Well, I'm a second year college student. I have had my share of embarrassing moments, troubling times and I'm not the girl who got all the guys--so at least you'll know my advice is sincere and relatable, not perfect in an imaginary world. Any questions whatsoever are welcome, I'll try my best to answer accordingly.

Okay so I'm usually an 'A' student but 8 months ago my mother died and I've really been depressed for a while. I just started high school (9th grade) and my first semester grades were four B's and three A's. And now I realized that I really need to pick up my grades. I've always wanted to go to Harvard and since everything that has happened...I haven't been paying much attention to school. So if I get all A's for next semester and the rest of my three years do I still stand a chance of getting into an Ivy League school? (link)

I'm sorry for your loss. Getting good grades is of course important to an Ivy League school, but remember it is not the only thing they look at. They also look at involvement, your SAT scores, the kind of interview you give, and probably some other factors. As long as you work hard, and are very well rounded... you should stand a chance.
Good luck. =]
