Yeah, my first year GPA wasn't stellar either and I'm also pre-med. But the good thing is that medical schools really just look for improvement. So as long as you do better in your subsequent years, you will get in somewhere, even if it's not Johns Hopkins. The best peace of advice that I can give you is really just making sure that you put in time everyday to study for classes. Because one of the hardest things about the change from high school to college is that you don't get homework and assignments due the next day that force you to look at the material. So set some time aside for that. Another thing is that you may have a great idea in going to the library to do work, but don't make it a party. Don't go to the library with friends, it almost NEVER works out. Also make it a point to talk to professors about class so they become familiar with your face, and know that you are making an effort with the material. And if your school offers tutoring or group studying programs, whatever resources they have, make sure to try them out.
