<p>I'm applying to a few selective schools including Ivies. In my core subjects, I have a solid 94 average (I think thats 3.9). However, I take a few religious classes every year in which I have mostly A minuses, which brings down my total GPA. Will colleges care?</p>
<p>Nonacademic classes do matter, you don’t want to look like you don’t try hard etc.
However, as long as you have an A-, as long as you’re still ranked highly enough within your school, it shouldn’t be too big of a deal.</p>
<p>If you have time to improve your grades do, higher grades are obviously better.
If you don’t, there’s nothing you can do by worrying about it.</p>
