In my freshman and sophomore year, I always came close to 4.0. I always got like a 3.8 or a 3.75. It was so close! So if I take like, 5 AP classes and get straight A's in them next year will I be able get into an Ivy league? I took all honors classes as a freshman and sophomore. And my SAT scores have been pretty good. Is it possible for me to get into an Ivy League?
Ivy league schools?
You need to get a higher SAT score. I got 2 perfect scores in math and reading, but my writing score was only 720, for a total of 2320. I only read this SAT guide, and that is how I got such high scores:

I recommend this guide to anyone seeking to get a higher score to get into a first choice college.
Reply:It could be, but everyone applying to Ivy League schools has great grades in great classes. Have you done volunteering? Are you in extracurricular activities? Grades aren't everything, usually they're looking for a well rounded person.

IVY League Universities?
I understand that these Universities formed the Ivy League initially to play soccer in the 1940s. But are these univerisities much more prestigous than the other non-ivy league universities? and what are their ranking in the united states?
IVY League Universities?
Ivy league universities are just brand name schools. Yes, they are hard to get into, expensive and everyone in the world will know your school, but in reality, they're not going to guarantee you a great life. You can get the same quality education at non-ivy leagues too. It's kind of like the Chanel dress that's exactly the same as the non-Chanel dress except for the label.
It just depends what is important to you.
Reply:Ivy leagues are great, they have the best professors that money can buy and therefore give a very good education. Also i am told the work is more rigorous since you are required to have papers published every semester and also because it is rare for someone to get all A's there.
Reply:Ohio
Reply:Sure, Ivy League is good, but you can receive a good education at other universities too.
This list from US News %26amp; World Report is comprehensive and gives you info on many of them.

Ivy or State University?
I'm in my final year of high school and start University next year. I have applied to both State schools and Ivy schools. Just wondering if I get into all of them, do I choose the Ivy league and pay a hell of alot more, or do I settle for a state school? So confused...
Ivy or State University?
Undergraduate: State School
Graduate: Ivy
No one really pays attention to your undergraduate nearly as much as they do your graduate. Don't go into debt now if you can help it.
Reply:Go to a state school where you would be settling then like the University of Michigan. After all Harvard is only the Michigan of the East!!!
Good Luck!!!
Reply:Be honest with yourself and pick the school that's the best fit for you. It could be the state school, or it could be the ivy. There is no one correct answer.
Reply:If you are admitted to any Ivy, and have the financial means to go, you should. The connections you make there will be more valuable than those acquired at most state schools.
Reply:What do you intend to do after college? For many fields, the higher tuition may not be worth it. Certain state colleges have a very good rep as well. Other than certain specific fields like I-Banking or corporate law, a top public school is a better bet, especially for undergrad if you need to get a grad degree.
Take law for example. It's better to go to Berkeley for undergrad and then Harvard for grad instead of Harvard for undergrad and Berkeley for grad. You're probably better off going to San Francisco State and then Harvard for grad than Harvard undergrad and then Berkeley for grad depending on the firm.
Reply:An Ivy League School will be you far more recognition, and thus more money at the end.
Reply:Ivy if you got the cash
Reply:are you planning on furthering your education after undergrad? that might mean even more money...and most undergrad will prepare you and get you into a good graduate/medical/law school...just will you have enough money or want to go into extreme debt to do so?
Reply:Why don't you try the state school for the first two years at lesser expense...then transfer to an Ivy League school for the last years and have your diploma from there. An Ivy League diploma normally impresses more and brings in a higher wage.
Or even go to a junior college the first two years, maybe live at home. Save for the Ivy League school.

Ivy League college? fashion?
i'm in 8th grade and will soon be going up to 9th grade. I want to go in to a Ivy league and study becoming a fashion desinger, which college would suit it the most? also is FIT and UCLA a ivy league college?
Ivy League college? fashion?
UCLA is not an Ivy League school. I don't know of an Ivy League school that offers fashion design.
Ivy League schools are all on the east coast and are:
in New York state: Cornell, Columbia
in Massachusetts: Harvard
in Conneticut: Yale
in Rhode Island: Brown
in New Jersey: Princeton
in Pennsylvania: University of Pennsylvania
..and that's it!
Reply:Ohhh! I forgot to add that Dartmouth is also an Ivy League school. Poor Dartmouth. It's often forgotten that it is an Ivy League school. I think its reputation is excellent but it is often overshadowed by the larger schools such as Harvard, Princeton, Yale. Report It
Reply:There are actually eight Ivy Leagues.
Harvard University
Yale University
University of Pennsylvania
Princeton University
Columbia University
Brown University
Dartmouth College
Cornell University
And none of those schools offer fashion design as a program. Majoring in business, economics, or entrepreneurship would be good if you're looking to start your own fashion design company. And those schools offer them.
Fashion design seems like a waste for education at a college. You won't sell clothing based on what school you went to, you'll sell by the designing.
Reply:Actually, Cornell University does have an undergraduate proram in apparel design. However, I cannot speak for the other schools
Reply:FIT and UCLA are not, and I think what you're looking for is FIDM. It's not too early to find one near you and tour the campus. You'll get an idea of what exactly you'll be getting into, and if fashion design is really the path you're looking to travel. And, here's a link to the Princeton Review giving you an overview of what you should be doing to prepare for said vocation.

