It is fairly common, especially for boys. Many schools will appreciate your upward trend if you take challenging courses, especially if you get good test scores. Maybe not Harvard, but many will. Besides, your freshman scores aren’t that bad!
Carnegie Mellon does not consider 9th grade grades at all. They recalculate your GPA for grades 10-12. They understand you :-)
