Do fine arts courses factor into my grade point average (GPA)?
While Lake Highland includes all courses when it computes grade point averages, some fine arts courses may not be considered a part of your GPA by some colleges/universities. Fine Arts courses can, however, improve your chances of admission assuming you do well in them. Students who demonstrate artistic talent may have an advantage over many of their fellow applicants because they appear to be slightly different from the norm. It is important to emphasize aspects of your application that set you apart from the crowd. Colleges are looking for a diversity of talents and a range of interests. Artistic talent is not universal; if you have such a talent, nurture it, stretch it, and reveal it.
