Didn't expect that my DS would like MIT>Harvard

JHU also does P/F first semester (with unofficial letter grades given and Deans List notated on transcript). Couple of observations:</p>

<p>Some kids take required hard classes on purpose (Org Chem if they qualify) so that the potentially lower grade doesn’t show up.

<p>Lots of students take organic chemistry because they intend to go to medical school. Medical schools consider the grades obtained in pre-med courses, so are pre-meds effectively restricted from taking organic chemistry in their first semester?</p>
