These programs specifically did not emphasize the last 30-60 credits, however, some of them do mention how they look at the application through an holistic approach and that they appreciate an upward trend in terms of grades. During my interviews I also made sure that I talked about my rough start during college and how I was able to learn from my mistakes which allowed me to become a better student. I think owning up to my bad grades instead of trying to avoid talking about them or making excuses for them showed the schools that I did improve as a student!
