Re: GPA, take As when you can get them. Doesn't matter if the course is bullshit - an A is an A, and your GPA is cumulative. This is especially important in first-year, as your performance therein haunts you for the rest of your time at school.
If you went to a moderately good high school, most of first year should be review for you. Learn the new parts, ace the old parts, and finish first year with a 3.7+ GPA and you're set for the rest of your time there.
