Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Colleges & Universities?
the truth is, it's VERY hard to bring a low GPA up.
right now, you're GPA is at a C (non-weighted i suppose?)
you can PROBABLY bring it up to a B if you work extremly hard and too EXTREMLEY WELL on finals (if your school has those i nkow iin ohio they are VERY important and count as like.. 1/3 of your GPA each year.
goodluck, study hard.
adn keep your eye on the prize!

sorry, but for Oxford you can't. Colleges look at all years and taking it easy your freshman year doesn't look good. You would need a 4.0 unweighted GPA and even Higher Weighted, so unfortuantely, you will not get accepted there. Sorry :(
Things that look good are sports, student government, volunteer work, debate/math teams, other clubs.

Work hard your last three years. All four count, but if you have AMAZING grades for three years, freshman year doesn't look so bad- a lot of people get overwhelmed their first year.
After-school activities, clubs, community service, etc. all look really good on applications. But don't overcommit yourself and go crazy over it. Joining three clubs and devoting a ton of time and effort looks a lot better than joining every society in school just for the sake of being there & burning yourself out.

Good grades and extra curricular activities look good on a college application.
I could be wrong, but colleges mainly look at your JR and SR year of high school. But raising your grades now will make raising your grades for those years easier.
