Help! Bad grades during Freshman Year : (

<p>In my freshman year my gpa was 2.2 and 2.4 which is really bad. But in my sophomore year my gpa was 2.7 and 2.8 and in my junior year my gpa was 3.0 and 3.9. Currently I am aiming for a 3.9-4.0 gpa in my senior year. I know my trend is going up which is good but my cummulative gpa is 2.8-3.0. Is that bad? I really want to go to the more well-known colleges like Boston University, etc. I am an international student from Thailand and I have been playing my thai instrument for four years and I am expected to be the president of a community service club in my high school. My SAT score was in the 1800-1900 area and I will be a full pay student. I also would like to major in marketing and minor in psychology (I'm taking both IB Business and AP Psych with A's in both classes) Are my chances of getting into a well-known college bad? : (</p>
