I’m so tired of hearing this. Is this really how you’re supposed to vouch for the fact that you’re a “good student?” Middle school was a complete and absolute joke. Non-AP classes are a complete joke. The only AP class you’ve taken so far, you’ve gotten a C. You know what this tells the Ivies? That you’re not ready for high level college work. IMO, this, when coupled with a bad freshman year, means you have no chance for the ivies without a major hook.</p>

What? Were you sandbagging for the last two years? Everyone who’s not an idiot attempts straight A’s. The question is can you get them…judging from your previous work, you can’t. School doesn’t get easier, it gets harder. Go figure. Unless you’re going to magically get smarter, the work is only going to get more difficult and more time consuming and you’ll probably do worse. Just my prediction.</p>
<p>That said, you can still get into a decent school by normal people’s standards.</p>
