<p>Does graduate school care about what electives you take?
Does undergrad electives have to be very serious or can I take some classes I enjoy?</p>
<p>Graduate schools care a lot more about standardized test scores, like the GRE and LSAT, your cumulative GPA, major GPA, research, letter of recs, internships, etc. I think you can take classes you enjoy and you will have the bonus of getting a higher grade in them since you’d enjoy them more than a ‘very serous’ elective that you have no interest in. Then again, you should enjoy your major, so taking electives related to it couldn’t hurt.</p>

I took electives like Intro Piano, Natural Hazards, Sociology of Religion and Web Design. Didn’t hurt me one bit in grad school admissions.</p>
<p>Except maybe grad school you’re interested is math, usually their priority is relevant research + letter then GRE/GPA.</p>
<p>Please take what you enjoy. I do not think electives are relevant to grad school admissions, except where it makes you a little interesting. If you can, take critical thinking courses or languages you are interested in if you can take them pass/fail.</p>
<p>I got a lot of comments during interviews on how my electives were all filled up with extra classes from within my major. Then again, half of those classes I was taking just because I thought they’d be fun, and I’d really enjoy them. :)</p>
