Able to go to a half decent school? failed freshman year/ 1/2 of sophomore year

Applying to College

<p>I literally did not try freshman year and I ended up with horrible grades along with the first semester of sophomore year. I'm currently ranked 275/ 701 in an pretty competitive school with a 3.263 unweighted and a 3.553 weighted GPA.
Freshman :
1st semester
Spanish 2: A
AP Human Geo: C
Freshman Physics: B
Math 1: A
9th lit: B
Orchestra: A</p>

<p>2nd
Spanish 2: B
Ap Human: B
Freshman Physics: A
Math 1 : B
9th lit: B
Orchestra: A</p>

<p>4 on the ap exam ( ap human)</p>

<p>Sophomore:
Spanish 3(honors) : B
AP Euro: B
AP World: B
Bio(Honors): B
Math 2: B
Lit( Honors): B
Orchestra: A</p>

<p>Currently, I will get mostly As this semester except for A world which I've already calculated to get a solid B unfortunately and possibly biology but I will study hard to try to achieve that A. I'm inside many clubs such as community outreach where I tutor children. I'm inside my school's Model UN club. I have been playing violin for almost 5 years and I am in my school's top orchestra which has won numerous awards. Along with being in orchestra I'm in my school's chamber music society and I play in a string quartet.</p>

<p>I plan on taking math 3 during the summer but self studying math 3 currently in order to be ahead while I'm doing the summer class along with trying to finish math 3 myself to start pre-calculus during the summer and try to have my dad (doctorate in math) to help teach me calculus AB so I can take the AP Exam next year. </p>

<p>Schedule for next year:
Ap psychology
Ap art history
Ap US history
Ap statistics
AP Lang / Honors lit ( undecided about which I should do )
precalculus
Orchestra
Honors: Chem</p>

<p>Leadership:
Community Outreach
Orchestra Officer</p>

<p>I think I can bring my unweighted GPA up to about a 3.6ish and my weighted gpa to about a 4.1? Do you think I can go into a good college hopefully. I was planning on attempting to become a national AP scholar, I expect to get a 5 on my exams this year. Also I was planning on practicing extremely hard to make All-state next year as well as win an award for Model UN</p>

<p>How do you define “good college”? Your chances are low at Ivy League schools and those of similar caliber, but there are plenty of good schools that will take a 3.6.</p>
