If there were outside circumstances causing these grades (illness, death or divorce in the family), you’ll definitely want to explain this in your college essay or something. Definitely strive for straight As, and the toughest course load you’re capable of. Find something or things you’re passionate about, whether, artistic, athletic, community service, academic clubs, etc. and devote everything to it. Passion is good. found a club or organization, be a president, fundraise, do something to make you stand out. and definitely consider school like the UCs (and I know there are others) that don’t consider freshman year in their application process. but you can still apply to these other schools, you never know what will happen. good luck!
