Low freshman grades

Freshman year I had a terrible 2.5 GPA, and sophmore year while I started to get it together I was admittedly slow with it, getting a 3.3 1st semester and 3.8 2nd. I’m currently a junior, and I’m taking several AP and l3 classes, and as long as I stay at the pace I’m at I should have somewhere between a 4.2-4.4 GPA this year. I test decently well, I got a 1150 on the sophmore PSAT with no prep, and something in the 95th percentile for the English portion. How will these awful early grades, but decent progression effect my chances of getting into a university around UConn’s level? I had pretty bad depression freshman year, which I talked to my guidance counselor about. I feel like mentioning it to colleges would just seem like I’m making excuses though, so I’m not sure what I should do with that.
