Did you blow your senior year of high school grades as well, or just the IB exams? If it was just the exams I can’t see how taking a gap year after high school would kill your chances of getting into a good school, either Ivy or not. Be advised that even perfect grades and stats will not guarantee a spot in an Ivy. Maybe your inspiring application essay of senior year adversity and how you managed to survive it will put you on the “will consider” pile at a few of what you consider “good” schools.
