Can I get into my list (Northeastern, Upenn, USC) with 3 bs in 2nd semester of freshman year and 1st of sophomore, 3.79 gpa,

According to CC posts I have seen, having Bs is really bad. I was wondering if I would be able to still be competitive at some of my favorite schools. Our weighted GPA’s are out of 4.5 for comparison our valedictorian usually ends with a 4.2-4.3 each year.
