It's possible. The thing about Ivy League admissions is that even if you're an amazing student with great extracurriculars, you're still not guaranteed a spot. It's based on luck a lot and many great students are rejected from these schools. It's basically a numbers game. The more places you apply, the better chances you have. Always pick a few safety schools to fall back on if you don't get accepted to your top choices.

I go to a Catholic prep school which has a general "in" with Georgetown and Notre Dame, (also my dad is a graduate of Georgetown), so I pretty much think I could get into either of those schools easily.

how can a school being IN new jersey, be closer to new york???? guess the ivy leagues was outta the question for you... but anyway, princeton is ranked the top school year after year by time magazine and harvards in a close second.

I believe I meant that Princeton was closer to NY than all the other Ivy League schools...I'm not sure though because it was a year ago...

That's the equivalent of a 1400 on the old ones. I was sick and hung over so I should do much better the next time I take it.
