As stated by @gibby and @T26E4, unless you’ve omitted mentioning astonishing athletic ability or boldface celebrity status, you probably don’t have a path to the Ivy League.

Additionally, saying you want to attend “any Ivy League school” means that your goal is misdirected to the status and prestige of the Ivy League; the 8 member schools are very different, and I have difficulty imagining the person who would be equally happy in every one of them. That’s not a sin, but it means you haven’t thought deeply about what you’re looking for in a college that is a reach (a reasonable reach!), a match, and a safety. Your GC should be able to help.

Good luck on your standardized tests, recommendations, and essays.
