<p>These schools all are high reaches, Ivies reject even qualified applicants. With B’s its quite hard to get in. Unless you show an upward trend. You have figure skating which is an unusual sport which may help. You could make your essays amazing and have that WOW factor that makes them remember you. But don’t make excuse for your bad grades. Show your good sides. If you know which major you want, you could look at schools that are good for it and apply there. Some schools may have an excellent department for your major and be okay as a school which will make it easier for you to get in. </p>
<p>Also keep some other back up schools in case, ALL these schools are extremely competitive and reject qualified applicants. </p>
