Ok, he’s not an automatic reject. He’s got good enough stats to be somewhat competitive. Ivies can be very unpredictable. Heck, people in Oklahoma are trying to figure out why Harvard picked this boy over a member of the US IPhO team. You definitely have a chance. If you write great essays that reveal your awesome personality or your great passion for your activities, then you have a shot.

National Scholar and your college classes won’t mean much to the Ivies if you really show your passion for your magazine or debate. AP scholar depends on school, and I can’t think of any people with 5 As in college courses, but I can think of a couple who got As in a Java class at Tulsa U in 8th grade.
