How should I proceed?

I’m a minority athlete at a target Ivy and am going into my sophomore year with a 3.0 GPA, I want to get recruited for IB but a bad first semester is holding me back, do I have a shot at BB if I can get up to a 3.3 this semester or should I go MM or give up entirely for my sophomore recruiting cycle. Or should I try to pursue some fellowship program to help me out. Need thoughts
