[quote=Anonymous]OP, I suggest reading the book, "Who Gets In And Why." It's up to date and useful for questions like this. What I learned was that all colleges will recalculate an applicant's GPA to their own standards, so they they get an apples-apples comparison across all applications. They all do it differently and most throw out the honors/AP bonus. They often produce different metrics, such as GPA for all coursework vs. GPA for coursework in area of interest (e.g. STEM classes for an engineering applicant.) Some throw out PE and other classes all together before they start. So, in the eyes of an admissions officer, an A in PE doesn't meaningfully bring up the GPA of a struggling student, it doesn't bring down the GPA of a top student. My opinion is that if nothing else, it could show that your honors kid can manage a general PE setting, which is not a bad thing. BTW, if other posters weren't clear, grades in PE are determined by "effort" not by being athletic.[/quote]
