<p>i know they don't want you to take more than a third of your credits as N/Np by the time you graduate but does anybody know if there is a maximum amount of units/classes you are allowed to take with this grading option per semester? thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Basically, if you are taking a class that has nothing to do with your major, graduate schools don't care if you take it P/NP. Frankly, they would rather see a P than a C-, in all likely hood. There is no set maximum, but the 1/3 idea is a good rule of thumb.</p>
<p>Professional schools (such as law or med schools) might be concerned if about 1/3 of your grades are p/np.</p>
<p>This question is asked at least once every 1-2 months. Use the search feature -- it ain't there for nothing.</p>
<p>Should I change my course grade option to P/NP if I think I may get a B? I'm a pre-med, the reason Im asking.</p>
<p>is the class for your major? If so, then definitely no. And an B is a good grade, especially in Berkeley where everyone is a great student. So I would say take your B no matter what the class.</p>
<p>If it's a BS class that isn't a core pre-med requirement like Soc 3AC, change it to P/NP. That's what I did last semester.</p>
<p>If it's a core pre-med class, then forget about it. You'll have to take whatever grade you get. :(</p>
<p>well, it's not a pre-med requirement, thank God. But I'm taking 5 classes right now and one of them is already P/NP. I really don't want to have 2 out of 5 classes P/NP. Geez, this is such a deilemma. Im right on the borderline right now so I don't even know what I will get by the end of the semester. HAAAAAAAA :(</p>
<p>May I ask what class you are considering changing to P/NP?</p>
<p>PMB 10. There is only one midterm, I did not study too much for that because I was studying for other midterms and got a B on it. Now I need to like get a 95 percent or something on the final to get an A in the class.</p>
