Is it safe to apply to to ivy league schools?

I have hope that I will get accepted to an ivy league school. However, I know that the chances of that happening are pretty low. I am also planning on apply to a few schools that I deem as safe to me since I am positive I will get into those. It's just that I want to throw my application out there in the sea and hope to get reeled in by one of those ivy league schools. Therefore, am I just kidding myself by actually doing that? #college #advice #ivy-league

Hi Gloria,


I would recommend applying to a combination of safety schools, best fit schools and reach schools. Ivy league schools are a stretch for anyone because of the volume of applicants they receive. As long as you make sure to keep your options open and apply to a variety of schools then I do recommend applying to some stretch schools, you never know unless you try!


Here is a link to an article about the different types of schools and some suggestions on how to choose the right ones for you to apply to: http://www.princetonreview.com/college-advice/dream-match-safety-schools


Thanks,
Carol

There is nothing wrong in trying and don't sell yourself short. By applying to safe net schools you are doing it right.

Absolutely. Review the criteria and requirements for acceptance. If you are meeting the requirements definitely apply. There are a lot of you tube videos out there also on IVY league schools and the application process. Some great tips from students who have gone through the process.
