College Life

<p>i want to go to a top 10 law or public policy school </p>

<p>my first sem grades at a top 25 public school are a 3.0 gpa</p>

<p>i feel like i must get straight A's second sem because im already in a hole when these grad schools want 3.7+ gpa</p>

<p>In a word, no.</p>

<p>Your first semester freshman year grades are not going to kill your hopes of going to a good graduate school.</p>
