no matter how high your grades and SAT scores It is no longer enough to work hard and get good grades. If you have light skin, meaning you are white, it will be next to impossible for you to ever get accepted to any Ivy League school.
Kaitlyn Younger learned this the hard way after the senior at McKinney High School near Dallas scored a 1550 on her SATs as a junior. Younger also expects to graduate this spring with an unweighted 3.95 grade-point average, and yet was not accepted to any of the top schools at which she applied.
Younger founded her school’s accounting club; performed and directed in about 30 school plays; sang in the school choir; scored top marks on every test she has taken so far for 11 advanced-placement classes; and helped run a summer camp while holding down a part-time job – and all of this was still not enough.
“She is extraordinary,” said Jeff Cranmore, Younger’s guidance counselor.

25% of all Ivy League students are Jewish, maybe more.
