How to Get Into an Ivy League School

If you are hoping to attend one of the Ivy League schools, youre going to need more than good grades. Seven of the eight Ivies have made the list of the most selective colleges in the country, and acceptance rates range from 6% for Harvard University to 15% for Cornell University. Applicants who are admitted have earned excellent grades in challenging classes, demonstrated meaningful involvement in extracurricular activities, revealed leadership skills, and crafted winning essays. All Ivy League schools should be considered reach schools. A successful Ivy League application is not the result of a little effort at application time. It is the culmination of years of hard work. The tips and strategies below can help make sure your Ivy League application is as strong as possible. Develop the Foundation for Ivy League Success Early The Ivy League universities (and all universities for that matter) will consider your accomplishments in 9th through 12th grades only. The admissions folks will not be interested in that literary award you got in 7th grade or the fact that you were on the varsity track team in 8th grade. That said, successful Ivy League applicants build the foundation for an impressive high school record long before high school. On the academic front, if you can get into an accelerated math track while in middle school, this will set you up to complete calculus before you graduate from high school. Also, start a foreign language as early as possible in your school district, and stick with it. This will put you on track to take an Advanced Placement language class in high school, or to take a dual enrollment language class through a local college. Strength in a foreign language  and completing math through calculus  are both important features of the majority of winning Ivy League applications. You can get admitted without these accomplishments, but your chances will be diminished. Its not too early to begin college preparation in middle school — this can help you understand the numerous ways in which a strong middle school strategy can help set you up for Ivy League success. When it comes to extracurricular activities in middle school, use them to find your passion so that you begin ninth grade with focus and determination. If you discover in middle school that drama, not soccer, is what you truly want to be doing in your after school hours, great. Youre now in a position to develop depth and demonstrate leadership on the drama front when youre in high school. This is hard to do if you discover your love of theater in your junior year.   Craft Your High School Curriculum Thoughtfully The most important piece of your Ivy League application is your high school transcript. In general,  youll need to take the most challenging classes available to you if you are going to convince the admissions folks that you are prepared to succeed in your college coursework. If you have a choice between AP Calculus or business statistics, take AP Calculus. If Calculus BC is an option for you, it will be more impressive than Calculus AB. If you are debating whether or not you should take a foreign language in your senior year, do so (this advice assumes that you feel you are capable of succeeding in these courses). You should also be realistic on the academic front. The Ivies dont, in fact, expect you to take seven AP courses in your junior year, and trying to do too much is likely to backfire by causing burn out and/or low grades. Focus on core academic areas — English, math, science, language — and make sure you excel in these areas. Courses such as AP Psychology, AP Statistics, or AP Music Theory are fine if your school offers them, but they dont carry the same weight as AP Literature and AB Biology.   Also, keep in mind that the Ivies recognize that some students have more academic opportunities than others. Only a small fraction of high schools offer a challenging International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum. Only larger, well-funded high schools can offer a wide breadth of Advanced Placement courses. Not all high schools make it easy to take dual enrollment courses at a local college. If youre from a small rural school without many academic opportunities, the admissions officers at the Ivy League schools take your situation into consideration, and measures such as your SAT/ACT scores and letters of recommendation will be even more important for evaluating your college readiness. Earn High Grades You are likely wondering which is more important: high grades or challenging courses?  The reality for Ivy League admissions is that you need both. The Ivies will be looking for lots of A grades in the most challenging courses available to you. Also, keep in mind that the applicant pool for all of the Ivy League schools is so strong that the admissions offices are often not interested in weighted GPAs. Weighted GPAs play an important and legitimate role in determining your class rank, but the reality is that when  admissions committees are comparing students from around the world, they will consider whether or not that A in AP World History is a true A or if it is B that was weighted up to an A. Realize that you dont need straight A grades to get into the Ivy League, but every B on your transcript is lessening your chance  of admission. Most successful Ivy League applicants have unweighted GPAs that are up in the 3.7 range or higher (3.9 or 4.0 is more common).   The pressure to earn straight A grades can sometimes cause applicants to make bad decisions when applying to highly competitive colleges. You should not  write a supplemental essay explaining why you got a B in one course in your sophomore year. There are, however, a few situations in which you should explain a bad grade. Also, keep in mind that some students with less-than-stellar grades get admitted. This can be because they have an exceptional talent, come from a school or country with different grading standards, or have legitimate circumstances that made earning A grades extremely challenging. Focus on Depth and Achievement in Your Extracurricular Activities There are hundreds of endeavors that count as extracurricular activities, and the reality is that any of them can make your application shine if you have demonstrated true depth and passion in your chosen activity. In general, think of extracurriculars in terms of depth, not breadth. A student who acts a minor role in a play one year, plays JV tennis one spring, joins yearbook another year, and then joins Academic All-Stars senior year is going to look like a dabbler with no clear passion or area of expertise (these activities are all good things, but they dont make for a winning combination on an Ivy League application). On the flip side, consider a student who plays euphonium in County Band in 9th grade, Area All-State in 10th grade, All-State in 11th grade, and who also played in the school symphonic band, concert band, marching band, and pep band for all four years of high school. This is a student who clearly loves playing her instrument and will bring that interest and passion to the campus community.   