What exactly is enough?
This is kind of a repost, but I need an answer to one of the biggest questions: Am I doing enough to get into the Ivy League? I plan to take around 14 AP classes by the end of high school, 6ish honors, and 2 college courses. I plan to be the treasurer of Stugo and NHS, and hold leadership in 2 other clubs, and do Swim and Track. I plan to have a 4.0 uwGPA, and get a physics internship. Is all of this enough for Ivy League?

There is no exact formula for getting into an Ivy. The top competitors for the schools you will be applying to will have similar resumes. I think that if you are able to all pull that off, you have a good shot! Unfortunately, there are no guarantees. But remember to do projects/activities for yourself- colleges are able to recognize when you do things for the resume vs. when you actually have passion, and they prefer the latter. Best of luck in these upcoming years!

The thing I have learner about Ivy leagues through my college search is that past a certain point the admissions become almost random. I would say that’s a pretty strong list and if you apply to all or most ivies and other selective schools you have a good chance of getting into one-you just might not be able to predict which one. And even if not an ivy I’m sure you can get into a similarly prestigious or selective school.
