Is an environmental engineering degree out of the question?

Alright, so I’m attending the University of Washington this fall. It’ll be my first year there, but I did running start my senior year of HS already. I took Calc 1, 2, and 3 while there and had some problems. Mainly personal ones, but I also was given terrible teachers and lost focus on my work. I got a 2.0, a 2.6 and a 2.3 in each, respectively. I’m taking Intro to Chem, Diff Equations and European lit in the fall. My question is, will I have a shot at environmental engineering in a couple of years when I apply, or is it too late because of my low math scores? Also, I got a 3.1 in mechanics physics and a 3.5 in optics.

Also, what else should I focus on besides working to get my grades higher during the school year? Should I join any clubs, find internships, etc? Or is it better to just focus on my grades.

Thanks.
