Get into Ivy League?

I have outstanding extracurriculars and community service, wrote great essays, and had a nice interview. I am full of character, took 3 SAT IIs, 13 APs, and scored well on everything (above 700, above 4, respectively). My SAT is 2250. I took six Harvard extension classes and did some summer programs. All of my ec's relate to the things I want to major in and unify my application with a few goals.



My GPA is a 2.0, though. Hear me out. I'm one of the smartest students at my school. I got straight As in 9th, 11th, and 12th grade. If it was just those, myGPA would be a 4.3. I failed all of my classes during 10th grade because of severe depression. I never showed up to class because of personal problems.



Teachers gave me great recommendations and my counselor wrote a leter explaining my grades. Will Ivy League schools forgive this? I homeschooled to make up the classes I missed, but my new grades are only added to the F;s on the transcript. I want to go to Yale.

Get into Ivy League?
Yale would be really tough. Write a really good essay with your application explaining how your depression affected your grades. However, Yale is top of the top.
