<p>Holy jeeburs, i thought my attempt at being a peacemaker would have succeeded. guess not…</p>
<p>luvtoolearn, dont get me wrong. i envy you because you were able to transfer to berkeley which is a huge accomplishment. but just because you got into berkeley, doesn’t mean you are anymore qualified compared to one who hasnt gotten in yet. you give an interesting argument that because of your personal experience, along with other peoples, the idea of taking “fundamental” igetc classes as p/np hurting you is a myth. but honestly, things change. requirements are getting harder by the year. so i think that is where sleeper’s statement is getting at. he/she thought that since it is getting more competitive, taking a fundamental igetc class as p/np might put you at a disadvantage compared to others.</p>
<p>your second post (the one i hope is above this one) clears this topic up even more. but it doesnt answer the core fundamental argument of - “will it put you at a disadvantage or not.” yes, you can take it for p/np if it’s equivalent to a grade of C or better. but how is that able to gauge your actual grade? is someone who takes the course with a grade and gets an A = to a student who takes the course with a P/Np but puts C level work? </p>
<p>im not saying any side is wrong or right here. but i dont think the above question can really be answered by one of us. if your past experiences prove that it does, hey - maybe it is true. but again, that’s one instance (yours) and not everyones.</p>
