I am registered for two extracurricular classes that gives me A's regardless of attendance or effort. How will ad coms view 7 semesters of free A's (8cr total each sem), will they exclude them when calculating actual GPA?

I had a few classes like that on my transcript, it never came up. (granted, i graduated with a cgpa >3.7 with over 160 credits)

They won't be BCPM obviously but apart from that it doesn't matter, they'll still count in your AMCAS GPA and that's what the adcoms use.

How will adcoms know?

It’s fine. They probably won’t know or care. They’re probably not sGPA I assume? Regardless it doesn’t matter. Just do well.

And how exactly would we know that they are free A's?

Anyone who can get an A is this deserves it!

Exactly! I probably can't even do basket weaving above water. And underwater...it's all I can do to keep the dang water out of my snorkel! 😱

Cornell teaches a class titled Tree Climbing, another college offered one in The Art of Walking (or something similar), and the University of Southern California has a class titled #SelfieClass.

Underwater Basket Weaving doesn't sound too far off.

Rutgers?

Rutgers?

I'm joking about these classes being offered anywhere. I assume you are too?

I heard Rutgers actually offered the underwater basket weaving. I wouldn’t be surprised even a little if most any college provided a community canvassing class either.
