Answer 1

nothing. elementry education does not count for anything when colleges look at you . of course if you are in a private school and your family is wealthy they might ask but honestly elementy is nothing

high school is what matters most. the only way now a days you can get into a ivy school is having the highest grade in ur school and community service and a lot of things. good luck since high school is suppose to be the best years of your life

Answer 2

Take the PSAT and start studying for the real one. Also sign up for scholarships and stuff.  You should really get into volunteering and community service early as well.  You can even look up which colleges you're interested in on collegeboard.com and see what kinds of recommendations and requirements they would like you to have in high school.  Also, look into some AP courses you would like to take Freshman year.  You can sign up for some summer classes at a local college and try to study beyond your course curriculum.  Middle school really has nothing at all to do with college, so your options are limited.  The real work begins Freshman year and onward.

Answer 3

study, study, and study somemore. make the best grades possible, get involved in as many good organizations you can, and volunteer a lot.

i will say though, ivy league schools are not all they are cracked up to be though. if a good school offers you a full ride, take it. my friend went to princeton, had no life, and is not it debt over her head.  

Answer 4

umm heres a hint go to high school!

Answer 5

It would be really helpful to be poor, a minority, & female. But since you can't change any of that, work hard to get top grades, read a ton of everything you can get your hands on, do a lot of community service, get into leadership of groups you're interested in, and become a very interesting person. You'll have to stand out from other really determined people, and there are lots of those!

   On the other hand, Ivy League isn't everything. Read some interesting biographies and you'll see that a lot of very successful people had little to start with. Just determine to be all you can be and the rest will take care of itself.

Answer 6

Continue to study hard so you can move into high school and get good grades.  Develop some interests other than studying.

Answer 7

continue to produce good grades, get involved in community services. involve yourself in social extra curricular groups at school.
