<p>In my freshman year of highschool for my first semester I took p.e. and received a C. I just wanted to know if that would badly hurt my chances of getting into a good college such as John Hopkins, Cornell, or Tufts. I dont plan on getting any more bad grades like this in academic or non-academic subjects in the future. Any help would be appreciated.</p>

<p>It certainly won’t help you, but a bad grade in an insignificant class in an insignificant year of high school won’t really hurt you at all.</p>
<p>And also, that was the one grade that brought my gpa down. Will my official gpa include the grade from this class?</p>
<p>I don’t know about JHU, Cornell, or Tufts, but the UCs won’t even crunch PE grades into your GPA.</p>
<p>That’s how insignificant the grade is.</p>
<p>Those colleges do not consider PE for admission. They only consider grades in college prep courses – English, language, social studies, lab science and math – and ignore such things as PE, health, and vocational classes. Almost all colleges ignore PE.</p>
