<p>Hi,
I am an Orthodox Jew and go to a Jewish Provate school, in which i have a dual curiculam with my secular studies (ie math, history, science, english), coupled with religous studies (ie Talmud, Bible, Jewish Law). However, I tend to focus more on my secualkr studies because admission to a top college is a priority. So what i want to know is if my grades that i recieve in my jewish classes count towards my gpa when colleges are looking at my trasnscript.</p>
<p>They count, but they won’t count nearly as much. Don’t worry about it, unless you are failing them, which could bring up a red flag. Admissions officers will probably take a cursory glance at them, that is all.</p>
