<p>At first I thought of this as a trick question–of course the answer is “all.”</p>
<p>That being said, not sure whether BSs want kids pursuing a passion, but it is clear they don’t want well-rounded students, as much as well-rounded classes, meaning they want lots of kids who excel in one thing. If your DC excels in Math, say, I can see a school who would be more forgiving with a B in music.</p>
<p>However, when it comes down to 2 kids who have the same super strengths, the grades in “minor” subjects do matter. Not to mention if they do poorly in something they assert they have a passion for. One thing that hurt my oldest was a passion in one of the Arts, then he got a B because he didn’t like the teacher and copped an attitude, that came out under comments on the report card, such as “not best effort.” Those kinds of remarks are of course the heralders of dooms day.</p>
