A previous poster is right that a 3.2 may prevent you from getting in to an Ivy. One alternative to consider, as you mentioned, is going to a "lesser" school, working hard to get the highest grades and then trying for an Ivy for graduate school.





I have known people who went to "modest" state schools like Idaho and Nevada-Reno that went on to graduate school at Stanford and Harvard, respectively. They had very high (3.9+ GPAs) and were very active in student government and academic associations.





I wouldn't give up your dreams - they're still attainable, with a lot of hard work. Keep in mind, though, that you can still have a distinguished career even if you don't attend an Ivy.

Reply:My mother works at a pretigious private all boys high school where our countries legislatures send their children. From what I have hesard from her there are many things to take into account. First of all your financial standing is very important. Ivy League schools only give out small amounts of financial aid so if you do not have the money or resources to get that large a loan than you might want to consider looking elswhere.





They also takes into account who you know. People may say that connections are not important, but they are to an extent. There are boys at my mother's school with a B+ average who will be chosen over the student with an A average because they are a legacy or they have a wing named after a family member.





I don't want to break your heart but with a 3.2 I don't think that you will get into an Ivy. There are so many good schools out there you shouldn't be discouraged. Out of MILLIONS that apply to those school most are valedictorians with perfect scores on the SAT's. You are competing with your peers and only an infinitesimal amount of you will be accepted.





You cna still apply but make sure that you have other schools for backups. That way you will cover all the bases.
