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>A lot of schools will forgive a mediocre freshman year if the rest of your HS career is excellent.</p>
<p>Did you stop taking Spanish? That could be a red flag, unless it’s simply not available to you.</p>
<p>What is your definition of a “decent” college?
Do well in your SATs and essays and you’ll be a strong enough applicant for your state flagship, unless we’re talking about UC Berkeley (extremely competitive - I’d still encourage applying) or UT Austin outside of the top 7% (which is a gamble).</p>
<p>Spanish is very difficult to learn through virtual school considering the teachers are hard graders and the information through the lessons aren’t very detailed. I received C’s both semesters of Spanish 2 in virtual school. When I was in public school, I took Spanish 1 and received an A and a B. I was debating about taking Spanish 3 but parents/guidance counselor advised me that it was not a necessity. I also figured that since I didn’t do so great in Spanish 2, I was going to have a hard time managing decent grades in Spanish 3. </p>
<p>Decent college to me would be UCF (University of Central Florida) or UF (great school in my opinion) but probably is a long shot considering admissions are becoming very very competitive.</p>
<p>Ah. ignore this post.</p>
<p>You have plenty of time to get your overall grades up to get into UF/UCF. Keep at it.</p>
<p>I have a simple question that I probably should know. Do colleges such as UF/UCF view your overall GPA with electives and core classes or just core classes? </p>
<p>Also, thanks for the reinforcement. Freshmen year has been nagging in the back of my brain the whole past year. I</p>
