Acceptance into University!?

Question

I am into liberal arts/humanities for my major.

I am a sophomore in high school, I have big aspirations. I've always been a good student, I guess I am intelligent and I have accelerated courses, early APs and everything.

If I wanted to get into a university like, say UMass or UPenn, or other ivy league, what requirements do I need?

Do I need a lot of extracurriculars? Like athletics or something? Cause I suck at sports. Do I need a lot of volunteer hours, join alot of clubs?

And what would be a minimum average to get into an Ivy-League school? Just need a general idea.

And does anyone know of any ivy-league school that has financial assistance as well? like scholarships and bursaries.

thanks, i really wanna plan out my life cause I wasn't given much and I wanna pay back my parents cause they gave so much to me.

Answer 1

To get into one of those Ivy league school, you must show promise. What i mean is that they know for sure that you will succeed in their school as well as in life. As long as you show potential and promise, you should get in. But of course you still have to have extraordinary grades in H.S.

I know one High school student who wrote a book and had it published so when he applied to these Ivy leagues, he gave his book with his application and recommendations. He got accepted into almost every ivy league school he applied to. You don't have to do this, just show that you can succeed in their school.

As for the scholarship part, file for FAFSA in senior year of H.S. You should get some financial aid. Also check with your parents employer. They might give scholarships.

Good Luck
