-Work part time as a Head Lifegaurd/ Deck Supervisor 15 hours a week ( $16 an hour)



-I have my own business in which i taught swimming courses over the summer( i made $30-60 an hour). Also I recieved a government grant of $3000 for owning the business.



-I have 100+ volunteer hours ( science tutor, math tutor, senior retirement home, teacher's assistant, and music librarian).



- Student council representative, Yearbook club, DECA

executive officer(Business Debate Club), Track and Field, Cross Country Running, Ski Club, the Science Club( President), Junior and Senior Concert Band.



I want to know if I have a good chance in getting into Harvard, Stanford, Yale, or any other ivy leagues. I'd love you help especially if you went to an ivy league school!

Financial aid is provided by the Federal Government to residents. i don't believe international students are eligible. As for a chance of getting in, you would need to place in the top 5% on the SAT. As well as demonstrate how you are a unique person. Best of luck with your goals.
Reply:Harvard turned down over 1000 applicants last year, all with perfect 4.0s. You wouls probably need to beef up your appication.
