Will these grades impact my chances of getting into a good university?

Question

I wanted to go to an ivy league, but I feel like I've lost all hope in that aspect. But anyways, I'm a freshman, and my grades are as follows:
10H English - B+
10H Global History - A+
9H Biology - B or B+
10R Math - A
French 10H - A
Orchestra - A
I also do fencing, which I plan on continuing through high school. I'm in a local volunteer club, French club, and an environment club. Next year I plan on volunteering abroad. My grades are rather inconsistent, and I don't know how to change that. I used to be one of the top students in my class, but everything's just been going downhill. My brother goes to Princeton, and everyone has high expectations for me. I also had high expectations for myself. But I don't know... am I on the right track, what do I do to change, etc?

Answer 1

thats what a 3.8something GPA, your a freshman, your doing fine. Keep the grades up and get good scores on the SAT's and those test and your golden.

Answer 2

Those grades are definitely not good enough. You should start looking at some of the "lesser" schools, such as NYU.
