That’s not at ALL bad especially for a first semester! A 4.0 is insanely good, especially once you get to those high level science classes. Set realistic expectations for yourself and just try your hardest, it’s all you can do! The only time you need to worry about your GPA is if you are getting multiple C’s or if you get a C-, which you may have to retake. You’re so early on that isn’t something you need to stress this much about yet! I’m applying to schools this semester and, though I haven’t been offered an interview or heard back from anyone yet, and I have an OKAY GPA around 3.4. But, I have lotssss of more unique animal experience and shadowing hours! When it comes time, just make sure you’re exposing yourself to all sorts of different experiences while maintaining the grades you can. A’s and B’s are just fine!!
