[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did this to stand out as an applicant. I had extra curriculars that I could tie to the major I said I wanted to study and got a perfect score on the SAT II (back when that was a thing) for my intended major. [b]Even 20 years ago, you couldn't get into an Ivy as a white kid from the suburbs with straight As who was president of a few clubs. [/b]You needed a story. Since I had no idea what I wanted to major in, I just picked the thing that I thought would most help me get in. Since I had the grades and test scores to back it up, I did not see anything wrong with it. Other kids have parents who donate buildings or pay for years of travel sports. I bought a Princeton Review book and spent hours studying for the SAT subject test. [/quote]

Not true for my UMC ORM white neighborhood. Being tops at academics with the standard meangless ECs was plenty. "Straight As" wasn't enough, but APs were. It wasn't enough to coast on the baseline curriculum. [/quote]

That is enough for a top Ivy?[/quote]
