<p>Hi, I recently changed the grading method of my MCB 61 class after taking an exam (worth around 25-30% of the grade) and probably getting 30 out of 85 questions right. I was misled into taking this class thinking that it would be more about psychology than bio but I was wrong, and now it appears that I'm either going to barely pass the class this semester or fail.</p>
<p>So I'm wondering, what are the negative effects of not passing on the P-NP system (other than not receiving units)?</p>
<p>I think some med schools count a NP as an F in terms of GPA and whatnot. And I mean failing a class just looks bad on your transcript if you ever apply to any postgraduate places.</p>
<p>NP would still be better than a D or an F. It won’t affect your gpa at least.</p>
<p>don’t u just need a D to pass?</p>
<p>A P in P/NP grading means a minimum of a C-, according to [url=<a href=“http://academic-senate.berkeley.edu/committees/re/regulations-university-california-berkeley-division-academic-senate]this[/url”>http://academic-senate.berkeley.edu/committees/re/regulations-university-california-berkeley-division-academic-senate]this[/url</a>].</p>
