<p>I think companies will more so look at your overall GPA and won’t care much about first semester. Especially if you had no study habits in high school, it can be very hard to adjust from high school to college. My advice would be (well, I’m a first semester freshman in a similar situation, didn’t like chemistry the first time around, now I like it less) to try to figure out what study habits work for you and take classes you enjoy.</p>

I plan to give up on this too, I did that for my math/science classes this semester (one which I already had AP credit for!). The first set wasn’t so great, the second set was a little better, math went up to a decent grade (but still.. could have done better and most people I know in 32 already rocked BC in high school anwyay..) but chemistry went down again after people started withdrawing from the class/dropping to Chem23.</p>
