<p>Will graduate schools count P/NP as C-?</p>
<p>No. They will count it as P or NP, depending on what you got.</p>
<p>Never, as far as I know. It’ll almost certainly be left out of the GPA calculation. Worst case would be that P is left out and NP goes down as a D or F, but I can’t imagine anything but low-quality universities or foreign universities doing this as P/NP is generally understood and accepted.</p>
<p>But the graduate school will not like students who have too much P/NP scores right?</p>
<p>Too much is one thing. But a few shouldn’t be a problem, I would avoid it in the major. Some schools are especially known for allowing P/NP (like Brown) and the quality of the education is not considered lower. They are going to look at the whole transcript.</p>
<p>Based on your concerns, I’m assuming that you have a few NPs on your transcript. If those grades are in the major and taken in the past two years, graduate programs might not like it and in fact might question your ability to handle the academics of graduate school. If, however, those are electives, they probably won’t even glance at them. </p>
<p>And no, NPs do not affect GPA. It’s more of a question of how they look in the context of the transcript.</p>
<p>Dunno about artss & sciences grad schools, but I believe that law and med schools will mark the ‘NP’ as an F for gpa calculations.</p>
