Do colleges care about PE?

I am currently being forced to take PE as a requirement of my state and the teacher sucks, so I have a good chance of getting a bad grade... will colleges even care if I got a D in it?

Yeah, I think a D in PE might send up a red flag.

getting anything lower than an A in PE is disturbing.

They might laugh but I don't think PE has any weight on admissions

It's still a grade... even if it wouldn't weigh as much as other academic classes.

a D in PE..which schools are you talking about? if you get a D and you're the regional soccer teams' captain, then they might sense some disciplinary problems? if all your other classes are A's and B's, then you should explain why you got a D (assuming you did..)
