<p>Im taking a business class and ive heard that colleges only put core classes in THEIR gpa calculations. If I take business (freshman year) will it matter, more importantly will it count toward the GPAs colleges calculate. Well im asking will it count with computers courses too?</p>
<p>Almost any time anybody tells you, “Colleges ______,” be skeptical. There are over 4000 colleges in the U.S., about 2500 of which are 4-year colleges or universities. They don’t all do the same thing.</p>
<p>Some colleges recalculate applicants’ grade-point averages using a method of their own, and some don’t. But the ones that do recalculate don’t all do it the same way.</p>
<p>Despite my advice in the first sentence, I will say this: selective colleges will scrutinize your transcript. One way or another, they’ll look not only at the grades you got, but also at the kinds of classes you got them in.</p>
