So my first semester of 10th grade did not go very well. I took 3 Honors courses and did not do well in all 3 of them I took Sophomore English Honors and I tried to raise my grade to at least a B- , but I ended up getting a D+. I took Algebra 2 Honors and I was doing pretty good in that class, but I screwed up in the tests/quizzes and ended up with a D. I also took Chemistry Honors and I ended the semester with a 71% in Chemistry. I got good grades in other classes, though. I got my report card today and it said that I have a 2.4 GPA. I got a 2.9 GPA in my freshman year, but now, its even lower. So my question is, do I still have a chance to go to a good college? I want to go to MIT, Stanford, or University of Illinois. I’m very scared and depressed because of this. I’ve never got these kind of grades in my life. I dropped my English Honors class and I’m now in a regular English class because that course was too much. I want to end this school year with at least a 3.0 GPA. Do I still have a chance? My dream is to become a computer programmer at Microsoft, but it seems like this isn’t going to help.
If you dropped English Honors because it was “too much”, maybe MIT isn’t your best match.
School work in high schools are nothing compared to college work.
As for your dream, it still is possible. Regardless of what college you get into, just don’t repeat your high school mistakes. Work hard in your future math/programming classes (not that you shouldn’t work hard in other classes as well).
Good luck 
Microsoft has been known to hire programmers from schools other than Stanford, MIT and Illinois.
Honestly, unless you unusual circumstances or something stellar, I’d start padding up on safety schools.
The fact is, many competitive schools are competitive not just because of the name, but because of the rigor. If you can’t pass high school classes, odds are you will not do well in many of their classes. That’s why admissions officers want to see the A’s and B’s; not just for the sake of it, but also to see that you are prepared. No one wants to let in a kid who won’t be able to handle it because that is setting them up for failure and is just cruel.
Some people just can’t handle it all, and that’s ok. At the end, you can take a slightly slower path (possibly start at a state school then transfer somewhere) and odds are you will still end up in a good spot for employment. JustOneDad was right in saying that programmers come from all over the country and world, not just certain schools.
The schools you listed will want to see AP classes in your junior and senior years. Next semester take a step down and get great grades (A’s and B’s) to bring up your GPA. Over the summer see if you can handle some APs, if not, start looking at your instate or less competitive schools.
Overall your chances aren’t completely shot, but you need to hunker down and get your grades up, especially for junior year. An upward trend is the best thing for you right now. And once again, pad up on safety schools.
Also remember that you can always transfer to a more competitive school from an instate college or for a graduate program.
Good luck and study hard!
