What are Ivy Leagues looking for in terms of grades/essays?
I am a 11th grader, currently 16 years old. I am interested in architecture and hope to go to Cornell. I recently opened an architecture club and I have around a 3.8 GPA. I have only taken 1 Honors and 1 AP class. For my senior year, I am planning on taking 2 college classes and 2 APs. What can I do to improve my profile? Should I focus on my leadership / community roles or more on my grades??

What should I do to get into a top college for psychiatry?
I want to go to an Ivy League college. What can I do to give me a better chance at getting in, and earning scholarships?
Is it still possible to get into a top 20 school with a 3.8 gpa?
For context in 9th grade I got a 4.0 gpa and for this year I got a 3.6 gpa for semester 1 despite the fact I had a 4 for all my classes except for marketing. I got a 3.2 which is considered an A at my school. But because I enrolled into marketing class late which is not my fault at all my teacher decided to give me 0.25/0.50 credit even though I made up the past work. My counselor decided to change my class before the end of the semester which I was so confused about and I wasn’t allowed to change my class. The way my school calculates gpa is extremely weird and unfair. There’s no way I got a 3.6 gpa for the first semester that doesn’t seem right. I am in 10th grade.

Do you think it is worth doing the IB program to get into a top 20 school?
I selected my classes for next year and chose to do the IB program. I am starting to regret that choice. I would rather do partial IB. Do you think It’ll look bad if I drop out of the IB program to do partial IB? My goal is to get into a top 20 school. Also my school is an IB school so they do not offer AP classes. I am currently in 10th grade.

Do you have to go to a prestigious university to get into a "good" medical school?
I plan to study to become a #physician after I graduate from high school. I want to attend a "good" #medical-school, but I don't know if I'll be able to get into one if I attend a #public-school. I know that it is mostly up to me on whether I make it or not. But I have to believe that people who are undergraduates at #ivy-league schools are more likely to get into top medical schools. However, I don't want to be piled high with #student-debt before I even get to medical school, which will probably be even more #expensive . #premedical #medicine #premed
