It would be ideal, but if you showed steady improvement throughout your four years, or a bumpy freshman year and all "As' after that, I think it could still work out for you. They'll want to see that you've taken a rigorous course load (honors, APs), that you've handled them well, that you have good SAT scores, SAT II Subject test scores, solid extracurriculars, community service, letters of recommendation, etc.
Cornell is the least difficult of the Ivies to get into, but it's still not easy.
Good luck to you!

Remember, though, although Cornell is the "easiest" Ivy League school to get into, it is also the HARDEST of the Ivies in terms of academics...So don't let that notion take away from the prestiege of the University. Also, when people point out that it is the easiest to get into, you have to recognize that they are the largest of the Ivies, so they have more room for people. So, while Brown might take in 1000 freshmen (if that), Cornell has room for 3050!

A part of the answer depends on if you are going to one of the state schools at Cornell and/or when you got lower grades (freshman it is better than sophmore and junior.

Yes, but that's not all that you need. You need good extracirriculars and community service. One girl in the graduating class couldn't get into Cornell with just a 5.0, unfortunately.
