GPA and core

[audax]

<p>I know that the UM GPA is solely based on core classes, but is IB music considered a core class (even for LSA)?</p>

<p>I guess the equivalent would be AP music theory.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>

<p>Probably not.</p>

<p>From the UMich website FAQ: </p>

<p>

Freshmen: No extra (GPA) weight is given to Honors, Accelerated, or Advanced Placement courses; however, the difficulty of a student’s curriculum is taken into consideration within the admissions process. Additionally, only academic courses from 10th and 11th grade (Foreign Language, Social Studies, Science, Mathematics, English, and computer programming) are used to calculate the GPA.

<p>Oh well. That kinda sucks, but I hope all IB courses makes up for that.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
