Only the eight schools listed in this article are Ivy League schools, Bellah. However, there are still many other top-notch universities across the country. For instance, U.S. News and World Report listed Rice at number 17 in its 2010 Best Colleges list. Rice University also includes a list of recent honors and rankings on its website.

Beth, the 3.75 GPA is on a 4.0 scale.

Is the 3.75 GPA weighted or non-weighted?

Well, Alex, if you think about it most Ivy league students are in the top 1%. But, you never know until you try it out. Good Luck

Although Stanford is certainly a prestigious and highly-ranked school, it is not considered an Ivy League school. Only the eight northeastern schools listed in this article are part of the Ivy League athletic conference.

It's impossible to say whether any hypothetical student would be accepted or not. Statistically, a GPA of 3.6 and an SAT score of 1320 are a little on the low side by Ivy League admission standards. However, these schools are committed to creating diverse classes of freshmen, so not everyone admitted will have perfect scores. I think your involvement in other activities is in your favor, and a great essay will only strengthen your case. In the end, you'll just have to give the applications your best effort and hope for success.

Isn't Stanford an Ivy League School? Also, say I have a 3.6 GPA and a sport every season, a great essay, a 1320 on the SAT's, and do community service with mentally challenged chlildren, would I have a decent chance of getting into an Ivy League school? Please answer.
