Does being a Veteran help your chances on college admissions??

I’m curious if anyone has any ideas on this. I’ve heard a lot of good news for veterans, like vets with poor high school grades getting into good schools such as Northeastern, but what about transfers? See, I had decent grades in high school, 3.34 with honors and ap courses, tons of EC in high school, but my first semester of college was poor. I had a 2.12 in Fall 07, I bumped it up to a 3.25 for the spring semester, and I took a summer semester while in the military in the summer of 09 and had a 3.7. My total GPA is 2.94.

Does anyone know how much that first college semester four years ago will affect me? As a vet, will a 2.94 overall college GPA suffice for Northeastern?
