Do I have any sincere chance at attending an Ivy League University?

I'm Seth, 17 years old from Upstate New York and I want to know if I have any chance at all of attending an Ivy League University because of my very unique and very complicated situation.Here's the story from my first year of HS until now: I started High school at a charter school.I was on the edge of passing or failing pretty much the entire year.(note: this certain charter school does not recognize anything under 70% as a passing grade).With me being as lazy as i was at the time and with the fairly small amount of work I had completed throughout the year it was a surprise that I still had a shot of passing by the time finals came up. Once again, me being lazy, I pretty much failed to do any studying for finals.I can't exactly remember what I got on all of them but I know I had "failed"(under 70%) 3 subjects at the time. I believe they were History, Biology, and Algebra. Now this certain school has a rule that you can attend summer school if you fail 2 less subjects but if you fail more than that you have to write a letter to them explaining why they should retain you as a student, either way you would have to repeat the grade. Now imeediately when my mother got my report card in the mail and told me I had failed with no chance of attending summer school I can describe as falling into immediate depression.(Of course I had been lazy all year and I knew I was being lazy but growing up as a kid I was a natural at pretty much everything I had ever tried.I had heard the words "hard work and dedication" countless times but as far as understanding the concept, Ihad no clue) So during this depression filled summerI pretty much functioned like a robot.I'd wake up, take a shower, and watch tv the entirew day.If I got hungry I ate.That was pretty much it.No interaction with anyone and I can honestly say that outside of answering someone if they had a question I didnt speak to anyone the entire summer.I got many comments about my emotionless facial expression. So my mom actually wrote the letter to the school and they accpted me back.At this point I could care less.There was no way of skipping a grade at this school and in my depressed state of mind I decided that if I'm not graduating the year I'm supposed to(and with my firends)than I could care less if I graduated at all.I planned on dropping out when I turned 18.After telling this to my mom she said that if I followed through that she'd kick me out of the house. So I went through the school year in what was without question the most miserable year of my life.The two things that kept me from thinking about suicide was that 1) I didn't have the sack to even think about it.2)hope for the future. The career I planned on living(professional wrestling) doesnt require any form of academci record.That said, If there was any way for me to get back in my original graduating class I'd jump at it. So I went through the year without a care in the world and failed again.The school kicked me out and I wasn't happy but I wasn't any more mad than I had been the entire year. So in the summer I found an accelerated program that runs through the school district.You can attain your credits as fast as you can past the class and all the work is done individually on computers using the apex learning service. Here's my problem.Outside of the obvious two shipwreck academic years had this new program is just that; a program.It's not really a schoool even though the school district does recognize the diplomna it gives when you finish legit.Also, I hear a lot about AP classes(wich is non-existent in my situation), extra curricular activities(also non-existent), and reccomendations(existent but there are about 2-3 "intructors" at this place i attend). Now I'm currently doing pretty well so far at this place(3.2 gpa so far) and I've developed the work ethic that I never had before but I've already pretty much come to the conclusion that even if i kept good GPA and do well on the SAT that any Ivy League school opportunity for me is around slim to none and probably closer t none but I don't know how the college system works or anything like that so I just wanted some feedback from some people who are older and may have more knowledge on the subject than me and the people around me. Feedback would be much appreciated

1) Honestly, not very likely at all. With so many applicants, colleges sift through admissions with a minimum GPA that they consider. You would also need some strong extracurricular activities. My advice: save your application fee, go to a community college for a year or two (lots cheaper, easier to get your pre-reqs and find out what you like), and then look to transfer.

2) No. I'm sorry. There are so many people from so many places that schools can take. They will not take slackers.

3) Sorry, but no. Not even for Dartmouth or Cornell. Getting into an Ivy League is not easy, even a majority of the AP-loaded applicants with a hundred extra cirriculars are turned down. You need to do something they deem as extra special, there's no formula for getting into an Ivy League school. But there's no reason you can't attend some other college. It doesn't have to be a community college, either. Syracuse and Penn State are pretty good schools, but it's tough to even get into there if we're talking locally. But don't think for a second that going to a Penn State or a Michigan means you had to settle for a "crap school" or anything.
