100%. Colleges will mostly look at your junior and senior grades, community service, and extra-curriculars. I would recommend taking honors and AP courses for junior and senior year, an getting involved in school clubs, or even starting your own (which has been known to be successful on college apps). Having a lot of community service hours will also heighten your chances of standing out. If you can, perhaps even sign up to be on your student council to have a bigger impact. Hope this helps!!!:)

Of course! I only did one AP class in my sophomore year. Colleges mainly look at you Junior and Senior year anyways :)
