<p>How does a "pass" look like to college admissions?</p>
<p>Will they automatically view it as a D?</p>
<p>Good/Bad?</p>
<p>If they viewd a C as a D, then there would be no point in separating the two letter grades.</p>
<p>C means average. That's how the college will view your grade. Average.</p>
<p>But if I request for a "pass," it would have no affect on my cumulative GPA.</p>
<p>Yes, you're right. But what I am saying is that colleges know that. They probably know that that the "pass" is equivalent to a C. It's not unheard of during the admission process that they re-do your GPA according to their standards.</p>
<p>Oh... so should I just keep the C?</p>
<p>Depends on what you want. But since your GPA is also a very tiny factor in admission....just do what you want. I'm just saying that either way, won't make much of a difference. A C's a C. Nothing bad or anything.</p>
<p>Thanks Tami.</p>
<p>Any other insights?</p>
<p>in college admission GPA is def not a tiny factor</p>
<p>Yeah... i heard that too starryeyedgirl, which is why I'm hesitant to keep the C and not a "pass."</p>
<p>def. not a HUGE factor either.</p>
<p>Class rank is, however. I'd take the pass.</p>
<p>Colleges would rather see a real letter grade than a "pass." They don't look highly on that.</p>
<p>How do they look at classes dropped at the end of a semester? For example, going into a regular class opposed to staying in the AP/Honors class before even though the grade was astonishingly low?</p>
<p>I am not sure but I think that if you had a good a grade and dropped it wouldn't stand out as much. But if you did have a less than decent grade then it would show that you know when you are in over your head.</p>
<p>Yeah, I would think, they would see you dropping it and realising you knew you were way overboard and took the initiative to do something about it.</p>
<p>I suppose that depends on the college though. Idoubt the ivies or top schools will look at you very happily. bunch of grumps at the admissions office (j/k).</p>
<p>Would it do any good to stay in?</p>
<p>bump bump bump</p>
<p>Well, I mean, if you were getting good grades and you dropped it, bad. But if you're getting terrible grades and there is absolutely nothing you can do (tutoring, teacher help, etc.) then I guess it would be better to just drop it. </p>
<p>Do the math on your GPA and see how it would affect it. I have friends that thought getting a C in one class would kill them, when in fact, put together with all their other grades and such, it didn't do anything to, except maybe .02 of a point.</p>
<p>Will a C on a transcript hurt me a lot if I apply to some of the top 25?</p>
<p>I'll probably regret asking this question later, but do I even have a chance anymore? </p>
<p>*note: standardized tests are not my strong suit, therefore I'm not relying so much on that.</p>
