<p>In my school, you get 5 credits for a Math course(any major subject) and 5 credits for an elective. We also have 4 credits for P.E</p>
<p>So, when calculating your GPA, would both be considered equal?</p>
<p>Ask your guidance counselor how these are evaluated by your school.</p>
<p>Some colleges and universities will separate academic and non-academic subjects and re-calculate applicants’ GPAs according to their own particular system. But since this can change from one year to the next, it isn’t easy to predict whether or not it will affect any individual student’s applications. That means that you can’t slack off in P.E.</p>
