<p>I would like to be accepted to any Ivies if possible but the question is simply how good do you have to be? Sorry that I am not yet very used to what is it the most defining requirement for those schools. Yes I am an international student moving to the U.S in August (Fairfax county) and I have lived in New Zealand for 4 years.</p>

<p>I was thinking of maybe something like "All A’s and {numbers} or so of awards and club(diversity). </p>

<p>This means I have to have “perfect” at school grade, “perfect” at EC studies, EC activities for “perfect” leadership and diversity=“PERFECT human being”?? I just want to be assured that this is utterly not true or is it do you think?</p>

<p>No. You have to be much more than perfect. Super human at least. God at best.</p>

<p>God at best?</p>

<p>You have to be CHUCK NORRIS to even THINK about going to an IVY LEAGUE UNIVERSITY…I apologize to my fellow elite universities as I am a mudblood even to speak of their greatness…</p>

<p><em>BOW DOWN</em></p>

<p>I heard that if you were a Fields medalist when applying, your odds of acceptance went up to 5%.</p>

<p>Basically, if you don’t spend your summer performing organ transplants for children in Africa, you don’t stand a chance.</p>

6

<p>You have to be pretty damn good and hot stuff. At least, that’s how I got into princeton.</p>

<p>Yeah, I heard it was so hard that even Chuck Norris got waitlisted. But then Chuck Norris stared at an admissions officer…end of story.</p>

<p>Oh. You’re not supposed to look at admissions officers?</p>

<p>No, average people can look and even stare at admissions officers. But if your name is Chuck Norris, those rules don’t apply. As a matter of fact no rule applies. The last person that Chuck Norris stared at turned into stone.</p>

<p>Ask about him.</p>