Show That You Are a Good Community Member The admissions folks are looking for students to join their community, so they clearly want to enroll students who care about the community. One way to demonstrate this is through community service. Realize, however, that there is no magic number here — an applicant with 1,000 hours of community service may not have an advantage over a student with 300 hours. Instead, make sure you are doing community service that is meaningful to you and that truly makes a difference in your community. You may even want to write one of your supplemental essays about one of your service projects. Earn High SAT or ACT Scores None of the Ivy League schools are test-optional, and SAT and ACT scores still carry a bit of weight in the admissions process. Because the Ivies draw from such a diverse pool of students from around the world, standardized tests truly are one of the few tools the schools can use to compare students. That said, the admissions folks do recognize that financially advantaged students have an advantage with the SAT and ACT, and that one thing these tests tend to predict is a familys income. To get a sense of what SAT and/or ACT scores youre going to need to get into an Ivy League school, check out these graphs of GPA, SAT and ACT data for students who were accepted, waitlisted, and rejected: BrownColumbiaCornellDartmouth Harvard Penn PrincetonYale The numbers are rather sobering: the great majority of admitted students are scoring in the top one or two percentiles on the SAT or ACT. At the same time, youll see that there are some outlying data points, and a few students do get in with less-than-ideal scores. Write a Winning Personal Statement Chances are youre applying to the Ivy League using the Common Application, so youll have five options for your personal statement. Its a good idea to research your Common Application essay options, and understand that your essay is extremely crucial. An essay that is riddled with errors or focuses on a trivial or clichà © topic could land your application in the rejection pile. At the same time, realize that your essay doesnt need to focus on something extraordinary. You dont need to have solved global warming or saved a bus full of 1st-graders to have an effective focus for your essay. More important than what you write about is that you focus on something important to you and that your essay is thoughtful and self-reflective.   Put Significant Effort Into Your Supplemental Essays All of the Ivy League schools require school-specific supplemental essays in addition to the main Common Application essay. Dont underestimate the importance of these essays. For one, these supplemental essays, much more than the common essay, demonstrate why you are interested in a specific Ivy League school. The admissions officers at Yale, for example, arent just looking for strong students. They are looking for strong students who are truly passionate about Yale and have specific reasons for wanting to attend Yale. If your supplemental essay responses are generic and could be used for multiple schools, you havent approached the challenge effectively. Do your research and be specific. The supplemental essays are one of the best tools for demonstrating your interest in a specific university.   Ace Your Ivy League Interview Youre likely to interview with an alum of the Ivy League school to which you are applying. In truth, the interview isnt the most important part of your application, but it can make a difference. If you stumble to answer questions about your interests and your reasons for applying, this can certainly damage your application. Youll also want to make sure that you are polite and personable during your interview. In general, Ivy League interviews are friendly exchanges, and your interviewer wants to see you do well. A little preparation, however, can help. Be sure to think about the most common interview questions, and work to avoid typical interview mistakes. Apply Early Action or Early Decision Harvard, Princeton, and Yale all have a single-choice early action program. Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, and Penn have early decision programs. All of these programs allow you to apply to just a single school through the early program. Early decision has additional restrictions in that if you are admitted, you are obligated to attend. You should not  apply early decision if you are not 100% positive that a specific Ivy League school is your top choice. With early action, however, its fine to apply early if theres a chance you will later change your mind. If youre on target for Ivy League admission (grades, SAT/ACT, interview, essays, extracurriculars), applying early is the best tool you have for improving your chances significantly. According to early and regular admit rates for the Ivy League schools, you are four times more likely to get into Harvard by applying early than applying with the regular applicant pool. Factors That You Cant Control If you start early and prepare accordingly, there are many aspects of the application process you can work to your favor. There are, however, a couple factors in the Ivy League admissions process that are outside of your control. Its great if these factors work in your favor, but if they dont, dont fret — the majority of accepted students do  not  have these advantages. First is legacy status. If you have a parent or sibling who attended the Ivy League school to which you are applying, this can work to your advantage. Colleges tend to like legacies for a couple reasons: they will be familiar with the school and are likely to accept an offer of admission (this helps with the universitys