Is the Ivy League worth it? Whats the Best Ivy League school?
would attending a school with a prestigeous name, such as one in the ivy league, have benefits in the business world that outweigh the large cost? Whats the best Ivy league school to attend... personal experience would be greatly appreciated.
Is the Ivy League worth it? Whats the Best Ivy League school?
From my twin brother's experience and what he has explained to me, it seems to matter more where you went to Graduate School (post-undergraduate).
He went to Swarthmore (a prestigous, small college in PA) and then Harvard for 1 1/2 years. That Graduate degree from Harvard, so he tells me, impressed all of the places where he has worked.
Top schools in the US-- Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Brown, Dartmouth, Cornell, Stamford, University of PA, Columbia.
The Ivy League schools are expensive! Harvard costs approx. $50,000 a year (including room and board,etc.)
That's $200,00 for 4 years. Since college costs dramatically seem to rise each year, it could cost more.
Unless your family can pay this, expect to take out student loans and re-pay most of your life.
I would go to a state school in your home state, even if it is for a couple of years and then transfer out.
My brother (the one who went to Harvard) is a college-bound guidance counselor for a prestigious high school. He says over and over again that you can get just as good of a college education in a state college as you can in an ivy league or private college. You will also save a ton of money.
Reply:I believe you get out of an education whatever you put into it. You can flunk out of Yale and you can flunk out of a public university. Someone who makes C's in an ivy league school may learn less than someone who makes A's in a public school. You can spend your time partying or studying. Its all what you make of it.
I think its up to you whether or not you want to attend a school with a large price tag, but prestigious name. The most important thing is that the school is a fit for you, which may be an ivy league school or not. Don't base this decision on just the impressive name.
Reply:I heard grammar benefits you in the business world. You will need get at least a C in that basic English class you take in order to have a chance to excel in the business world. So, I would say you would have a better investment buying a spatula and a grill, maybe some hamburgers to practice for your career at McDonalds.
Reply:The best Ivy League school would probaly be Harvard, followed by Yale and Prinston. I think it is worth it to go to a Ivy league school, once you try to get a job they will look at what school you whent to and you will probaly get a higher salary if you whent to Harvard and Prinston.
Reply:Duke.
and no, I don't think its worth it..
Honestly, my family makes over 250grand a year..and I still decided (and still attending) community college..
Reply:if you plan on being an atty or
working for a fortune 500 firm,
their HR depts get a kick out of
Ivy League grads. I know of no one
else who cars.
I sure don't care.

Mask or Ivy?
Do you know how you go to surgery and they ask you if you want either the mask or the Ivy. I rather have Ivy because they put a patch on your skin to make your skin numb and you won't feel the needle and I hate the mask roght now because it presses on your face so what would you rather have mask or Ivy?
Mask or Ivy?
I'd rather have the IV (not ivy =P) pretty much for the same reason lol. Though i can see why poeple who are afraid of needles would want the gas mask.
Reply:I dont believe that they put poison Ivy on your skin in sugery to make you numb. Sorry, please EXPLAIN your question;
As for what I understand, I would rather have the mask than poison Ivy on my skin.

Ivy Tech sent me info from "state" and "community" colleges. What's the difference?
Can anyone tell me the difference between "Ivy Tech Community College" and "Ivy Tech State College"?
Ivy Tech sent me info from "state" and "community" colleges. What's the difference?
Although the name would certainly lead me to believe that this was a private technical college, their website suggests that they are a public school in Indiana. Normally, a community college is a 2-year college which offers an associate's degree, and a state college is a public 4-year university offering a bachelor's degree. Looking at their website, however, I see no evidence that they offer anything beyond the associates level and, given that Indiana already has a rather complicated system of Purdue campuses and Indiana State University and Ball State University and the like, I'm not at all sure that this isn't just a system of community colleges which, because they have campuses in various locations, calls itself a "state" college.
Reply:I don't know about that college, but most community colleges don't have dorms for people to stay in. Community colleges you usually drive back and forth to the campus from your home or apartment. Community colleges are usually smaller.
