I took all regular college prep classes freshman year and ended up with a 3.6 gpa. Sophomore year i had two honors classes and i ended up with a 4.1 gpa (Two honors courses). Junior year, I had 4 APs and i ended with a 4.5 an senior year I had 5 APs and i also ended with a 4.5.

Will the easy classes i took freshmen year hurt my chances despite the upward trend in grades?

No.

No. But with a reservation. It’s not just “easier” and/or a 3.6. It’s the cores and then classes that relate to your possible major, and how you did in those.
