What happens if we fail a P/NP Class?

<p>Does our GPA get affected?</p>

<p>no-but it shows up as np on your transcript and you receive no units towards your degree for it unless yoou retake it and pass</p>

<p>YEah basically, all that happens is that you don’t get any benefits for graduation due to it. I know at least one friend who hated a class, didn’t go, failed, and ended up going to a top graduate school. Just don’t fail classes in your major, because that legitimately could be a problem, unless you have a very good excuse!</p>

<p>so if I get an NP on a decal course, it isn’t really that extremely bad as getting NP’s on major courses?</p>

<p>you shouldn’t be p/nping a major course in the first place.</p>

<p>Hi, I’m taking cs 3s right now and am definitely getting a NP this semester because I haven’t done literally anything… is this bad for grad school? I don’t know what I’m going to major in yet, but definitely not CS! I only took the class as a sort of experiment to see what CS was like, and know now that I definitely hate it.</p>

<p>■■■, np</p>

<p>that was me fall 08 frosh year-i am just so glad i p/np-ed cs-3s -there is no help from the tutors for that class at the self-paced center-i did it just to get a feel for it too and i hated it lol</p>

<p>i got a np :(</p>

<p>how does it affect you if you apply to med schools?</p>

<p>i heard grad schools factor into gpa while med schools dont but still frown upon it-im hoping they forgive mine since i was a stupid trying to be bad a s s taking a cs course…lol</p>

<p>an advisor told me that law schools count np as a F. True?</p>

<p>yeah thats what i heard-not sure if true tho</p>

<p>@ waiting4college: yeah, the self-pace center sucks. its always so crowded and i can never get any help even with the really basic stuff. when i ask how to program stuff in emacs they look at me like im an idiot but im like w t f i cant do this stuff. </p>

<p>im glad i got the experience of cs because now i know for sure that i hate it.</p>

<p>so np = F for grad school? well this sucks…</p>

<p>only for law school it does</p>

<p>oh, ok do you know for b-schools? im looking far down the line here but does that only apply for law/med schools?</p>

<p>oh god…emacs-that thing was like ancient-no one even uses it today in the programming world apparently. go figure…oh and i only took it for the minimum 1 unit or whatever-you should change the units if you still can- just thought i would add that</p>

<p>i didnt know how many units i did when i signed up and i just checked and im doing 4 units !!! FMLasdifasdfhadsfhsdaf</p>

<p>can you not change the units anymore either or has the deadline passed? awwwwww that sucks :(</p>

<p>but atleast you changed it to p/np-i realized right after the drop-deadline i didnt care to do the work for the class so i switched it to p/np and basically didnt do anymore work for the class so i could atleast focus on the other 18 units i was taking</p>

<p>i cant change units anymore fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu</p>

<p>yea thank god i changed to p/np. at this point im not even going to do anymore work because it’s just not worth it.</p>

<p>is it 4x worse to np a 4 unit class than a 1 unit class? or does it not make a difference?</p>
