Hi CJ, Being a new freelancer your first goal should to get "Rising Talent badge" on your profile.. To get top rated badge you have to earn minimum $1000 on upwork with 90% Job success score.

Crystal,
It will depend on if you take short term fixed rate jobs or if you take hourly jobs, short or long term. I didn't have any kind of score my first year as I worked for the same client that long. And I only had feedback because he gave me a raise and my contract changed.
Really your first goal is to learn to write a dynamic cover letter that makes you stand out from everyone else. I couldn't look at your profile. I am not sure if you have it public or for only those on Upwork to view but I got an error message trying to view it. You may want to set your options to public so anyone can find you.
If you choose to do long term do a good job with the client you land and you will be with them for a long time. If you choose short term do a dynamic job to land some great feedback and the rest will come.
