As you can tell I really figured out what to do my sophomore year and managed to get all A's and just 1 B. </p>

<p>Back to my main question; will my freshmen year screw up my chances of getting into a decent college? I know it is hard to tell without EC's and SAT scores but I haven't taken my SAT yet. EC's are pretty good in my opinion. I guess I could say, how bad will my freshmen year affect my chances of getting into a decent college?</p>

<p>Thanks so much for any info or opinions you can provide!</p>

<p>Your freshman year will be considered, but it wouldn’t at all prevent you from getting into a decent college. The improvement will probably look nice to colleges. Some colleges don’t even look at freshmen year grades.</p>

<p>I would suggest looking at Naviance data for colleges your interested in to figure out the odds with your UW GPA, but they should be fairly kind to you.</p>

<p>Thanks for the info. The D I received really bothered me considering that I have never received a grade that low. I guess I can be thankful that it was in an elective and not one of my core classes. </p>

<p>The improvement looks nice.</p>

5

<p>Just remember not to fail again. </p>

6

<p>Don’t need to remember, just don’t do it. </p>

<p>I’m wondering how you get a D in web design in the first place</p>

8

<p>Not designing webs properly.</p>

<p>I took Web Design 1 in ninth grade, course was structured horribly so I had no idea what I was doing the entire semester. If you look at my sophomore year, you see that I took Foundations of Web Design which is basically the same course except everything is restructured and explained better. </p>

<p>Basically what mrnephew said. </p>
