I am sorry, but no, you will not get to a 4.0 unweighted by end of junior year, not if you must average in your freshman year grades.

You will probably not be eligible to take all those AP and honors classes your school offers for another year or so. Our high school requires a B+ average to stay in an honors class or to level up to an AP the next year. Check your high school handbook for school specific rules and requirements.

I would take level-appropriate classes. Do your best in them. Develop a better work ethic. An upward trend in grades can look good too. You can’t afford to go all in on honors-level classes and have another year like the one you just had. As it is, if you can show that upward trend, you will be able to get in to 3,000+ colleges and universities. They won’t be ivy league level, but you will still get an excellent education.
