Need college/job advice

Well, I fucked around a little too much in high school and now I have an 1860 sat score and a 3.3 gpa. Obviously Im not headed to any ivy league schools, so it leaves me to wonder. How difficult is it to break into IB from a semi-target school? Also, what kinds of schools do most PE guys come from and do I still have a chance even if I don't go to a target school? Which side of the fence is preferable? Thanks.
