<p>You know what, if you have <2100 SAT/not the highest ranking but are interested in a particular Ivy League/super selective school I’d say go for it. One extra app isn’t a whole lot of extra work and they have to admit SOME people with sub 2100’s so you may get lucky. Who knows. Just don’t apply to a whole bunch if your stats aren’t up there.</p>
<p>And blah, blah, blah, GPA, class rank, SAT score, extracurriculars, essay, blah, blah, blah. I’ve given up on understanding how Ivy League admissions work and what you “have to do” to get in. No one knows. You need a high GPA and standardized test score. Beyond that…eh. I’m interested in Princeton. I’m applying. I’m interested in my less selective state schools. I’m applying there as well.</p>
