WAMC - lowish GPA, c/o 2028/2029

Bad freshman grades Cornell!
I am a premed major and I got bad grades first semester in Cornell.
Bio 1440 - B
Chem 2070 - C+
English 1168 - A
Intro to Public Health - A
Is my chance at medical school jeopardized? I'm planning on taking the following science courses in the spring semester.
BIOMG 1350
CHEM 2080
What strategies can I employ to secure top grades in the above classes next semester at Cornell? (Source: Student Doctor Network)
