<p>I've heard that in college admissions, your G.P.A. doesn't take into account classes like P.E. and electives such as Speech and Debate. Does anyone know the details? Thanks.</p>
<p>Most colleges only include what they consider “academic courses” into your GPA. The precise definition varies, but PE is basically never going to be considered.</p>
<p>Also, many colleges ignore your freshman year grades, or look at them but don’t include them when calculating your GPA.</p>