yield); also, family loyalty can be an important factor when it comes to alumni donations. You also cant control how you fit into the universitys efforts to enroll a diverse class of students. Other factors being equal, an applicant from Montana or Nepal is going to have an advantage over an applicant from New Jersey. Similarly, a strong student from an under-represented group will have an advantage over a student from a majority group. This may seem unfair, and its certainly an issue that has been debated in the courts, but most selective private universities operate under the idea that the undergraduate experience is enriched significantly when the students come from a wide range of geographical, ethnic, religious, and philosophical backgrounds. A Final Word Before you embark on the application process, Ivy League applicants should ask themselves, Why the Ivy League? Perhaps not surprisingly, many times the answer is often far from satisfactory: family pressure, peer pressure, or just the prestige factor. Keep in mind that there is nothing magical about the eight Ivy League schools. Of the thousands of colleges in the world, the one that best matches your personality, academic interests, and professional aspirations is very likely  not  one of the eight Ivies.   Every year youll see the news headlines heralding that one student who got into all eight Ivies. The news channels love to celebrate these students, and the accomplishment is certainly impressive. At the same time, a student who would thrive in the bustling urban environment of Columbia would probably not enjoy the rural location of Cornell. The Ivies are remarkably different, and all eight are not going to be a great match for a single applicant. Also keep in mind that there are hundreds of colleges that deliver exceptional educations (in many cases better undergraduate educations) than the Ivies, and many of these schools will be much more accessible. They may also be more affordable since the Ivies do not offer any merit-based financial aid (although they do have excellent need-based aid).   In short, make sure you truly do have good reasons for wanting to attend an Ivy League school, and recognize that failure to get into one is not failure: you are likely to thrive at the college you do choose to attend.

Making Decisions For An Organization - 903 Words

Making decisions is a much more complex process than just trying to figure out whether to do something or not. It often requires more than just a â€Å"Yes† or â€Å"No† answer. The right choices are crucial to an organization in order to address important issues and to produce positive outcomes. Often time’s smaller decisions help figure out the bigger picture. For instance, in the movie The Insider Wigand had to decide whether becoming a whistleblower was worth the threat to himself and his family. Ultimately by the time the movie begins, NBC producer and journalist Lowell Bergman had already made up his mind to expose Brown Williamson. Unfortunately, even he wasn’t prepared for the consequences that followed him and Jeffrey’s decisions. The level of risk taken to challenge big tobacco came with a hefty price for Wigand. The first step in decision making is realizing there is a problem. Wigand came to recognize this in his first meeting with Bergman. Although he decided at that time not to help Bergman with the interview, he was introduced to the problem none the less. By the time the two met again, Wigand had processed the information and begin to seek out more information. He did this by meeting with Bergman and asking a lot of questions. The book suggests Incrementalism decisions require smaller choices made in response to short-term conditions. In Wigand’s case, he made small choices as he went along and as more information was revealed.

Intermediary Determinants of Social Inequalities

Question: Discuss about the Intermediary Determinants of Social Inequalities. Answer: Introduction The social inequality occurs within the society due to unequal distribution of opportunity within the people. There is also unequal distribution of resources among the people of the society. In this report, a textbook of related to the study of sociology is chosen and analyzed along with two peers-reviewed articles, related to the study of social inequality provided in the report. The content of the article is compared to other peer reviewed article of a related topic. The first article for this report mainly focuses on the social structure in the European society, which leads to the inequality among the people of the working class. This social inequality is responsible for the mental stress among the working class people within the working class of the European community. The second article discusses the planning steps that are needed to be adopted in order to reduce social inequality among the children of the European Society, which is necessary improve the health condition of the children. Social Stratification In this book, John J. Macionis and Linda M. Gerber have discussed the social inequality and stratification that exists within the society. The social stratification is one of the major characteristics of the society, which exists due to the unequal distribution of power within the society. The authors began the chapter by mentioning the example of the accident, which took place in the Titanic ship in the year of 1912. More than 1600 people died in the tragic accident. However, on the ship, the first class passengers got better chance of survival compared to the passenger with second class tickets. More than 60% of the first class passengers survived compared to just 36% of the second class passengers. Caste System The authors have mentioned about the caste system in the society in India, which is one of the major examples of social stratification. The caste system also played a major part in the social class of middle age of England, where the people belonging to the aristocrat class have the authority to become the members of the church. Mental Health of Workers In this article, the aim of the research is to investigate the inequality that exists in the society of the employees and the mental well-being of individual depending upon the social class of each. On the other hand, the social class of the individual is judged based on the class scheme provided by the E.O Wright. The mental illness among the patients is created due to the stress