Hey, guys, this is my first post on here, so pardon me if I’m posting in the wrong place.
Anywho, I got off to a rough spring semester of my first year in college. I ended up screwing myself over by taking the wrong classes and would have ended up with 3 D’s on my transcript if I did not GPNC one of them (Linguistics). I took Calculus 2, Intro to Linguistics, and Molecular and Cellular Biology. However, I just recently switched majors, so now I technically no longer need Calc, but the D’s from Bio and Calc still linger. Will that look bad on my part when applying to grad school?
Yes, but if you get amazing grades from now on, you can offset those issues.
So as long as I can maintain my GPA with better grades in the next 2-3 years, I should be alright?
Generally speaking, one or two bad grades on your transcript won’t completely destroy your chances as long as you perform well everywhere else and have outstanding credentials in other areas. But it also depends on what kind of graduate school you’re applying to and who your competition is.
My advice is - and I don’t mean this to sound flippant - don’t worry about it overmuch 
Try your best to get excellent grades from here on out, and do the other things that help you be competitive for graduate school. But worrying about the ones you already got won’t change them!
Ah, thank you, thank you. I’m just freaking out because, well, I currently am doing a major for Health Sciences, concentrating in Healthcare Management, so hopefully things work out.
That should be an excellent field to go into-that alone should help reduce some stress. If someone were, to the contrary, looking to go into a declining field, the prospects would be far worse.
