This. Ivies don’t give a crap about “Girl Scouts” or “soccer.”

Congrats. She has a strong commitment to numerous things across time, leadership, service, and a great academic profile. ECs that stretch beyond just the last 2-3 years are great. Awesome to see the commitment and hard work yield a positive result!

No other hooks? Not URM or first gen? Wow, this should give a lot of people hope that they too can get into Harvard.

That’s why it is a lottery, most of similar high stats kids, but most won’t get in
BC Calculus and AP physics in 11th is indeed common

What a strange combination to apply to

My kid also applied to both. Those were the only Ivy Applications. Currently at Brown.

Probably not from DMV. And maybe she wrote good essays.

Brown and Dartmouth are compatible to apply to. They are the ivies most focused on undergrads. Though I’d also add Princeton. My kid is interested in Brown and Princeton. But none of the others. And not Dartmouth, even though I’m an alum because it is too isolated for them.

If that’s what people on here mean when they say “Great ECs” my kid has a better shot than I thought. I though “Great ECs” meant State champion sprinter and Academic Decathalon 2d Place. The stuff listed by pp is attainable!