that is created among the workers due to the adverse effects of social inequality. Collection of data The researchers have used exclusive form of the secondary data and hence did not require ethical approval. The data of the person whose age is over 15 years are collected and also about the individual wage, which is being collected. The data were collected from 19 different countries of Europe. Mental health and Social inequality The result of the research suggests that the social inequality in the European working class population is responsible for the mental stress among the people. The people working in the higher position like the mangers have better mental health condition of the compared to the unskilled workers. Hence, it is crucial to improving the relation between the individual of a different class of the society. Mental development of young Children The researchers have done a systemic review on the intervention adopted by parents of the European countries in order to improve the health condition of the children by reducing the social inequality. The children belonging from the backwards section of the society is likely to have poor developmental records. PRISMA technique The guidelines for the PRISMA techniques are used in the systemic review. The researchers have used the techniques related to universalism intervention and proportionate study using the electronic search strategy described. The online database source Pub Med is used for this purpose along with the International Bibliography of Social Science. Intervention techniques are applied in the case of using techniques with that of the children. Effective Intervention technique The investigators had identified 23 intervention techniques, from all the articles they have selected. Only one of the intervention techniques is being applied in the society of UK and Ireland. The intervention techniques along with the education of the evidence-practice can help to improve upon the discrimination caused due to the inequality among the parenting care. Comparison of Articles The research work has measured the level of unemployment due to inequality in the society of Spain during the time of economic crisis. The main focus of this research is based on the educational inequality, which affects the mental health condition of the workers. Unlike the investigation in Journal A, where the researchers have focused in on the general aspects of the inequality that exits in the society of the Europe, whereas in the later case the investigators have focused on the effects of the inequality caused by the economic crisis. There are several cases of unemployment caused due to the effects of economic crisis in Spain (Crdoba-Doa et al., 2016). This study also focuses on the effects of social inequality in the Spain, which is unlike the case of the Journal A, where the focus was on 19 different nations of Europe. However, like the other journal, this study also focuses on the mental health condition of the working class people due to the effects of unemployment (Macionis Gerber, 2008). For this study, the cross-sectional method of study was used. The age of the target group for data collection was 19 to 64 years. The Poisson regression methods are also used in this case. The study also concluded that the economic recession was responsible for poor mental health condition among the people. The secondary data has also been in this case, which helped the researcher to compare and analyze the data of that of the previously done research. The conclusion of the research work unlike that of journal A has been able to identify the financial reasons for the poor mental health condition. The research work in the above mentioned article focuses on the importance of social capital aid, which is needed to remove the social inequality among the children and also among well-being of the children and adolescents. Like the area of focus in that of journal B, this article also focuses on the intervention methods needed to improve the mental well-being of children and adolescents caused due to the adverse effects of social inequality. The health inequality is one of the major issues among the children of Europe. There have been several cases of pre-mature death among the children in all over Europe due to poor mental health condition, which leads to poor physical condition. The study has focused on the role of social capital, which gives rise to the social inequality among the children (Veerle et al., 2013). This study is based on the literature review, which is similar to that of the case of journal B. In both the cases, the researchers have reviewed the pervious articles of the relevant topic, which is available in the online databases. The systemic review, in this case, is aimed to focus on the socio-economic status of the individual. The articles published from the USA, Australia was also used along with the journals of Europe. This is unlike the case of journal B, where the researchers have only used the articles published from the European countries. The conclusion of this study suggests that the flow of social capital is mainly responsible for the unequal health status among the individuals. This study has focused on the minority groups of the European community. It is also essential to formulate the European policies, which will help to focus on the relevant issues. Both the studies focus on the importance of social and economic policies, which could help to resolve the problem of social inequality that exists within the various communities. Critical Thinking of the Sociology Text The chosen text provides an unparalleled discussion about the elements, which leads to inequality within the society. The authors have used various examples from the past in order explain the effects of social inequality. The result of the survey, which is mentioned, helps the reader to evaluate the effects of stratification that exists in the society of Canada. The revolution, which took place in the past, which aimed to remove the system of social stratification, has also been mentioned in details in the given text. The authors have used the examples of Russian revolution to explain the importance of social reforms. The text also mentions the various importance theories related to the principle of sociology. However, there is no major link with the theory to that of the social inequality that exists in the community. Nevertheless, the