Can I get into an Ivy with straight B's Freshman Year?

<p>Can I get into an Ivy or as good a school with straight B's Freshman Year? I didnt get any other B's the rest of HS. Can I still get it since I had this upward trend? My overall GPA is still high. Do you know anyone who didnt get A's and got into an Ivy?</p>

<p>Depending on how good your SATs/ECs are, you still have a very good shot. There are many good schools (I’m not sure about the Ivies) that don’t even look at freshman year grades, like Stanford.</p>
