Is it possible to get into an Ivy League college if you didnt do?
It's possible, but not very likely because a 1.75 and a 4 and another 4 average out to 3.25. You can make a case about why your first year was not great and how you have learned from that experience. But, please know that, even if you had a 3.95 GPA, an Ivy League admission is not guaranteed. Your recommendation letters, SAT scores, subject SAT scores, leadership activities, contributions to society, personal statements, etc. need to be great as well. How are you doing on all those? Those will make a significant difference.
