Has anyone got into an ivy league with these grades?

<p>What are my chances to any ivy leagues or any remotely good colleges like Johns Hopkins, berkeley, and Yale? </p>

<p>Freshman year I got two C+'s which made my grades go to a 3.3 for the gpa...
when i average that it with all my grades unweighted...it's only a 4.5 tops, are my chances to any good college gone eventhough my school is extremely competetive and my grades were good for all 3 years except freshman?</p>

<p>And what are good colleges that don't take freshman year into consideration? Do i have better chances to those colleges since my gradesare perfect for the last 3 years?</p>

<p>4.5? Do you mean 3.5? What scale are you working with?</p>

<p>Try schools like Princeton--they don't look at your freshman year.</p>

3

<p>Out of a 5 scale. I don't know how to calculate out of a 4 scale because my school gives 5 scales to honors kids.</p>

<p>Do people get in with those scores get in? Yes.</p>

<p>Do people with those grammatical skiils get in? Doubtful. :/</p>

<p>Yes, I got into Cornell w/ worse grades than yours. I got more C's than that in my fresh year and even a D+. And my grades in the years following were also less than perfect. (Straight C's in AP chem) Colleges look at a lot more than just grades. It depends on how much ECs you do, and how right you are for your major, etc.</p>
