An increasing GPA over time will help some. A strong SAT will help some.

The past is over. You need to focus on what you can do now. There are two things that you can do: Work very hard this year, keep ahead on your work and get strong grades for this year of high school. Also, come up with a realistic list of match and safety schools. I do know people who started off a lot worse and ended up pulling it together and doing very well.

It is probably too late for you to consider Ivy League or equivalent schools for undergrad. However, there are a lot of very good universities that you can still get accepted to if you have a strong year this year.
