<p>I am in an intro writing course in my second semester at Umich. I am planning on being a math major with a possibility of attending law school. Will law schools truly look at my English grades in my first two semesters with that much scrunity considering I will be a math major? Also if I can improve my writing and with history and polisci courses, get better grades therefore proving to them that I can handle the writing and reading component of a law school cirriculum? I am asking this because I know law schools want top gpa’s but do they really take into account freshman gpas in the overall equation especially if the person proves their merit later on. Thanks!</p>
<p>Basically yes. Freshman GPA Counts just as much</p>
<p>So if FatJoe has As in everything but writing in which he has a C but his GPA is 3.75 then what?</p>

<p>Then his GPA is a 3.75 which is pretty good. He gets a gold star</p>
<p>Math is hard. I doubt you will make straight A’s in it to make up for your english grades.</p>
<p>Obviously, it will count, but it’s not going to have any meaningful effect if you had all A’s except for one C freshman year. On the other hand, it’s pretty likely that you won’t have all A’s. And law schools might be a little put off by the fact that you struggled in reading and writing-intensive courses, since there’s not a whole lot of math in law school.</p>
<p>i agree…wouldn’t Writing Courses have much more significance than Math?..regardless, i would assume a 3.75 is still a 3.75</p>
