<p>ok so I have always been passionate about going to a top-tier, or ivy league school, and I know it's one of my parents dreams for me. This isn't going to be a long, detailed analysis of my life and academic history but I have two questions:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>I born in another country, and immigrated here when I was 3, and can speak the country's language fluently and it's a small country in Europe, so I guess it's considered little known. Will that help my chances at all of getting admitted to an ivy league school, or my top choice stanford?</p></li>
<li><p>I decide to to to a private catholic school freshman year, but transferred out of it this year(sophomore year) and will be starting my sophomore year at my competitive city's very good public high school. I have alaways been a straight a student, and in gifted program which means I was accelerated in every class in middle school and took pre algebra 6th grade, algebra 1 7th, geometry 8th, and algebra 2 my freshman year, so I am above most kids my age. Now at this school for various reasons I ended up with a D in algebra 2 and a c in honors bio. All my ther grades were As, and I intend to never let anything like this happen again and to have straight as my next 3 years. But do these two horrible grades diminish any likelihood of being considered at an ivy league school?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>please and thank you for any answers!</p>
