A 'P' for pass on my transcript....?

<p>How bad does it look to have a 'P' on your transcript?
It would mean I get to advance to AP Calc for senior year....
But does a 'P' reflect badly?? Does anyone have experience with this?</p>

<p>So you’re taking a math class pass/fail? That sounds pretty unusual.
That will not look great on review of transcript. But if the alternative is a D, it may be a reasonable option.</p>

No, I am taking it online so I have more room in my schedule. Because it’s not the school’s course, even if I get an A/B/C…etc. I still get a P</p>

<p>In that case, I wouldn’t worry about it. Your guidance counselor can mention the reason behind it in their letter that gets sent along with your transcript.<br>
It sounds like you are doing what is needed to challenge yourself.</p>

<p>It’s fine; don’t worry about it.</p>

<p>@skieurope‌ do you know how it would affect my GPA?</p>

<p>It won’t be used in GPA calculation; an F would, but not a P.</p>

<p>I think it’s fine. I took physics pass/fail (I tested out of it) and it didn’t hurt me as far as I know. If you’re really concerned about it, you can explain it in the Additional Information section of the Common App. </p>

<p>Colleges might require you to submit a separate transcript from the online school anyway, and in that case they’ll see the letter grade.</p>
