<p>OK so i am a freshman in high school, soon to be sophomore and my freshman grades havent been the best. I go to an IB/MYP school though so my weighted GPA is still ok and the classes that i take are grade levels higher and are challenging. </p>
<p>So i take
MYP French 1
MYP Honors Chemistry (weighted)
MYP Honors English (weighted)
MYP Honors World History
MYP PE
MYP Alegebra II</p>
<p>so first semester i got all b's in my classes and this semester i so far know that i got a C in french, B in Chemistry, English, World History, and PE and an A in Algebra II</p>
<p>Apart from grades i am on 2 nationally and internationally competing robotics teams and have been doing Indian Classical Dance for 10 years. </p>
<p>I was wondering how much my Freshman grades would effect me when it comes to colleges (UCSD, UCLA, UCB, Johns Hopkins) for biomedical engineering/prosthetics. Esp if i show them that I was able to improve and get straight A's for the next 3 years in the IB program and score over 700 in SAT subject tests and over 2000 in SAT and over 30 in ACT. will my freshman grades still hurt me? since they do pull down my overall GPA?
if so is there anyway i could retake French over the summer to pull it up to an A?</p>
