Get into Ivy League?

How likely is it I can get into an Ivy League school?


Ok, I screwed up in High School. I only dreamed of getting into the military and did ONLY the bare minimum to requirements to graduate. I graduated 417 out of 437 in my High School classs and had a 2.34 GPA...





Now fast forward.... due to a life changing event due to a bomb in the face in a desert far far away, I had decided to get back into school. Currently, I'm about to get my Associates degree in Criminal Justice from a community college and I am maintaining a 4.0 GPA.





Suppose I am able to get admitted into a state university's Honors Program and maintain my 4.0 GPA....





How much does this increase the likelihood I could get accepted into an Ivy League school?





Or has my High School self cursed me to the ends of the world?





Would I need to get accepted into an Honors Program at a university to make my chances of getting accepted even believable?

Get into Ivy League?
It's tough to say. In general it's very, very difficult to transfer into an Ivy (and some of them, like Harvard, aren't currently accepting *any* transfers).





Getting into the honors program would help....but by that point you've transfered to a 4-year university, and it doesn't make sense to transfer yet again. There are many, many great schools out there that are not Ivy League that will give you a solid education. If an Ivy is your goal, certainly try, but also apply to other schools.
Reply:If you have your current 4.0 and you have done honors classes and some extra curricular/volunteer work then you should be fine. (I think)
