Advice on how to get into an Ivy league school?[I'm a freshman]?

There's so much that I could say (stuff like what your father's probably saying), as I am currently going to a state school. The main thing you should know beforehand is that more prestigious doesn't always mean better. Make sure you really look into every school you think about before making the leap, and if possible, visit a couple before making your final decision. I am the happiest I could ever be where I am, because I really connect with the people there. That's the most important thing. My second piece of advice is an overarching one. you listed a lot of stuff that you are reaching out to do, which is great. Participate in as much as you can, but before you worry about individual things, just be sure to take advantage of everything your school offers. Don't worry about singing or dancing ability; every good musical needs a good chorus of people if you don't feel good singing on your own yet. I don't know that any theatre department would have a freshman sing a solo anyway. Don't be distressed if you don't make it into the top team in soccer right away, learn the most you can about it. But above all, make your top priority the whole time the education. I'm not going to say don't worry about your grades at all, but the thing that the top schools look into is that you are interested in the same thing that they're interested in. Make your main pursuit about learning more wherever you go, and you can't go wrong. Everything else will settle into place on its own if you do these three things.

Take the most challenging courses offered at your school, volunteer, and be committed to at least a few extracurriculars.Be unique, find out something about yourself that's different from others.
