Does Harvard have a zoology or veterinary department?

It does not appear that Harvard has a dedicated pre-veterinary medicine program at this time (Fall 2012). However, there is a student organization for pre-vet students.

You do not have to complete a dedicated pre-veterinary medicine program to apply for and be accepted to vet school. You simply have to complete the pre-requisites for the schools you wish to apply to.

How do you get into an Ivy League school?

Grades and test scores aren't the only things colleges are looking at anymore. Schools are much more concerned with students being well rounded in order to offer diverity into the school.

Many Ivy League Colleges will take a person who has a Minimum test score of 1300 or 1400 on the SAT and and that has held an officer position in a club, played sport, and volunteered over someone that didn't have any outside influences but amazing test scores and grades.

Now, don't get me wrong. If you going to take shot at the big time Ivy League colleges and hoping for lots of financial aid you better have practically a 4.0 as well as showing you can be a president or v.p. of a club, volunteer, and play sports.

Being able to handle all these factors early is life shows that when you are in college you're going be able to handle the life stressors.

My best advice? Starting from the first day of your freshman year in high school, turn off the t.v. and concentrate on your studies. Join two or three clubs that you enjoy as well as a sport (a school team or a club). As you get older, work your way up in the clubs, gaining an officer position, and use the sport as a stress reliever.

Don't stress yourself out though, Ivy League colleges aren't always the best choice for everyone. Don't disregard state private schools.

Choose subjects and activities that you are passionate about! I can't stress this enough. Also, don't be afraid to go out of your comfort zone: try new experiences, expose yourself to different cultures. And if there isn't a certain club or programme in your community, don't sit around complaining about it, start your own! If you see a need for something in your community, then find a way to fulfill that need. And I would say don't focus too much on getting into an Ivy League college. Try to enjoy your time in high school.

Grades and test scores only reveal part of yourself, and I've seen people with 4.0 GPAs and 2400 SAT scores get rejected from the top colleges, simply because they have nothing else to show on their application.

You want to show that you are dedicated and really want to study at the university. Joining clubs and sports helps, but the "stereotypical" student seems to join a few clubs without any sort of commitment or leadership, even though he/she has high grades and test scores. I personally know people who have been accepted to schools like Caltech, Harvard, and MIT because they hold national or international titles (ISEF, IMO winners) or have published original research while in high school.

What are the Ivy League schools?

Asked by Jaylin Konopelski

The eight Ivy League schools are:

  • Brown University (Providence, Rhode Island)
  • Columbia University (New York City)
  • Cornell University (Ithaca, New York)
  • Dartmouth College (Hanover, New Hampshire)
  • Harvard University (Cambridge, Massachusetts)
  • University of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)
  • Princeton University (Princeton, New Jersey)
  • Yale University (New Haven, Connecticut)

The Ivy League was established in 1954 as an athletic conference, so even though each of the eight schools has a long and distinguished history, the distinction doesn't necessarily have anything to do with academics.

If you have a C average on your report card for the first quarter in an AP course do you still have any chance of being accepted into an Ivy League University?

Does a 2-day suspension in elementary wreck your chances of getting a scholarship or going to an Ivy League university?

Asked by Wiki User

Even though suspensions and etc are kept on your academic record which is reviewed by colleges I doubt that would have any affect on you seeing as this happen in Elementary School. What you do in High School is mainly the only thing many colleges look at/care about.

The Ivy League schools are highly selective, with acceptance rates ranging from about nine to 20 percent. The phrase Ivy League historically has been perceived as connected, not only with academic excellence, but also with social elitism.
