I don’t think grad schools really care where you start. They mostly seem concerned with a.) your major GPA and b.) your GPA in your junior and senior year, when you should have been taking upper level classes, since those are a better indication of your grad school performance than intro to basketweaving or whatever your first year gen eds were. Oh, they’ll look at your cumulative GPA and your application will never even make it to committee review if it’s below a certain point, but a couple of Cs your freshman year or even a few mediocre early semesters won’t matter much in light of a vastly improved GPA in the relevant stuff.
