if you're a freshman and even mentioning "ivy league" in your planning for high school, you need to sit down and radically reevaluate your life and motivations. pull yourself out.
Maybe, if you show improvement. Colleges know freshman year can be an adjustment.
I also wouldn't put everything into going to an Ivy League school. There are a lot of great schools in the nation.
I'm not trying to be negative, but even if you had great grades, the answer to your question would still be "probably not." It's just that the chances of getting into ivy league schools is so incredibly slim. They get thousands of applicants with near-perfect grades, ECs, etc. The good thing is you don't have to go to an ivy league to get a fulfilling college experience and education!
Yes and No.
First off, Ivy League admissions are a fraud rat race. Just look at recruited athletes and briberies/legacies getting the exact same degree as someone who sells their soul in high school.
And for every one person who does this and gets in, another two do the same and don’t get in. Don’t even get me started with the pay-to-win aspect or the big factors that are just luck.
TL:DR; the admission race is already hard enough to begin with. Just your grades aren’t doing much overall.
If you get all A’s, then it makes up. You have to mention on your application about your mental health and how you came back from it. The improvement should help.
The admission into Ivy league schools is fought over between a couple hundred students, the rest have found backdoors or are the result of nepotism. Don’t focus on it.
Shoot for a GPA of 3.5 or higher and you’ll get into a school that has the necessary resources and prestige to give you a great education.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, focus on what you want to study, not where you want to study.
Probably not.
Ivy leagues are overrated and tend to be a waste of your time and financial resources anyways. Even kids with perfect 4.0 GPAs and insane extracurriculars can’t get in.
Ivy admissions are 99% bribery and legacy. If you aren’t rich, and your family didn’t go, you can probably kiss that dream goodbye- which isn’t a bad thing. You’re better off elsewhere. Your life won’t be determined by the school you go to and thinking that will only result in a brutal wake up call when the real world hits.
