Summer class dilemma

<p>I'm right now taking a summer class, and because of unforseen emegencies early on in the summer, I'm kind of screwed for the class. The best I can hope for is probably a C. Do you think I should take this class as P/NP? I really don't want to screw up my GPA. The class is not related to my major nor is it part of BCPM, Im taking it because of an university requirement.</p>

<p>BTW, does taking too many classes as P/NP hurt you later on in medical school application? What's the rough limit on the number of classes that you can take this way beore it negatively impacts your chances? Thanks a lot.</p>

<p>I think it's relative. P/F is obviously unacceptable for pre-med classes, general education requirements, or your major/minor classes. For electives, you can probably take some as P/F, but I wouldn't take too many. I always did well in my electives, so A/B/C/D/F grading benefited my GPA.</p>

<p>Personally, I would take the P versus the C, ESPECIALLY considering the class isn't related to your major or is a pre med req. I would not make a habit of it though. I doubt taking one class P/F when all your other classes have been taken on a graded basis will make a significant difference in how admissions sees you...</p>

<p>aaa...isn't it way too late to change the class from grade to p/f? o.O</p>

<p>What class are you talking about?</p>
