recommandation to ivy league?
488699
For a letter of recommendation to be successful, the recommender must know you well, and must convincingly provide evidence of your preparation and potential for higher education.\n\nPeople who do not know you well, and who have absolutely no evidence of your academic abilities cannot, under any circumstances, write an effective letter of recommendation.\n\nSo unless some current Harvard professors have had you in class (like in the extension school), they will be both unable and unwilling to write letters for you.

if you can...check each one out.  the biggest mistake i made was not visiting places before hand.  ive always been partial to california so i would most likely go there.  one of my friends from high visited and declined MIT for madison because he didnt like it for some reason.

Try US-Reports.com. Harvard, Princeton, Yale, Penn, Duke, Stanford, and so on. Just one opinion, but at least they have their reasons. \nhttp://www.usnews.com/usnews/edu/college/rankings/brief/natudoc/tier1/t1natudoc_brief.php

I am not sure about all Ivy League schools, but I know Princeton does not accept transfer students.  See the list of frequently asked questions on their website listed below.

Try Hunter College, if you are looking at a NY area.  It's a CUNY school but it's got good reputation.

It seems as though you are an excellent, all around student and individual and would have a good shot of getting into any of these schools.  Therefore, what is the best school for you?  \n\nThere are a many questions that you'll need to ask yourself:\n1.  What subject do you want to major in when in college?  Are there a few? - Make sure that any university that you attend has all of the different majors that you are interested in.  That way, if you try one out and find out that you do not like it, you have the other options.  Also, is the major a good program at the schools that you want to attend?\n\n2.  Do you want a big or small university?  Many times small university are look down upon because they may not have the name of a Harvard or Yale.  However, big and small university are great.  The biggest question is... do you want and/or need attention from your professors?  Bigger university professors may not be able to give students individual attention that so many students need.  Smaller universities are able to give a lot of personal attention, allowing students to contact professors any time with questions and/or advice.\n\n3.  Location, location, location!  Will you like the location that the university is in?  City versus College town?  Weather... do you want warm weather where it never snows or are you okay at a university that it snows much of winter?  \n\n4.  Does the school have the extracurricular activities that you are interested in?  Academics is not all that you are at a university for... college is all about the experience as well.  Will you have the opportunity to get involved and are the activities that you want to participate in available on the campus?\n\n5.  Do you like the campus and university?  This you'll never know until you walk onto that particular campus.  If you can, try to visit any school that you are really interested in.  College admissions representatives are paid to tell you have great the university will be.  In addition, all of the papers and viewbooks that you get from the universities will show nothing but pretty pictures.  However, you'll never know if it is the right place for you until you step on the campus.  You'll probably know within the first 5 minutes of being on the campus if you'll like it or not!  All colleges and universities do campus tours - just call the admissions office and they'll set it up for you.\n\nGood luck!

8: Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Princeton, Penn, and Yale.\nThe Ivy League is just an athletic conference made up of the top schools in the northeast in the late 1800s.  They have common practices though, such as no financial aid based on athletic merit.  This keeps them at the top of the ratings academically

It depends on what school you want to go for. Harvard will want a higher GPA than a smaller school.

You should not be focusing on one school. If you are interested in Harvard, you should apply to Princeton, Yale and others that interest you as well. Keep in mind that these colleges are extremely competitive and selective, so be prepared to present an excellent application package with top SAT I and SAT II scores, excellent grades and recommendations, essays, and tons of community and extra-curricular work.

My brother goes to Western Governors University. www.wgu.edu  it is accredited and accepts financial aid. He really likes it. The IVY League colleges are stuck up and they want the world to think that their level of education is better than other colleges. That way they can charge an outrageous amount of money.

All those things are important: grades, standing, SAT scores, extracurricular activities. But there are a lot of students who do outstanding in all those areas and are not accepted to Ivy League schools. I've been told by someone who reviews applications at a well-known Ivy that what they look for is something really unique in addition to those qualificaitons -- They look for students who are passionate about something.

apply as undecided if you dont know what you want to do. Rutgers is a "Public Ivy" school if you dont have the grades you wont get in anyhow.

Being from New England, I only know schools around here, but I'd suggest Bard College (Annandale-on-Hudson, NY), Bennington College (Bennington, VT), Simon's Rock College of Bard (Great Barrington, MA), or Emerson College (Boston, MA). I have friends at Bard and Emerson who love them. I think they all offer other areas of study, but I'm not sure if there are core requirements that would discourage you.
