I was wondering if you go to a subpar high school but still have amazing grades, EC's, test scores, and community service, can you still get accepted to an ivy league school? Does it influence a college's decision if you go to an average (or slightly less than average) high school?
Ivy league high school?
Actually I think it's better if you don't go to those renowned high schools. If you can prove that you have the talent, intelligence and drive in a lower ranked school, than they'll be more willing to accept you. Plus you'll probably have less competition since your classmates may aim lower.
Reply:No, you can still get into Ivy League schools; your high school doesn't matter. (On an additional note, because a lot of subpar schools are located in under-represented states. If you are from a subpar rural Mississippi school (or any lacking states), you will even get some advantage.)
-Good luck; PM me if you have more questions
(Just reminding you that Ivy League is just a sport conference, you cannot seriously just consider all of these schools as a single entity. They are vastly different. Dartmouth is so different from Cornell. Brown is so different from Penn. additionally there are other top private schools such as Stanford, MIT, Duke, etc that are as good as Ivy League schools.)
