Colleges: Do they look at G.P.A or individual grades?

Question

I am good at evreything non-math based.
So do they look at your gpa or individual grades because mine will look like this.

Science classes:90's
English classes:95+
Computer classes:85's
Math classes:70-80

Answer 1

Both will probably matter. GPA is the first cut - if your overall GPA is too low, they won't care what individual grades are, but if it is basically acceptable, they will look at the grade patterns. The math will matter more if you are going into a field which uses math. If you plan to major in Dance, they won't care too much.

Answer 2

They look at the whole package (both GPA and individual).

What is your expected major in college? This will make a difference.

Answer 3

They look at the whole GPA, but if it's a very liberal arts based school, they might forgive a bad math grade. It depends on the school.

Answer 4

I got into grad school without a really good undergrad gpa, but with a high gre score, a convincing essay and a good interview.. pretty much the trick is you gotta tell them you're really interested n youve learnt from your mistakes..
