I had 3 C's my freshmen year in college will that effect my chances for a better GPA?

Most universities in the U.S. (I'm assuming that's where you're from) will admit you if you meet their required GPA and SAT/ACT requirements. Your GPA right now isn't too bad, especially if you continue to work hard at raising it next semester. You also already have one AP class as a freshman, which shows that you are very academically motivated - that's always a good thing to portray in a college application.

On top of this, you haven't even taken the SAT/ACT yet, so if you end up doing very well, you will stand a very strong chance at being admitted to the vast majority of colleges in the country. But if you're aiming for the most selective colleges, other aspects of your application are considered in the decision making process as well - namely your college essays, teacher recommendations, and extracurricular activities. Just think about this: the admissions committee can only reasonably expect to spend about 15 minutes on each application, since they literally receive thousands of applications every year.

They can only spend about 5 minutes looking through your high school transcript and SAT/ACT scores to determine if you are academically qualified, before moving on to read your essays/recommendations for the rest of the time. There are so many factors that go into a college decision that one C, especially in your freshman year, will ultimately not be significant. To give you some hope, there was a guy who was accepted to Dartmouth (an Ivy League college) 2-3 years ago.

He had many B's and a C in his sophomore year, and his SAT scores and extracurricular activities weren't particularly outstanding, relative to the other Dartmouth applicants. Technically, he was in a worse position than you are. But he attributed the reason for his admission to the fact that he was an excellent writer and wrote great college essays.

Once again, the purpose for colleges looking at your grades is to determine whether you are academically qualified to attend - it's just that. Don't worry about a C in your first semester of high school - remember that you have seven more semesters to improve your grades in math!

Your grades are really good and you're involved. You don't have anything to be worried about, I got a couple of C's in math, but all my other grades were really good, so it didn't matter. Colleges really focus on your junior grades, then your sophomore, then freshman, then senior.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
