Hi, so I’m a first year at Emory and i just got my grades… I wasn’t completely happy with them

my first semester GPA ended up being 3.1 and I was wondering if this is considered decent or poor…

Here’s a breakdown on the classes I took and the grades i received:
Ceramics(For a GER): A-
Chemistry: C-
Freshman Seminar: A
Life Science calc: B

I was planning on majoring in some life science and going premed with that, but halfway through the semester i decided that i want to do economics (i took a college class over the summer and found it interesting). I’m either thinking of teaching(college), business, or corporate law as a career path now and I was wondering if anyone could give an evaluation of how i did my first semester!

also how my first semester GPA would affect me, assuming i have an upward trend GPA-wise until i graduate, applying to top grad, business or law schools…and med school if i end up staying on the pre-med track

THANKS!
