So I did very badly my freshman year, getting a lot of b’s, and a c. However, as a Sophomore, I have a 4.0 Weighted, 3.9 unweighted GPA for the year thus far.
I play piano very well I’m working on some stuff by Rachmaninoff.
I will play on my school’s varsity squash team in the years to come, likely at the 2nd or 3rd position.
I also love to draw, I have a portfolio started.
I also do carpentry for the school productions, I will be a senior manager when a position opens up.
I have lineage of Harvard, my dad went and graduated near the top of his class.
I’m taking 3 AP classes next year, Bio, Gov, and Music Theory.
I am taking 2.5 Honors courses, and 1.5 normal level ones. If I work my tail off over the next 2 years, can I go to a place like Harvard?
Is it too late?
Should I remove Ivy league goals all together?

I am taking half a year of advanced drawing and half a year of honors drawing and art, to explain the .5 stuff.
What are your test scores? And if you have legacy at Harvard then there’s no harm in trying
I would not get fixated on Ivies. Sure you can apply but don’t apply undue pressure on yourself for this goal, please! Enjoy high school, explore interests, develop friendships, work hard but not unreasonably, and you will end up in a good place.
Are you well-informed at all on the choices out there? There are many many great schools out there. Think about your learning style and the atmosphere YOU want.
I always recommend Loren Pope’s books, “Colleges that Change Lives” (also a website and national fairs) and “Looking Beyond the Ivy League.” You might also like a book entitled “Creative Colleges.” Look into liberal arts colleges, and universities, including state ones. Think about size, location, academics, extracurriculars, and “vibe.”
Keep up with the art and music too 
Would you prefer classes that are taught directly by professors? If so, Harvard may not even be a top choice once you educate yourself on schools.
I would also consider my career interests before focusing on Ivies, Harvard in particular. While it is excellent in liberal arts, it might not be a great match if you chose to pursue art, for example. Don’t go for the name blindly. Moreover, the environment at top ranked schools can be extremely stressful. Think about whether this is worth spending the next 6 years of your life under so much stress.
Nevertheless, if you decide you really want to go, don’t give up hope. Don’t expect that you will get in (like no one should), but still apply. If you focus on your grades in the next 2 years and write an excellent application, you may have a shot. Remember, your decision to focus on your education could be a decent essay topic.
Whatever you decide, best of luck!
