<p>I messed up my freshman year of undergrad college and I made up for it by taking a whole lot of easy blow-off courses to boost my GPA?</p>

<p>Grad programs will be able to tell how substantial your program-related coursework is. As long as that is solid, I don’t think they care if your unrelated electives are wellness 101 or history 347. </p>

<p>There’s also a good chance that your freshman year grades might get ignored completely. Many graduate programs will focus on your major GPA or your GPA for the most recent 60 credits.</p>

<p>Thanks, that does make me feel a bit better for taking a bunch of easy electives. My GPA is pretty high for the last two years.</p>
