Do i have any chance for ivy leagues?

It's possible, but the C might hurt. Most of the applicants to ivy's have well above 4.0s because of AP classes and they have almost perfect SAT scores. So why are the majority rejected? It all comes down to what makes you different from all the other 10,000 who applied who have 4.0s and 2100+ on the SAT. You list activities, but other applicants are bound to have MANY (and I mean many) extracurricular activities as well listed in their resumes. What makes your activities better than theirs? What makes you stand out from the crowd?Strive to make yourself unique. Ivy's want students who not only have excellent grades, SAT scores, letters of recs and essays. They want students who with all of that, were able to do things that made them shine above the rest
