<p>for spring 2008 of course. thanks a lot.</p>

<p>Just keep in mind that the option to change it to Letter Grade has long since passed. Once you make it P/NP, there’s no going back.</p>
<p>i’m a MCB major planning to apply to med school.</p>
<p>i remember in CalSO the counselors said changing it to P/NP wasn’t a bad thing, and actually encouraged us to take some classes for P/NP.</p>
<p>considering my major and my goals, is this a good thing to do if i’m planning to change a breadth class (one of the 7 breath requirements for College of L&S) to P/NP?</p>
<p>General rule of thumb: if it’s outside of your major and outside of whatever postgrad requirements you have, feel free to take it P/NP. You get to take up to 33% of your classes that won’t affect your GPA one iota, so use it to your advantage.</p>
<p>In your case, I don’t see the problem with taking classes outside MCB/pre-med courses on a P/NP basis.</p>
<p>btw, the general rule of thumb described by undecided does not apply to College of Engineering (all tech/science courses, required for major or not, must be taken for a letter grade)</p>
<p>The only class I’ve taken as P/NP (where it wasn’t the only option, like Independent Study) is Soc 3AC with Brian Powers. I couldn’t stand his class and just stopped going entirely.</p>
<p>I’ve taken everything else for a grade: BA 102A, 103, Psych 160. Compare your current class standing to the distributions shown on pickaprof. If you’re within that A range, I’d just go for it and keep it letter-graded. You get the most out of your education this way. Just my take on this.</p>
