<p>Some schools (Stanford?) don't even consider freshman grades. I don't see why lacking them should be a problem, since your later grades are so good.
I think you need to raise your SAT I scores to have a good chance at your reaches. Try the ACT?</p>

<p>ACT... isn't it a little too late? I believe the last one is Dec. 9 and the deadline is Nov 19...</p>

<p>I think Ivy League is maybe a bit high considering your SAT 2 Subjects and SAT scores. You have no sports and I doubt you are fluent in any of the languages you said because you didn't take any SAT Subject tests for them. It's a bit late to have an art elective as well, it looks like you're just trying to fill a requirement or look like you like art. Your English and World History seem down and Asians need those to be high especially writing. Not taking AP Enlgish Language in Junior year wasn't probably a good idea.</p>
