Hello all, I am new to the forum! I am a political science junior at a large public university. I am considering graduate school. I had a horrible first year of college... My grades were mediocre and I did not like my major. I transferred to my current university and later changed my major. I fell in love with political science and my grades have increased significantly. My freshman GPA (or my GPA from my other university) is a 3.0, my current GPA is a 3.7. Last semester was my first official semester in my new major, and I made a 4.0. I have not taken the GRE yet, but I plan to study for it over the summer. Is my first year going to affect my chances of getting into a decent grad school? I really had no idea how to make good grades when I started my ungraduate career. I had poor study skills... I even made a C in one of the core political science courses during my freshman year. I have made nothing but A's in all my political science courses since.. Thank you for your advice!
