Which schools are on the pass/fail system?

That's a definite negative on IUSD, ghost rider. The only pass/fail courses I can think of at IUSD are the introductory ethics course and PBL. Maybe more during D3 & D4, but the majority of the curriculum is graded.jaerob said:I believe Indiana and Columbia are as well.

If pass/fail is used..then how is class rank or gpa decided when applying for specialties?
Doesnt this sort of take away the whole compeition aspect and allow everyone to become slackers (pass with a C or D, why work for passing with an A?)

Bullfan16 said:While what you are saying is true...schools with pass/fail still have ways to rank their students....meaning there is competition (namely for those who want to specialize). From what I gather, its not a true pass/fail undergraduate grading scale...its more like high pass/pass/low pass/fail. In the end, I dont really care because I dont plan to specialize...so its all good.
