it depends on the school and sometimes even the program
my advice is to slow your roll and focus on transitioning to college successfully, meaning establishing good study habits (they will have to change from high school), staying healthy during the time that is often the first extended time away from parent(s) (food, sleep, hygiene, keeping the drugs/booze under control, proper response to inevitably getting sick, mental health), and finally, enjoy the experience by making friends and trying new activities.
I have never once thought about what I could have done to earn another point on my GPA. I have thought a lot about the friends I made and the things I got to experience.
I've thought a few times, my gpa was laughably low. Another little on my gpa would have saved some stress, maybe I'd not have stress related back problems (this is a lie I tell myself, these problems would definitely still be there). But all in all, the last time I had to think hard about my gpa was during the interview for the first job I landed.
As the joke goes, what do you call the person who finishes at the bottom of their class in med school? Doctor.
