How much will this affect my chances?

Freshman year - 3.86 GPA (All A’s 1 B)
Sophomore year - 4.0 GPA! (All A’s!)
Junior year (current) - on track to get 3.86 GPA (All A’s 1 B)

EC’s : Model UN Officer, Varsity Soccer, Varsity Track, Red Cross Club Officer, went to Nationals for Spelling Bee, and 100+ community service hours.

Haven’t received results on SAT/ACT yet, but I felt pretty confident when taking the 2 tests.

Now, I am not complaining about my GPA. I am more than proud of my GPA, however, the GPA which I showed was a calculation of my FINAL grades. Our school year is divided up in marking periods (each marking period is 1/4 of the school year). Now in freshman year, in the second and third marking period for biology, I got a C!!! However, my 1st MP and 4th MP grades were strong enough to bring it back up to a B. But I asked my counselor, and the final grades aren’t the only grades shown. Each marking period is shown. How will this affect my chances considering that freshman year is the first thing that the college admission officers see?!

My dream college is Princeton because I live in Princeton, but other target colleges are NYU, Cornell, UCLA, and UMich.

What are my chances in relation to these colleges?

Thank you!
