Hi. I am from India and I am 16 years old. I recently started my 11th grade. I did not get much good grades in 10th grade. I got 92 in English(language), 90 in Assamese (language), 71 in Social Studies, 68 in Math, and 65 in Science. I got less marks in maths and science even though they are my favorite subjects. I did not get good grades and the reason is not because I'm bad at those subjects but it's because i did not study well. I have all the basics clear, but I did not practice well. Till 9th grade, I scored pretty good in Maths and Science but I messed it up in 10th. My subjects in 11th grade are Physics, Chemistry, Maths, Informatics Practices, Physical Education and English. I really want to get into an ivy league and study aerospace but I don't really know how to prepare for it. I don't know what to do and what not to do. I have 0 extracurriculars till now. Money is a factor too. My dad is gonna retire in a year and he is the only person who earns in our family. His income is about 11.5 lakhs per annum. After he retires, he'll get pension but he'll get like half of what he earns right now. I have a brother too and he's doing his masters so he isn't working and can't earn. I really want to get into an ivy. Is it too late to start now? Can y'all please help.
