<p>so Ill be graduating next year and I want to go to grad school for math but ive done pretty bad in general education classes like freshman writing history , into to micro econ cuz they were very boring and couldnt pay attention in those but Ill have taken 2 semesters of undergraduate research and ill have taken graduate courses in PDE's Abstract algebra real analysis complex analysis topology and dynamical systems and I have A's in those classes so dose it really matter that i havent done well in the lower classes ?</p>
<p>It certainly does not mean the end of your grad school dreams, but a lot will depend on how bad is “pretty bad” and what your overall GPA is. An upward trend in GPA also helps to smooth over any concerns, so if all of your low grades were in your freshman year, they’ll be easier to overcome.</p>
