Is it possible to get into an Ivy League if you start preparing at age 16?

So, I’m two years behind, and I’m an international student. My chances are already slim, but my family won’t be able to cover all the expenses either, which lowers my chances even further. But I’m a quick learner, and I’ve heard about things like modafinil and Adderall. I’ve also heard of mnemonic techniques like the Memory Palace. And then there are the money-making opportunities so I can save up for college and prove myself as a leader, a project creator, and maybe even a researcher. All of this should improve my chances. Please advise me on specific steps to take. What do you all know? I’m thinking of getting into the field of quantitative finance. How do I break into it? What’s the best nootropic stack to start with? What else should I consider? Aside from mnemonic techniques and nootropics, what else helps with learning?

the chances are indeed slim as most students you will be competing with especially international prepare for that their whole life. however you don't need to graduate an ivy to have a high paying job. what really matters is the degree you choose.
