[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Colleges care about AP courses in the 5 subjects:

math: AB or BC plus or minus Stats 
english:  Lang and/or Lit
history: US and World
foreign lang: Lang and/or Lit
science: Bio, Chem and Physics.

The rest don't matter. [/quote]

How do you know this?[/quote]

It's pretty common knowledge.  These are the 5 core subjects.  Some colleges go as far as to drop other classes from the GPA. [/quote]

Pls list the schools that drop classes from the GPA (which is different than the very few which drop freshman year off).[/quote]
DP. Many schools do this. There’s no comprehensive list. A couple examples:

U Richmond: “While the School Profile often tells us about your school’s GPA calculation, Richmond also recalculates the GPA of all applicants. We recalculate your GPA using only your core classes (English, science, second language, math, and social studies) and we remove the weight from any AP, IB, Dual Enrollment, or Honors classes.”

U Florida: “UF calculates a core, weighted GPA on a 4.0 scale as part of the evaluation process.
- Dual-enrollment courses in academic core areas and any AP, IB or AICE classes receive an extra 1.0 credit weight, meaning that an A is worth a 5.0 on a 4.0 scale.
- Pre-AICE, pre-AP, pre-IB and Honors classes receive a 0.5 credit weight, meaning that an A is worth a 4.5 on a 4.0 scale.”
