the first thing you can do is relax.\nask yourself how many of those 22 activites you would be doing if you weren't trying to get into college.  if there are only 2 or 3, great.  focus on those.  it looks a lot better if you've done a lot of work in 1 or 2 areas than if you are too spread out.  \ntry to actually expand your mind instead of just working constantly.  i know plenty of people with 4.0 GPAs, but the ones who get into harvard are the ones who have original ideas, and also know how to have a good time.  you can memorize every book in the library, but if you don't have real thoughts of your own, there's no point.\nyou're probably genuinely smart.  this is a major advantage, and will help you at whatever school you attend.  but don't forget that you go to both high school and college in order to learn.  so when you're getting your straight As and your perfect test scores, don't forget to learn something interesting, and do things that you like.  that's the best advice i can give for getting into any top school.\nbest of luck.

Ok, apply to one of the colleges/universities and see if they will accept you.

Depends on what college/university you want to go to.\n\nCommunity colleges and Junior colleges are easier to get into.  I would suggest you go to the websites of the colleges/universities that you are interested in and see what their requirements are.\n\nAlthough your GPA is important, your SAT score is also important, along with your extracuricular activities and community service.\n\nMy son just got into a top 10 private university for the fall.  His GPA was 5.81 out of 6, but he had a high SAT score and wrote a great essay with his application.

All A* is a good start!  It's not a clearcut thing on grades alone, though - the interview process at Cambridge is very rigorous in a personal sense as well as an academic one, to the extent that people who are extremely bright but who the dons don't think are quite right may well not get in, despite sterling grades.\n\nIn as much as you can affect it, broadening your interests (music, sports - other hobbies save pure academia) as much as possible would help, but the best you can do is knuckle down and get the A-levels to match those GCSEs and make them take notice of you there and give you a chance to shine in the interview.  Good luck!

To really have a good competitive chance.\n\nSAT - 2150 and above, aim for at least 700 a section, that includes the SAT II's. Pick your strongest subject and take the SAT subject test, try to get 750 and above.\n\nYour ACTs could definitely improve.\n\nBe sure to have good extracurricular records. Actively participate in different activities. It would also look good to do volunteer.

It doesn't matter what school you go too.  You can go to harvard and still be stupid. Just strive to be the best at what you do.

Well, I don't know what year you are in school, so I don't know how much time you have left, but.. Do a sport for more than one year (doesn't matter if it's JV as long as it's for a little while). Be in plays and clubs, definitely. Do community service (something meaningful..not raking leaves), and do something that shows leadership potential (as in student government). Try to get good SAT scores, and take hard classes. Good grades in art and P.E. don't say much, a B+ in an AP class is much, much better. Good luck!

First, work hard on your bachelors. It can be any major, just make sure you enjoy it and do well. You need to get the best grades you can to be competitive - the admissions process is getting more and more competitive every year.\n\nIn your junior year, start thinking about studying for your LSAT - the law school admissions test.  You probably want to take it no later that October of your senior year, so you can have your applications complete for early admissions in October and November.\n\nIt's really best to study through a classroom course like Kaplan - you can get some personal attention, study with real questions, and take plenty of full length tests - exactly what you need to do in order to do well on the LSAT.  \n\nYou want to start being really nice to your professors, so you can get great letters of reccomendation.  Also, if you can, an internship, volunteer position, or a part time job will help fill out your resume.\n\nGPA and LSAT are the two most important factors for getting into school - the letters of rec and personal statement are just the icing on the cake.  Work hard on your GPA and especially your LSAT (a great LSAT score will balance out a lower GPA).\n\nCheck out http://www.LSAC.org for information on the LSAT, law schools, and the admissions process.  If you are at a university now, talk to your career office - they will usually have a prelaw advisor on staff who will help you get started.  Good luck!!

Sure. They may or may not accept you depending on your background. I had a friend who was homeschooled (with only a GED to officially show for it), and she was accepted to Harvard.

I thought you just had to know how to party to get into Chico.\n\nIf you are serious, you should go to the school and talk to the admissions people.  That is the best way to know what to do to get in.

You'd have to be on the top honors of your class with excellent grades and a high GPA that's more than 4.0.  Plus, you'd need to have lots of clubs and activities in your high school career to show that you'd be a great representative of their school.\n\nThey do accept first time freshmans into Harvard, but I think what your friends mean is according to the odds of being accepted to Harvard.  Harvard is a very hard school to get into because they have very high standards in their students.

I suggest you to get accepted at Harvard. Just like him.

Here's the latest rating list.  Harvard, Stanford, and Wharton (Penn) usually top the list.  But there are many good schools.  Very few can get into Harvard.  (They even turned ME down!) \n\nBest of luck to you.

A 3.5 GPA is probably way too low for most applicants to get in.  Remember, the average GPA and SAT numbers are generally lower than what is required for most applicants to have a realistic chance of getting in to these type of schools (unless you're in a special situation that offers some advantage).  The average GPA and SAT numbers for these schools is dragged down by athletes, legacies, those with connections, etc.  I would say for someone without any specific admission advantage, a 3.8 GPA and 1500 SAT or higher is more realistic to be competitive.  Class rank may be more applicable than GPA as well.  My brother had a 3.8 GPA, 1570 SAT's, and was a collegiate caliber track athlete and got rejected from MIT.

No one gets into NYU easily, for the most part.  You need to have the grades first and foremost.  Visit their site, get their admission info.  Speak with your guidance counselor at school.

Generally, it's a good idea to have anywhere between a 3.7 to 4.0 GPA in the hardest possible courses in your major. In addition, make sure that your GREs,MCATs,GMATs,LSATs, etc are in the 90th percentile and above. \n Of course, there are other things that they take into consideration, such as your Statement of Purpose, and your letters of recommendations. \n If your grades are top notch and standardized test scores are phenomenal, then you have made several steps into getting for Harvard for grad school.Make sure you professors write phenomenal letters. However, if your grades and test scores are high,you're practically in to NYU, unless you apply to Stern Business School, where it's just as competitive as Harvard, except Harvard is more competitive.\n  It all depends on what you want to do in graduate school.
