Apply to Ivy League
Zhoulihao2002:
Hi guys, I am applying the US Ivy League this year (eg, Harvard, Princeton, Columbia...). I didn’t hand in any SAT score, but I use my ATAR (99.65, didn’t do well due to the sudden change in VCE maths exam style).
-I had a lot of volunteer works, eg, built a house in Vietnam for a poor family, worked as a teacher assistant for a year in both local special school and language centre, helped people in the community with gardening, initiated a bridging program with my school and Doctors without Boarders and etc...
-I also helped an associate professor from FuDan university (No.3 university in China) with the research of DNA double strand break, founded my school’s first science club, got an ADF future innovator award.
-Also, I am a state swimmer, won 1st place in All Victorian school swimming race freestyle relay (thanks to my team mates XD) and 4th place in backstroke. I played piano for 13 years, performed with my peers in Arch of triumph, Menium Gate, Westminster Abbey... I am also in our school’s chess team, volleyball team and a bunch of other extracurricular teams.
So, I am just wondering what my chances are and roughly who am I competing with? Can anyone give me a rough idea please? Thank you!

Profile wise is slightly below average for the people I know who were admitted into top-tier Ivy's (HYP) and probably around average for the easier ones (e.g. Cornell)
Probably all depends on your essay and your actual execution. Have seen worse get in and better not get in!

Just wondering if the “easier ones” include Columbia?
