<p>I have heard that the grade you receive in a transferable CC course will not apply to your UCSD GPA, but grad schools will request transcripts from all attended colleges, so technically they will see the grade. </p>
<p>What I am thinking of doing is taking a course that is required for my major (chem) at a CC for a P/NP grade instead of a letter grade. I am not sure how well I will do since I am no chem major, and the last chem class I have taken was ~3 years ago. </p>
<p>Even though it is required for my major, does it really matter what grade option I choose? Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks.</p>
<p>With the exception of genchem and possibly ochem, I’d advise against taking <em>any</em> chemistry classes outside the department, especially if they serve as prerequisites for future classes. It won’t be very fun when your protests of “but I didn’t learn that in my JC class, why do you expect me to know it?!” fall on deaf ears.</p>
<p>You say you’re a chem major but you won’t be taking any other classes after the second quarter of general chemistry?</p>
<p>Something doesn’t match up.</p>
<p>Also: if your CC is semester-based, there’s no way it could be the 6B equivalent. Maybe half of 6B and all of 6C if it’s second-semester genchem.</p>
<p>? I said I am not a chem major, which is why I want to do it as P/NP if possible because I do not remember any chem from high school.</p>
<p>I just need a chem class to fulfill a general science requirement for my major. According to assist.org the CC class matches up with the 6B one.</p>
