For an Ivy League school, getting even a couple B's is very dangerous. Simply because other applicants will have straight A's. Although it is not impossible to make it in with a C, it will greatly decrease your chances - EVEN if it is an AP class. Work at improving your grades (straight A's from now on) and find many extra curricular activities. Killer essay would help, too.

It all depends on where you go to school. If you're going to a really good high school like the North Carolina School of Science and Math, or Thomas Jefferson, the chances are still alright, but from anything less, you're probably out of luck.

No

* You can, in fact, still make it to college. Can you make it to the most competitive, probably not. Still though, if you only messed up one year and do exceptionally well the next two years, I don't see how you won't make it to a great college.

The ivy league colleges take a 'holistic' approach to admissions. There is no formula and no cut-offs for getting in, and therefore, it is possible to get in with A's and B's.

If you find yourself in this situation, focus on solid, personal essays and any 'hooks' you have (URM, first generation college student, etc). Do your best on the SAT and/or ACT, and focus on community service you have done or jobs/internships you have had. Get recommendations from teachers that know you well, and don't slack off senior year. Write a resume and describe your activities. If you are in band, don't just say so. Describe what you do there and what leadership roles you have (section leader, won a competition, etc).

Sometimes. They do look back. It doesn't affect anything.

If you were to take multiple extra curriculars and join athletic teams, then yes, it is possible.

Absolutely, it all counts and you still have two years to go and remember you did well in some of your classes so that helps a lot too.
