<p>I didn't pass Pol Sci 179. It is a one unit, pass/no pass class. It wasn't part of my required 13 units and it is not required by or related to my major. </p>
<p>Does it get factored into my gpa?
Will it look bad on my transcript? (I might apply to grad school, but probably not).
If I retake it and pass, will it replace the NP on my transcript?
If I retake it and fail, will I be the ultimate failure?</p>
<p>i think it shows up on the transcript but isn’t factored into your gpa. no it will not replace the NP on your transcript, i believe both grades will show up. </p>
<p>if you’re applying to med or law school, it will be factored into the GPA those schools see when you apply.</p>
<p>So is there a point to retaking it if I’m not applying to med/law school?</p>
<p>i doubt it</p>
<p>how did you not pass?!?!?!! it was sooo easy</p>
<p>awww…it doesn’t get factored into your GPA but retake it next semester though if you’re going to grad school</p>
<p>thanks for rubbing it in.
i have a terrible memory.</p>
<p>lol sorry :(</p>
<p>no, it’s ok. it’s not that big of a deal.</p>
<p>Since it is one-unit, it does not mean anything really.</p>
<p>It will stay on your transcript. If you retake, you will have the new record in addition, not in place.</p>
<p>However, this really doesn’t matter :)</p>
<p>MechRocket is mistaken… it’s not included in med school gpa</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No, not worth it…unless you’re doing grad in polisci, and even then it’s a random 1 unit class, who cares.</p>
<p>maybe i am, can someone confirm is NP’s count as F’s when you’re applying to medical school?</p>
<p>They are interpreted as a failing grade but are not in the GPA calculation. It won’t change your AMCAS GPA but any and every F (or NP which is considered the same) is an issue for the admissions committee and might be questioned during interviews.</p>
<p>I’m wondering how one fails PS 179? Just having a simple understanding of state and national politics assures passing. </p>
<p>Please don’t tell me you vote too…</p>
<p>Hey stop being so mean. I know plenty of people that fail this class for the simple reason that it’s not a high priority. When you have other finals for important classes it’s easy for a class like this to slip in between the cracks.</p>
<p>I don’t think it’s a high priority for anyone. I went to one lecture this semester, didn’t listen to any of the lectures posted online, and still passed because it was that freaking easy.</p>
<p>i went to 4…the first 2 + Gavin Newsom and the comedian</p>
<p>It wasn’t just about state politics, it was the opinions of individual speakers so I couldn’t remember what specifically they said.</p>
<p>lol you people are so mean.</p>
