Do school tend to count classes such as health or gym?

Applying to College

<p>By state requirement we have to take classes like gym, health, freshmen rhetoric, a computer class, etc. All of which are only 1.25 or 2.5 out of 5 total credits. Freshmen year I got a B in rhetoric and somehow managed to get a B in health, how the heck I did that, only God will ever know :)
Anyhow: rhetoric and health brought down my freshmen year GPA a surprising amount, I only got one B that entire year in French, everything else was an A to an A+
So, do you think when looking at transcripts competitive colleges will really care so much about things like that? Can I submit my GPA without those classes, I mean, for a class that was a quarter or half a year are they really necessary to include?</p>

<p>Thanks for the help!</p>

<p>Most, if not all, schools will recompute your GPA based on their own guidelines. That’s especially the case for competitive schools. Many disregard freshman year and most disregard non-academic subjects like gym and health.</p>

<p>Your transcript will be evaluated by the schools in whatever way they see fit. I don’t think the GPA you “submit” matters much.</p>
