<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>While I don’t know anyone with straight B’s freshman year who got in, I know students (myself included) who have received Bs and were admitted. At this point you can’t change it. But you have an upward trend - go ahead and apply to a few reaches, making sure to focus on your unique characteristics and why they should pick you over someone with a 4.0. Of course include safeties in your list. Good luck!</p>
