low gpa sophomore year

This year I moved to a top boarding school in the US. My first term gpa for sophomore year was a 3.5, how much does that affect my college admissions assuming I get about a 3.85 gpa for the rest of my terms in high school.

You’ll most likely be able to get into a college in the US.

That’s pretty much all that can be gleaned from a first term sophomore year GPA, which will make up about 2% of a college application.

So its not a big deal right? It wont determine, say, if i go to columbia or like american college? Im worried that ive basically ruined my chances of admission to top colleges with this one term
