Hard to say. Becuase for an ivy school, everyone will have done great in all their years.

You need to have lots of leadership, volunteer hours, extracurriculars, crazy good SAT, SATII, ACT and a good application essay.

Put it this way. Maybe you have a shot. But consider that there are perfect 4.0 students who have rocked the SAT and still not have gotten in.

Work hard, or you're not going to get what you want.

It depends on how bad you were doing freshman year, and how good you were doing 10-12th grade. Honestly, for college admission the most important grades are tenth - first semester of 12th grade. But, it matters a bit. Ivy Leagues don't just look at grades though, they also look at SAT/ACT scores, volunteer experience, extra curricular activities, and it also helps if you're related to an employee/alumnus. Yeah, so it's possible, just hope everything else is enough.

Maybe, what groups are you involved in, do you volunteer. what was your score on you sats. also have great letters of recommendations and a excellent letter of why you want to attend the school and what your major will be. It all helps.
I had a bad 9th, 10th, and half of 11th but ended up with strait A's to finish up with. I was involved in extra curriculum activities and the teachers knew I could do the work. I ended up getting accepted to every college I applied to all 4 yr and out of state colleges. But none were Ivy league. Good luck

With each "bad' score you lower your chances.

Try community service (volunteering). Talk to your teachers as to ways to get your grades up. Talk to Ivy League counselors for advice.

Research and write a good entrance essay. Admit and explain about your freshman year then highlight your achievements and why you want to be a student there and why you will do well and benefit by going there. No one is infallible.

Sure, colleges will see your progress. It's also important to have extracurricular activites and social service. After grades, they really look at those kinds of things.
