I don't think there is any one thing to do. Here are some things to do:\n\nGet very good grades in high school.\nGet high scores on the SAT or ACT.\nHave a well-rounded high school career--do some community service, participate in leadership activites, and participate in school organizations.\nEmphasize your talents and gifts in academic and/or social domains.\nWrite a well-crafted personal statement that explains who you are and why you would be a good fit for the college.\nGo visit the college and talk to the admissions officers about the school.\nIf you know someone who went to the ivy league schools that you want to apply to get them to recommend you.\n\nHope this helps.

first you got to get into something your really good at in school or something. next the teacher for instants sees you doing good in that subject and when you apply for collage you put it on a resume and the teacher might call the school and be a witness of verification for you. they the college accepts you and you get a scholarship. like for instance I have a scholarship in forensic science

In addition to Cornell's website, check out http://www.princetonreview.com/. Also check out the new US News and World Report magazine. \n\nIt's possible to get in, but it is competitive. Depends on your major, too. \n\nThink high 600's on each SAT section, a GPA in the top 10% of your class. \n\nIf you need financial aid, get your stuff together early, fyi. Also visit first. This place is cold. You can contact Cornell and get hooked up with a alumnus good for a chat.

There's  no such  thing as a generic "best college."    You need to find a college that is (1) accredited,  (2) has  the degree/major you are looking for, (3) is in  a  location you're interested  in, (4) provides the learning  environment and class-size you prefer, (5) has a solid reputation for producing  quality, degreed students, (6) has good connections and visibility in the field in which you wish to study and work, and (7) offers the services  (housing, medical, other) that you will need to enter and remain in school to earn your degree.\n\nIf college selection is an issue for you, visit with your high school counselor, a college admissions counselor, or an independent education consultant near you.

Take the most difficult classes your school offers.  It is a big deal for students to use the resources that are available to them.  (If your school only has one AP class, for example, they don't fault you for that, but they want you to take it.)  \nIt is better to be very involved in a few extracurricular activities that you are passionate about than ten clubs that you are only sort of involved in and pay dues for.  \nThey want you to take initiative.  Start something new or add a new dimension to an existing cause or club.  Take a class at a local college through joint enrollment.  Take the SAT several times to achieve a good score if you have a low one.  Take an SAT prep class if you are not confident.\nThe bottom line is to differentiate yourself from other applicants.  They get thousands of applications from people with good grades and scores who joined the honor society and the community service club at school.  Go above and beyond.  Community service is more important than having a part time job by the way.\nThe hardest thing about Harvard is getting in.  Good luck!  .\n\nThis stuff applies to getting in to any school really.  Apply to more than one place!  College is what you make of it.  You can have a great experience at a lot of different places.

The good news is that a number of Ivy League schools accept students on a "Need Blind" admissions basis.  This means that they will admit you into the school based on your abilities, but not on your ability to pay.  They have good financial aid packages that are mostly grants (you don't have to pay them back) and a little bit of loans (you will have to pay these back).  \n\nSo, I think your best bet is to focus on working hard in high school on your grades and extra-curricular activities, and rely on the financial aid system of the top Ivy League schools.\n\nGood Luck!

You don't actually pay to get in to Princeton.  The $42,000 is tuition.\n\nOfficially, you cannot PAY to obtain entrance to an Ivy League School.  (Although the elder Bushes might dispute that point...)

1) You can go to a good college and get into any program except for any honors program.\n2) Colleges look at your 10-12 grade year grades, your SAT score and references. \n3) Yeah, well if your GPA is above a 3.0. If your essay is good enough and you have great references. \n4) You can get scholarships whenever. If the scholarship is from the school then you should try at the begging of each semester.\nTry fastweb.com also apply for FAFSA\n5) I so wished I would have gone to a community college first. Some people think that it's crazy, but it's beneficial if you have problems in high school and want to continue your education. You can transfer to WHATEVER university you want to after you graduate community college, if your grades are good.\nIt's also good if you don't feel as if you're ready for a big university with classes full of students and want to start out small.

Every university and college has different admission procedures for non-traditional students. \n\nDo research into the admission requirements at the schools that you would like to attend. Do this well ahead of time. If the requirements are not obvious on their website, call the admissions office and ask them what they require for non-traditional/alternative student admissions.\n\nThe teens that are currently working towards college admission, tend to focus heavily on their SAT scores, admission essay, extra curricular activities, volunteer/work experience, community college experience and community involvement. Usually, colleges will want to see either grades from a CC or a non-parent led class, and possibly recommendations from an outside teacher or community leader.\n\nBut overall, homeschooled teens have the same chance of getting into college as traditional students. They have to jump through different hoops, but their candidacy is not hindered by their alternative education status (with a few exceptions of universities that are not homeschooler friendly. Usually these are state schools). \n\nSo, if you are a homeschooler and you are thinking of going to college, I would recommend doing your research early, and realizing that if you don't get in as a freshman, you can take CC classes and enter as a sophomore. Homeschoolers know that there is always a way, if we just keep looking.\n\nGood luck!

Get into MIT, they have lots of financial aid for you!\n\njk, appart from that, apply to scholarships. Go to www.fastweb.com and sign up there. You will find scholarships you can apply to. If you get into an ivy college or an elite one, they'll give you financial aid.

Try to go to the website of that college; I am sure that you could chat with any body from the student association. This may be what it gets your foot in the door; once you arrive, any of them could introduce you to what you need to know.

There are too many colleges and universities out there to tell you which school you should attend.  There are many questions that you need to ask yourself when choosing a college (location, size, majors, weather, etc.)  \n\nCollegeboard has a great College Matchmaker program that allows you to pick your preferences and then you'll get a list of all of those that fit your preferences:\n\nhttp://apps.collegeboard.com/search/adv_typeofschool.jsp\n\nHopefully this will give you an idea of what schools you would like.  Also, before you make your final decision, try to visit any school that you are thinking about... the people that work at that particular university will tell you have great it is and the pictures are going to be beautiful.   However, you'll never know if it is the right school for you until you step on the campus.  All campuses do campus tours... you just need to call the Admissions Office at each university that you're interested in.\n\nGood luck!
