What is really neccessary for IVY League scholarship/acceptance?

GPA isn't one of their main concerns, but it still should be at least 3.8 or higher. Take advantage of honors &/or AP classes as soon as possible but remember not to take more than you can handle. You should take at least 4 AP classes within your entire high school year. EXTRA CURRICULAR activities are the MOST important thing anyone needs to get into an IVY League college. They look for leadership and participation points, join a club now to become president later.
