you DEFINITELY need to address this in your essay. your story is VERY inspirational and it will really resonate with the committee (tell them what you told us)

be confident and aim high–you may get rejected from harvard but so do tons of 4.0 students, you never know if you don’t try. as i said before, princeton and stanford would happily take you because they ignore freshman grades–actually in your situation id say it would STILL help to tell those colleges about your freshman grades because your turnaround was that great. you made up for your low achievement by going above and beyond–even straight A students don’t take summer community college courses and 5 extra online classes
