You will be up against other freshmen who have 4.0s (or close to it) including AP classes, and with impressive, solid resumes, including school and community service.
I cannot speak for every GLO regarding reviewing transcripts. I will tell you that as a person who writes recommendations, I ask to see transcripts. I don't keep them, but I look at the actual grades and the SAT/ACT scores. It only took one PNM misrepresenting herself on a resume for me to start that practice. I need to see the grades myself rather than relying on what a PNM put on her resume.
As for obtaining recommendations, there are a plethora of threads on Greek Chat on this very topic.

Keep this in mind when people are gently (yes, gently) letting you know that your grades may not be up to snuff. You may have finished the semester with a 3.7, but a semester's worth of better grades won't pull up a 3.0 cumulative very much at the end of your senior year.
