The Secret of Why You Will NEVER Get Into an Ivy League School
https://archive.ph/9Lkbd#selection-571.51-575.52
While getting into a good high school will certainly greatly boost your chances, this article does leave out a lot of stuff.
I did some investigation and figured out how to boost your odds to over a 75% chance of getting into Harvard, Standford, or Yale.
If there is some interest in this thread, I'll release The Secret of Why You Will NEVER Get Into an Ivy League School Part 2 and disclose the real secrets. Then, we'll dive deeply into what it really takes to get into these Ivy League Schools.

Well there's this sort of thing

I knew a guy once who wanted to go to Harvard but didn't get in. He went to Colgate for 2 years and then reapplied to Harvard as a Freshman. He was admitted to Harvard as a Freshman. They transferred none of his credits and he had to start all over again from the beginning but he got his Harvard degree. If you're guessing that he was rich then you'd be right. The money wasn't a problem for him. He had to get really good grades at Colgate to prove that he could do the work at Harvard. The references were a big deal too.

There's always good old Harvard Extension, Penn LPS, etc.
Also, the easiest way to get into an Ivy is through their masters programs. Way easier to get into Harvard's graduate school of education than Harvard college.

I think you might be right. There are only four types of degrees offered but I'll bet that it would be possible to transform a PhD in Education into something impressive.

I know several people who transferred into an Ivy League school. I think a few went from straight from high school as well. Cornell is NYS's land grant institution so there are some colleges that have a different admissions standard lower tuition. I know several people who've attended Cornell.
