<p>I know that most of you could care less about this, so I’ll make it quick-</p>
<p>I went to a public high school in 9th and 10th grades (I am at a private school now). At my public school obviously I was required to take classes like gym (or PE for those of you in the south) and basic computing in addition to the regular core classes. </p>
<p>I did very well in my core classes (mostly As with Bs in math), but got a low B in basic computing and a B in gym (hey, I didn’t like the swimming portion!). </p>
<p>My questions are-</p>
<li><p>Will those non-core classes be factored into my overall GPA for both schools?</p></li>
<li><p>Do colleges even care if I got a B in gym or basic computing if I am not majoring in anything related to computers?</p></li>
<li><p>Is there any chance that they (the colleges) will throw those classes out when they calculate my cum. GPA?</p></li>
</ol>
<p>Also, one more quickie-</p>
<p>Through an accelerated program at my middle school I was able to take HS Biology in 8th grade, but did miserably and got a 60ish (D) for the year. That was the last final grade below a B, and in my freshman/sophomore and current junior years I have yet to make a term grade below a B. I am also planning on taking AP Biology as a senior next year.</p>
<p>Do you think the colleges will cut me some slack on my bio grade since even though it was a HS course I was in the 8th grade at the time that I took it? I really was a moron back then…</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
