<p>Are these classes usually disregarded or removed in college admissions?</p>
<p>I have head this, but it seems like the amount of time necessary to reconfigure so many GPA's to the college's standard while removing all these classes would be unrealistic.</p>
<p>I am asking this because my school requires us to take 2.5 credits of art, and I suck at art. The result is my only B+'s are in subjects like web animation and guitar. The removal of these classes would raise my GPA dramatically.</p>
<p>I have seen that Stanford asks for an only academic GPA.</p>
<p>By religion do you mean something like the dual curriculum at some yeshivas? While I doubt Stanford really wants talmudic scholars, having the sheer drive to do well in regular courses while taking a full second schedule is rather impressive. If it's just one or two religion courses, I think you can safely ignore them - a D might be a negative but a B is no big deal.</p>
<p>hmm religion at my school is a christian/catholic philosophy course. hope they keep it b/c im most likely majoring in philosophy and ive done well in them. would these courses be kept inthe gpa?</p>
<p>I'm taking IB Philosophy, IB World Religions, and IB Theory of Knowledge. Since they're actually considered academic courses, will they be removed?</p>
