Yes! The sad truth is that once you have one semester of college course work completed your high school grades and test scores are no longer a consideration. University administrators only care if you are able to do the course work. Which tells them more about your abilities??? high school work or college work? Personally I didn't learn anything in high school and didn't even graduate at the top half of my class and it hasn't hindered me at all. If you don't get into the university/college you want the first year just "bloom where you are planted" and then you can transfer later. Transfer students have it a lot easier than first time freshman's trying to compete with every other applicant. My advice, don't even stress about it.

Your cumulative GPA will be lower due to your first year, but what you have going for you is that you recognized you weren't fulfilling your potential, took steps to correct it and succeeded. Grades are realied upon heavily when colleges look at prospective students, but so is character and a pattern of responsibility and potential. I wouldn't worry too much if you keep your grades up. Extracurricular activities on your record also look very good.

I was in this exact same situation in high school. I started first semester freshman year with a 1.6 gpa, but I repeated a course and got it together the years following, and ended high school with a 3.3 gpa. I just finished my first semester at the University of Northern Iowa with a 3.8!

Sure, the best way is to apply at a junior college or community college and then proceed to increase your GPA and be more attractive to a four-year college.
