Terrible high school freshman year

Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>So I had an awful freshman year. I know i shouldn't blame teachers but my math teacher didn't help to much and switching schools in between semesters didn't help. 1st semester was around a 1.5 GPA and 2nd semester around a 2.2 GPA. I'm not an idiot and I actually care about my success and might want to pursue something in pharmacy or in the FBI. I also plan on doing baseball (My brother is a college head coach for baseball and coaches say I have good chances at getting looked at by D1 colleges) and a lot of community service and other extracurricular activity's.</p>

<p>I averaged my freshman GPA with estimated grades for the rest of high school and got numbers around 3.2.</p>

<p>I'm stressing out about it so what are my options as far as college goes? community college to 4 year transfer? I've also heard colleges like Stanford don't look at your Freshman GPA. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.</p>

<p>There’s no reason to be looking at community colleges this early in the game - just try your best and by the end of Junior year (or the beginning of Senior year) you find that you have a decent SAT score and a GPA of at least 3.0+ coupled with your success in baseball, I’m sure you’ll be fine. I don’t know if Stanford or any top tier schools are in the picture at this point, but its way too early to tell anyway.</p>
