I recently found out that a highschools course I took in middle school will be appearing on my highschool gpa. I really want to make a 4.0 gpa for highschool, but these were my grades:
99 A
86 B
95 A
95A
So basically, I would like to know if I could still make a 4.0 with that B ( I really want to go to an Ivy League school like Harvard, and I know they only accept the best of the best aka people with A sand clubs
thanks xx

Before you put a lot of effort into activities which might be unnecessary, talk to the guidance counselor to see where you stand. The counselor can look at your grade history, tell you exactly what you need to do in order to reach the GPA you have in mind, and advise you about steps which will improve your chances for acceptance at an Ivy League school. It's fine to get opinions and take them into consideration, but strangers on "Answers" are not the people who should be guiding you when you make decisions that determine your future. The people you need to seek out are those with actual experience in watching what happens when students apply for college admission (not some fool on "Answers" who talks about "what happened to this guy in my town") and people who can help with the process, such as teachers, counselors, and trusted adult family members who, themselves, have gone through it all.

If you take AP and Honors classes, then your semester/term gpa of +4.25 will balance out that B grade, if that makes sense. If you want to get into an ivy league I suggest you do more than just joining clubs. Do biiiig things that show dedication and commitment. This one boy in my local area received a full ride to several ivy leagues in addition to Cal Berkeley and Stanford, but then again he did a lot of genetic research. My childhood friend is attending an Ivy league in the fall and she did state orchestra for 5 years and was in a national youth government organization. Crazy stuff like that will get you into Ivy Leagues.
Sorry for the excessive info but yeah!
