If you have a legitimate reason for your grades freshman year that you include on your app (w/o making it sound like an excuse), you should be fine in that area. However to make up for your GPA, you do need a higher SAT score. Maybe try retaking it? But you should definitely get into all the SUNYs and most likely Fordham, but I’m not sure about Syracuse, BU and George Washington. Colgate is a reach. Also, you don’t really have any ecs actually related to business, which could be a weak point.
