What does this sentence mean?

I was reading at Tufts' Essays that Worked and one essay had this sentence:

"As a timorous sophomore I set the bar at a height easily achieved, and I could coast through school."

What does that mean?

S/he didn't have very high standards for him/herself as a sophomore and therefore it was very easy to achieve them.
