Do I Have Have a Good Chance of Getting into an Ivy League school even with one 79?

I'm currently a freshman in high school, but when I was in 8th grade, I took Honors Geometry at the high school and I got a B first semester but then a 79 the second semester. This year, I've gotten mostly A's and I have one B right now in an Honors class. But I'm not taking an honors math course this year.I'm in several clubs (have about 65 or so hours of community service from this year), yearbook, etc. I plan to join more clubs next year but I'll dedicate myself to a couple. I play violin but I'm not in my school's orchestra. I take dance classes outside of school as well.This summer I'll volunteer at a college laboratory and then travel to a third-world country on some program. Also SAT prep classes.My school's really competitive so I don't know how my GPA measures up in comparison with the other students. My dream school has been Harvard since elementary school. Did that 79 really kill my chances of Ivy League? Also will it look bad cause I'm not in honors math anymore?No more room!Please give me honest answers. And tips/suggestions would be helpful.Oh, and next year I'll take one AP class and 3 other honors classes, junior year I'll take 6 AP classes, and senior year I'll probably take 5 APs. I'm taking yearbook all 4 years & one foreign language all 4 years too.
