It looks for what many of the other top schools look for:\n1.) Academic GPA\n2.) Rigor of your couseload\n3.) Board scores\n4.) Extracurriculars\n5.) Essay\n6.) Recommendations from Teachers\nYou don't have to be perfect in each criteria...a high GPA could probably compensate for a slighly lower SAT score\nhowever, there's going to be a lot of people with amazing extracurriculars, and excellent grades and SAT scores...the main thing is to stand out from other people\nwrite really good essays, and show your passion. if Princeton's your top school, you might want to consider applying Early Decision.\nGood luck!

It depends on where you want to go, and where you live. You might want to check www.collegeboard.com or www.princetonreview.com for colleges. Those sites are extremeley good, and will help you out.

You don't actually pay to get in to Princeton.  The $42,000 is tuition.\n\nOfficially, you cannot PAY to obtain entrance to an Ivy League School.  (Although the elder Bushes might dispute that point...)

4 "types" of school in U.S requires very high G.P.A as well as other requirements (standardized test scores, interview, your responsibilities) for admission:\n- Pharmacy - PCAT--THE Pharmacy College Admission Test\n- Medicine - MCAT--Medical College Admission Test \n- Law - LSAT--The Law School Admission Test\n- Architecture (students have to complete 3-4 years in undergraduate school, then transfer to ).\n\n\nPharmacy schools are graduate ones. Many of them requires over 3.5 G.P.A for being admitted ( schools where I live require 3.7 for G.P.A). Even you meet the requirements, if the school(s) of which you apply see you don't have a "good" transcript (like you drop many courses), you may not be accepted.\n\nYour G.P.A is 2.0, it means C (about 75% of grades), this is the lowest score for undergraduate students "getting" out off school in U.S. It reveals that you haven't taken PCAT test.  You don't meet any basic requirements, there won't be any graduate school in U.S accept you.

Very true, Princeton has one of the nation's lowest acceptance rates. A firend of mine just was accepted with a 4.0 at a prestigious high school and an excellent SAT score which I do not recall but will not speculate on. But agreed, if you know someone who is very important you obviously are of value to the school and will have a higher liklihood of acceptance. Also, I recently read that the SAT score is now the most important "section" of a student's life they look at so I recomend something very near perfection.

First do a research and find which school you would like to go to.  Send a letter or email to that school and get an application form. The letter you will receive will tell you all the paperwork you will need, but usually the following are needed.  \n\nYou will need school transcripts in English and a bank statement that shows you have the money to go to that school (international student's tuition is very high and they don't qualify for student loans). Another thing is a TOEFL score. You have to take this exam in your country.  If you get accepted the school in the US will issue a student visa that is good for a few years (usually 4-5). Hopefully you can go to a university that has a good international office and support system.  Good luck.

The first thing you'll want to do is to study for and take the SAT.  Scores on this test are important in the admissions process, although they certainly aren't the only consideration.  Your PSAT score is already very solid and can likely be improved on for the SAT.  Kaplan and Princeton Review both publish excellent study guides as well as offer short classes you can take on the SAT (depending on your financial situation).\n\nAlso, you want to make sure you're taking classes that will prepare you for college-level academics.  If your school offers advanced, AP or IB courses, take as many of those as you think you can handle & keep your grades up (preferably A's & B's) in them.  Colleges like to see those kinds of classes on your transcript because it suggests that you will be prepared to handle coursework at the university level.  Also, if you can take AP exams, many colleges will give you course credit for certain scores.  That means less required classes when you get to school.\n\nResearching colleges is probably the most important part of the application process.  There are a lot of different criteria to think about when researching a school - location, cost, quality of student life, availability of classes/majors that interest you, admissions criteria, ranking of the school, etc.  There are a couple of good books out there that have short descriptions of most of the major universities in the US.  Also, school websites are a great source of information.  One helpful thing to do may be to make a list of the qualities you want most in a college and then rank schools on how close they come to what you want.  \n\nI think it's also really important (if you can afford it) to go visit colleges in person.  In my own college search, I know there were one or two schools that I had been really excited about after reading about them, but when I visited, I didn't like the neighborhood and the students I met seemed unhappy and stressed.\n\nBe sure to allow yourself plenty of time to complete the applications for the colleges you ultimately decide you're interested in.  It always takes more time than you think it will to fill out all of the forms and write the essays.  Also, be sure to proofread everything carefully & have someone else read all your essays to give feedback on content & grammar.  \n\nDepending on your family's financial situation and your anticipated costs for college, you will likely also need to spend some time researching and applying for scholarships.  I would recommend applying for anything and everything that you think you would be even remotely qualified for.  Every little bit of money helps!\n\nGood luck!

Don't litsen to what most people say. To get into an Ivy you need to study hard, true, but not necessarly have 4.0 GPA. Take my case in consideration, with a 3.8 I got into MIT (which is an elite college) but I had great extra-curriculars, a very strong high school curriculum, great recommendations, did an awesome interview, etc. etc. Admission to Ivy's and Elite Colleges is based on the whole picture of yourself, not only on GPA and SAT Scores.\n\nAnd don't hear to what they say about money, if you get into an Ivy, you'll be able to afford it even if your parents don't have a penny for your education. Ofter, colleges with the higher costs, are the one with more money to give in financial aid.\n\nAnd about the guys/girl stuff. It just depend where you are going to apply to. If you apply to an Engineering school, it will be easier for a girl to get in. If you apply to a non-engineering or technology school, it will be easier being a guy. That's just a general rule.

Ask your counselor.  He/she will know the requirements of your school.  I would just be guessing.

Colleges look at GPA, SAT/ACT scores, extracurricular activities(not including disciplinary actions), and your essay application.  For more information and admittance requirements go to the college website you would like to attend.  It will tell you what criteria you must meet in order to be accepted.

Basically there are only three requirements.\n1.  You have to have a student visa\n2.  You have to be accepted at the university\n3.  You have to have enough money to pay the tuition\n\nApply at the university where you want to attend and once you've been accepted, then they'll help you with the rest.\nGood luck!
