Did I dig a hole to deep?

I suggest getting your act together now and getting as many As in advanced/AP classes from here on out. You will need to work your butt off, but you still have a chance. A positive grade trend will help. At the same time, I’m not an admissions officer, so I don’t want to give you false hope.

When it comes time to apply, I suggest explaining why your grades were low your freshman year, especially if there was an issue at home (i.e. finances were very tight, death or illness in the family, etc.) that affected your academic performance.

It doesn’t hurt to apply, but you need to get your act together. Make sure you get involved in extracurriculars that are meaningful to YOU as well.
