Just like it can be scary, here are a few thoughts on how to increase your chances of getting accepted into an Ivy League school. The first step is to do some background on each school to determine which institution could be the best suited to you intellectually and spiritually. Be sure that you write your essays and even your recommendations focusing on your strengths and experiences. Timed tests are a reality and too many students are ill-prepared, so get some practice in. Also, you’ve need to take some advanced classes to improve your grades and GPA. Finally, make sure to show that you have an active life after college, which includes sports activities, clubs, and voluntary work because all Ivy League colleges prefer learners who will enhance their reputation and spirit.
