Currently a double major - Psychology and Political Science. Have three classes left for my Psych major, but I kind of hate those classes. How much boost does a double major provide? Should I switch it to a minor, or just stick it out for the few classes left? Could then open up my schedule for a bit to take electives and boost my GPA. Related to that, how much will it hurt if admissions sees me taking easy courses to boost my GPA? I should have done that my first two years, but was stupid and took more classes for my majors, now I'm going back to finish up my gen eds.

Also, I was pursuing two minors, after a discussion here, I decided to drop those plans, and am now instead working towards one 'Certificate' (related to Political Science major). How much will it hurt me that this is a 'certificate' instead of minor? Should I go for the minor instead?

Sorry, lots of questions, but thanks!

All they care about is overall GPA, literally nothing else you mentioned matters in the eyes of adcoms, positively or negatively

Why would anyone care about a political science minor or certificate in any context ever

lol do whatever gets you a higher GPA.

I could be wrong but I think even an additional political science major would not open doors that a psychology major alone cannot. Except, of course, to be a political science professor.

Doesn't matter. Just take the psych minor and take what you want/you'll do well in

Given your majors, it won't matter. The only time that a second major really matters is when patent law is in play - neither of your majors fall in that area, so it won't matter.
