<p>Anyone know any potential downside to utilizing a S/NS option on a class that isn't a pre-req or needed for my Areas of Knowledge? </p>
<p>I'm strongly considering it since I am not doing too hot in a class right now, and I don't have any need for it really.</p>
<p>I’m in the exact same position as you right now. I’m taking a class which was supposed to be an easy class, but I guess everyone thought wrong. I’m also contemplating on whether or not to change it to S/NS, but now I’m actually worried that if I do change it, I might have a change of getting an NS which is pretty bad! I did horrible on the first midterm and it ain’t gonna get any easier! </p>
<p>I don’t need this class either so if I do change it, I’m fine with just getting the elective credit.</p>
<p>Either one of you still have the option of using your annual drop? If so, you still have until the 18th to use it. Also, if its not a pre-req or major requirement and you think its going to kill your GPA, I would totally use the S/NS.That being said, once you decide to use the S/NS the threshold for passing the class raises a bit.</p>
