How much could a bad freshman year grade affect my college acceptances?

I have gotten good grades besides one grade freshman year. I was in Honors Geometry and ended with a C+. My GPA now is a 4.3 and I have many EC’s and take rigorous classes, getting A’s. I heard that some colleges don’t really care about freshman year grades, so I wanted to know if that could be true. If not, how much could that grade impact my application?

I don’t think it will make much of a difference. Your gpa is great, don’t worry about it :slight_smile:
