Hm…I still have my Junior + Senior year left. So I should go through it all and work my grades up?

The reason my GPA is low is because I transferred in from another school with lower standards. As such I took on all the difficult courses and skipped a level of math and french which resulted in extremely low grades at first (C, B-) for those. Those were the things that pulled my GPA down. Would colleges take that into account or would they just assume that I wasn’t working hard? The truth is, my GPA is low because I was working hard to catch up with the rest of my peers in terms of level of the subject…
