Does the grades i got in 9th grade matter?

<p>When i first joined an international sql (which was when iw as in 9th grade), i wasnt accustomed to english environment and people who only spoke in English.
Therefore, my grades i got in 9th grade are horrible…
But from 10th grade, i studied a lot and managed to get honor roll for the whole year.
I m in 11th grade now and i m aiming for Ivy league sql…
Also i was one of the 4 people who got honor roll this semester in 11th grade.</p>

<p>But my college counselor says that it’s going to be almost impossible
becuz my grades i got in 9th grade are really important…</p>

<p>I really want to do my best…
and i want to accomplish my dream…</p>

<p>but even before i can give my best, the college counselor said it’s impossible…</p>

<p>Please help me and tell me if it’s really the truth…</p>

<p>Yes, the grades you earned in the 9th grade matter.</p>
