2.48 freshmen first semsester gpa bad?

<p>i got a 2.48 for my fall freshmen semester grades, is this bad?
i am thinking of transferring out of my current university and if i obtain a 3.8-4.0 gpa for the spring semester, would colleges like that?
because there would be gradual improvement..</p>

<p>i am very stressed out about my first semstser grades
and i was just wondering how important they are for grad schools and such.</p>
