GPA calculation in BC, Canada

Anybody from BC can answer this question? I wonder if courses like planning 10 (mandatory(;), orchestra and home economics count. Do these non-academic courses included when school calculates your GPA?

I asked this question because I did not think I got a good grades in planning 10 and other electives… I got good marks in academic courses though. I am afraid that B in these courses will ruin my GPA…

Or, do American colleges focus more on your academic courses, especially those in grade 11/12 level? I’ve heard that admission officers usually know school in your areas well and thus make fair judgements.

Thanks :wink:
