<p>So I have heard as well. However, I know that some selective school, such as Vanderbilt, just looks at the GPA the school provides. I just want to know for schools who DO NOT recalculate the applicant’s GPA, do they care or consider grades from non-academic classes? Can anyone senior CC’er give me some insight because I have been looking at a lot of old posts and none of them address this specific question.</p>
