<p>When I was a freshman, I was on track to attend the local ASU (and prob. not even the honors college). My rank was barely in the top 30% of my class, and I had a TON of Bs and A-s for 2 whole semesters. </p>
<p>But, I suddenly cared about school, got practically all A’s (a few A-s) and I got into Chicago EA last week even though I’m barely in the top 20% of my class.
Yes. Freshman year doesn’t dictate anything. And, middle school is not a “preview” of your future potential. Good luck!</p>
