Retaking Classes

<p>Hi,</p>

<p>Currently I have a GPA of about a 3.4 and I am in my last term this year. I am thinking of retaking classes from grade 10 in order to raise my GPA. I know it is possible, but I am wondering how it will look on my transcript. Will it show both marks, the old one, or the new one? Also, will universities frown upon taking a class again?</p>

<p>Thank You</p>

<p>You have to take that up with your counselor. Schools vary in their policies that's definitely something you should talk about with your counselor. </p>

<p>Depending on how it's shown on your transcript, universities could frown upon it. For example, if you got a D in Algebra I and next to it is an "A", Harvard won't be too happy- you somehow screwed up a lot. However, if your transcript only shows you got an A, then they wouldn't care. It's not something you'll probably have to deal with though.</p>

<p>Well, at least you'll learn the material better. I retook a bunch of math classes several times (not in high school), and it really helped me get a handle on the subject matter.</p>

<p>^ agreed. :P</p>