text has helped to generate envision, which helped remove the social inequality. One of the main reasons, for the social inequality that exists in th e society, is due to the financial difference of the people. One of the major positive sides of this article is that it has able to mention the link between the mental health conditions of the people with that of the social class of the people. Thus, the authors have been able to raise one of the essential consequences of the social inequality that exists in the society of Europe. The researchers, however, have used the Wrights relational social class to map the social structure, which is a not very reliable technique. However, the research has been able to highlight the importance of skill within the working class of the society, which is considered to be one of the major causes of social inequality. Hence, with the help of the result of the research work, it is possible to raise the awareness among the people about the importance of improving the skill and thereby help in removing the effects of social inequality (De Moortel et al.,2014). The main positive sides of the above mentioned journal are that it has able to raise awareness about the importance of children health, which gets affected due to the adverse effects of social inequality. The researchers also have been able to suggest intervention measures prevent the effects of health inequality that exists within the society. The importance of educational programs in order to improve the health of the status of the children is also mentioned in the article. The search strategy was one of the effective ways, which helps to include all the major relevant articles related to the research topic. However, one of the major limitations of this research work is that the intervention techniques, which have been suggested, can only be applied to the children in the European society (Morrison et al., 2014). Personal Relevance The vital aspects related to social inequality along with its causes and outcomes have been discussed in the given articles thereby providing in-depth analysis and insight into certain pertinent matters. The issues related to social inequality is still now prevalent thwarting the lives of many either directly or in an indirect manner. Therefore knowledge and information relevant to such topic will enhance our understanding so that the issues about social inequality, exclusion and discriminating attitude may be effectively addressed. Acquisition of knowledge and proper application of the principles, ideas relevant to separate professional competencies on matter related to social inequality will aid in avoiding repetitions of the similar mistakes thereby offering promises for actual practice. In this regard, I firmly believe that the principles of social justice need to be stringently followed and utilized in the professional practice to account for healthier and more potent holistic o utcomes allaying the possibility of differential treatments based on social stratification. The socio-economic disparities in health are the resultant effects of this brimming issue of social inequality. I feel enriched on procuring the relevant knowledge through analysis carried out with the help of social analysis tools. The notion of social segregation depending upon ones earnings and flow of money through valid source of income is the major obstacle on the path of ensuring equitable health and other service accessibility and provision. On knowing from the article content, I feel that any deviation from the desirable egalitarian social structure may culminate in dissents and violent mass uprisings as occurred in several countries prominent through empirical historical evidence. Further, the adverse impacts of the social inequality in conjunction with detrimental health outcomes are intimately related. Hence, I think that promotion of suitable interventional strategies and awarene ss campaigns through education is essential to bring out the optimal results. Healthcare and social justice go hand in hand to cater to the needs of the individuals irrespective of their backgrounds. Social cohesion normally accounts for improved health as well as higher income equality. Professional Relevance Social factors encompass the major determinants of health and form the essence of the health inequality paradigm. Hence, in my opinion, the nursing professionals must endeavor to improvise healthy public policy through advocacy of political actions and strategies. Linking from the matter as discussed in the articles, I also came to know that social inequality is a crucial reason for the generation of stress in people whose income is less compared to their wealthy counterparts. Therefore healthcare facility should take urgent note of this detrimental effect and the health infrastructure; services must be revamped accordingly. Material and lifestyle factors also influence the socio-economic outcomes in the relevant individuals and hence attention is to be paid on the vita contexts of social capital, social support and social exclusion. However all the desirable changes or ideal outcomes cannot be achieved on a singular effort basis, rather a collective initiative from the persons in au thority is indispensable to harbor positive, long-term and holistic outcomes. I feel the nurses may apply the knowledge acquired from these journal articles into their professional practice to obtain better and more holistic results. Conclusion All the above mentioned articles and text have been able to highlight the theories and the effects of the social inequality among the weaker section of the society. The weaker section of the people of the society had to suffer from poor mental health condition due to the effects of social inequality. The unfavorable working condition within the social class causes poor performance of the employees. Both men and women are affected due to the poor working environment in the workplace. The social stratification has been one of the major issues of the human society for several thousands of years. All the above mentioned text and articles have been able to highlight the importance of the theories related to the sociology, which helps to identify the reasons and the effects of social inequality. It also raises the level of awareness among the people about the ways to prevent social inequality that exists in the community of Europe. Reference Crdoba-Doa, J.
