Is a 3.93 adequate for admission to an Ivy League such as Harvard or Yale?

Question

a lot of the classes that i've taken and am going to take in high school are AP's, i'd say around 7. I also do two sports and run a club and plan on running for vice president of my senior year

Answer 1

Ivy leagues are like lotteries. 1/100 chance mate.

Answer 2

It depends.  At my school we had 11 valedictorians (all with a 4.0) and the salutatorian was the only one to get accepted to Harvard.  He didn't do any sports, but i think he did NHS.  Its not just your high-school resume, but the impression you make on the Harvard representative you'll be meeting if you're serious about applying.  Good luck

Answer 3

Your GPA is no guarantee you'll get into an Ivy League school.

Answer 4

Hate to break it to you but the GPA is not all that guarantees getting into an Ivy. Everyone who applies to these schools have amazing credentials (high GPA's, high SATs etc) so there's more that goes into selecting the best of the best. You have a great GPA though so def. apply but you'll end up at a great school no matter...there are other great schools out there besides the Ivy's I promise.

Answer 5

No...you won't be getting into either Harvard or Yale
