.

Thanks in advance :)
