No, if you aren't lazy enough to learn the SAME topic, go ahead...</p>

<p>but do u think that it will hurt my chances?? b/c hey, if i can remedy that grade, i'm taking that class again</p>

<p>I heard that whilst retaking a class means you slacked off the first time, or something, getting an A after a retake shows dedication in adcom's perspectives.</p>

<p>Your school LETS you retake a course, even if you passed?
Oh, it's only us that fail a course that have to retake it. (Damn you, geometry.)</p>

No, if anything, to improve your chances and to pass the course is why you're retaking it in the first place, is it not?</p>

<p>I'm not sure if this is the case at your school but if you do retake a class, my high school designated that it was a repeat and it was pretty prominent on your transcript. I'm not exactly sure how colleges would take it.</p>
