for people who had classes pass/fail graded.

did amcas convert those to semester hours or whatever they're called? or are they just blank spots?

just making sure that i didn't just miss out or something.

Nope, P/F classes are not converted to semester hours (i.e. it's left blank). AMCAS doesn't use these classes to calculate our gpa. But notice that the P/F credits are totalled up on the side under "Supplemental hours".

thanks tinkerbelle. 🙂

yea, it's just kind of annoying b/c my freshman year was all P/F and a lot of prereqs i took were during that time. SO, for semester hours for secondaries i don't know what to put down...and the admissions ppl/school aren't sure either either. haha 😛

Yup, I understand 🙂 My first semester was pass/fail too. I still put down the number of credits I received for the class when asked on applications. When asked for a grade, I just put down P. It's not my fault I didn't get grades...
