<p>Quibono, you wrote: “He’s not very interested in those classes and so has a tendency to goof around.”</p>
<p>In my best impersonation of Tim Gunn, I feel like saying “I’m concerned.”</p>
<p>What makes you think there won’t be required art, drama, and music classes (and which will impact his GPA) at BS?</p>
<p>While of course BSs want “smart” kids, I think many place a premium on the “double/triple threat” student. The kid with solid grades who will play an instrument in the orchestra and then be part of a sports team. </p>
<h2>I’m sure some schools are more into recruiting specialists, but I think the niches they are looking for ARE more arts/sports related.</h2>
<p>Note, despite the above, I think you CAN get into a selective BS with lower grades in non-academic classes.</p>
