<p>I am a rising sophomore right now, and last year I got 2 B’s. One in Algebra and one in PE (how I got that, I have no idea). Should I still try to get into a Ivy? Or is all hope lost and I should just give up?</p>
<p>No.</p>
<p>You shouldn’t even consider giving up.</p>
<p>If an Ivy is your dream, ignore what anyone else says and go for it. Just make sure you work extremely hard from now on, avoid those Bs at all costs.</p>
<p>However, if an Ivy is not your dream and not going to one wouldn’t crush you, then giving up is up to you.</p>
<p>I know this is terribly clich</p>
<p>Cheeeeer up! I loveee what these people above me said. People have this “thought” that Ivy League students are perfect. Sure, many of them are, but not all of them (: I know someone that got into Columbia and that person had gotten B’s before. Prove that you are Ivy League material by following your dream and not giving up (:</p>
<p>Are you serious?</p>
<p>Two B’s will not kill your app at any school. Especially if one’s in PE.</p>
<p>Apply to whatever colleges you like. You can’t get in if you don’t apply.</p>
<p>The mention of “all hope lost” with regard to getting into an Ivy League college is somewhat troubling. It implies that, for whatever reason, the OP has his/her heart set on an Ivy League school. Not sure why. There are many very good universities out there.</p>
