Hi
This summer I have changed lol and I really want to be able to get into a Ivy League/ Prestigious school in the US.

The problem is that in grade 9 and 10 I slacked off, didn’t care about my future,and ended up with horrible marks…
My grade 9 average would be 80%
My grade 10 average would be 70%

I know, it’s horrible and I regret so much I didn’t try harder in school :frowning:
The thing is that when I actually tried starting this year, my marks are a lot better, and if I can maintain a 96%+ average in grade 11 and 12, would I still be able to intend an Ivy school, or Stanford and similar???

Would they see it as a reform in grade 11 and let it?

I am also in a sport that I have competed at a National level, and also leadership council at school for 2 years so far(not in executive position…yet)

So yeah… I would really love to be at a prestigious university in the US, so if I get really good marks in my last 2 years, would it still be possible??

Financial status is not a problem, not sure if it helps…

Btw, I’m also in CANADA…

Thanks a lot!

The colleges really look at your performance in all of your grades.

Your problem is that other students, who are applying to the ivies, did put it their best efforts and have worked hard during all of their high school years managing sports, academics, work and club participation.

An upward trend is good, but for the ivies, that have limited seats, I think you are out of luck.
