<p>I want to know do graduate schools care about your G.P.A or your major G.P.A for example if in your major classes you have high grades and in your non major classes you have an average grade which do graduate schools look at more </p>
<p>There is no one answer to this, as different departments care about different things. Grad admissions generally happens in two rounds, a quick down-select where they create a pool of “best qualified” candidates, followed by an up-select where they pick the ones that best fit the available openings. In that first round some departments will use your overall GPA (if for no other reason than that it is easiest), others will use your last X credits or your major GPA or something else entirely. In the second round, they are almost always focused on your performance in a handful of specific classes.</p>
<p>Does that help?</p>
<p>Both. You need to have high grades in your major courses, but you also need to show focus enough to have above-average grades in your non-major classes as well.</p>
