Ivy League universities refers to U.S. elite university association including Harvard, Penn, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Dartmouth, Brown and Cornell.
All these eight top universities are renowned for their long history and fine tradition of scholarship. The graduates have reached great achievements in science, politics and business globally.

Each year, many students with outstanding academic performance, such as full SAT/ACT score, are rejected by Ivy League universities, since these elite universities pay as much attention on students’ extra-curriculum activities, community service and critical thinking.
Therefore, students need to cultivate the potential, develop interest and get more involvement in social activities to polish themselves for Ivy League universities' application.
