If you want your kid to stand out in the future, straight A’s aren’t going to cut it. On average, the standard admission rate for an Ivy League school is 5% or less. Thousands of brilliant students get turned away every year.
But there’s a catch.
After doing some digging, my team and I uncovered a crazy statistic — there is a certain demographic of students who have a 75% chance of getting accepted into an Ivy League college. Seriously!? While every other kid flounders to get accepted into their dream Ivy, there’s a group of students almost guaranteed to get in? You could say our curiosity was officially piqued.
My team and I found three commonalities among the 75%:
They score 1550+ on the SAT
They score a 5 on at least three of the most difficult AP tests (like chemistry or calc BC)
And they are Olympic athletes.
