<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>Obviously people got into an Ivy who got a couple Bs. The only positive thing about this is that some Ivies like Princeton do not look at freshman year grades.</p>
<p>unless you’re a recruited athlete or something…probably not</p>
<p>Don’t worry, some don’t even look at freshman year. And if you had all A’s for soph. and jr. year as well as a strong SAT and ECs, then you’ll be competitive for others. However, I would apply to other strong schools like Rice/Northwestern/Emory that are more forgiving.</p>
<p>how come I have seen this as a new thread almost every day?</p>
