Can you get into an Ivy League College if you start volunteering and joining clubs in your junior year and have good SAT scores and have a GPA of 3.8?

Answer 1

Absolutely, make sure though that you are learning from your life experiences so that during potential interviews your responses reflect a higher level of life understanding. Keep in mind that you are one of the many students with top-notch credentials and that the difference between you and the other candidates is the wisdom and maturity gained through life ventures. There are far too many people that focus on grades and test scores while neglecting the true meaning of the collegiate experience (how will you best be able to succeed in life, for whatever that means to you).
