What is the profile of an "Ivy caliber" applicant?

<p>please forgive mefor being crass but this whole thread is nothing more than “mental masturbation” …</p>

<p>some people don’t understand that being hooked doesn’t help as much as it used to. College is getting more competitive then it was five tears ago. Being a legacy, Urm, etc, has a very minor effect now. All As, great ECs, great SATs over 2200 and a impeccable essay is what you need now. In others being near perfect.</p>

<p>naw you don’t need all A’s
and 2300+ SAT is better</p>
