Transcript/GPA for employers grad school

<p>So I go to a top school where transfer credit doesn't count towards GPA- This summer, I'm just taking one really easy class in Fitness that is required by the school- just so I don't have to take the version of it at the school, which is much harder. Ironically, I made a huge mistake in turning in an assignment and got a 0 for it, so The highest grade I can make is a B in the class- I currently have a 4.0 at the top school and the B won't affect that GPA directly, but what would employers/grad school think if they saw that GPA? Would I have to report both transcripts? I don't expect to keep that 4.0 at all (though I plan on aiming for it throughout my time in college). Should I be worrying about this or am I just being pathetic and making much ado about nothing?</p>

<p>I would say this is much ado about nothing. You probably will have to submit both transcripts to grad school, but it’s highly unlikely that they will care about a B in Fitness. They will care a lot about your grades that are germane to your field of study.
I doubt that employers would blink, either. It’s a B. B=good. And it’s P.E.</p>

<p>I would not lose one moment’s worry on this. You’ll be fine.</p>

<p>I don’t believe that an imperfect grade in fitness would be a problem here based on the appearance of some of the people working here.</p>
