This is an excerpt from the Ivy League Roadmap, if you’d like to read the full book, you can buy a copy here.

What You’ll Learn:

  • What factors get you INTO an Ivy, and which ones keep you OUT.

  • How a Passion Project will help you stand out.

  • Why Ivies aren’t impressed by a 4.0 GPA.

How do you stand out? Figure out what the herd is doing, then do the opposite.

The vast majority of Ivy League applicants are smart, hard working students who did exactly what their teachers asked of them. They think they’re going to stand out by having a 4.1 GPA instead of a 4.0. If that’s you it’s going to be VERY hard to get in. Ivies want you to go beyond what was asked of you. They want you to be different.
