Will there be a possibility for me?
I had a similar problem when I was in high school. While the mistakes you made in 9th grade will, unfortunately, effect your transcripts, it is far from too late for improvement. Start looking in to more AP classes and stay involved in 2 or 3 extracurricular activities. Be sure, however, to not over do it. It is better to excel in 2 or 3 AP classes than it is to get C's in 6 AP classes just as it is better to devote your time to a few clubs and teams and possibly become president or captain than it is to be an inactive member in 10 different clubs. If you remain focused for the rest of your time in high school I have no doubt you can achieve anything wish for. At the same time, remember you are in high school and what ever you choose to do have fun while you do it. Even if you don't end up at MIT there is always graduate school and many opportunities to find a successful career. You're young and have realized you need to straighten out way before most people do. Never be discouraged. Your ambition is your biggest asset, bigger than any level of intelligence you may have.
