What do you mean they won't count towards your GPA? Don't they count as a "0" in the calculation? I'm pretty sure GPAs are calculated based on credits attempted, not credits earned.
Sounds like an F that will count in your GPA to me.
Am I missing something? Failing a pass/np didn't affect GPA at my school.
My bad! I thought it's the same as pass/fail - apparently it isn't, so I have no idea how med school adcoms would look at it, but I'd be surprised if they didn't treat it as an "F."
It's not what your school says, but what AMCAS or AACOMAS say.
Was responding to the implication that they would count in the school's GPA, which was the basis of the first quote. I did not know you were talking about the AMCAS calculation.
Was this necessary?
Yeh but ur an sdn mod, you get a break. Someone like me though? I'd be ruined
Yes.
Good one. Because I was being 100% serious when I wrote that reply.
Well if you squint your eyes the NP looks like a F which AMCAS may register as 0. It all depends though on if the AMCAS computer system has eyes, and if those eyes can squint. You are also relying on the fact that those eyes would be squinting the moment OP's primary was verified.
I agree here. Screeners will see three NPs...that will be problematic.
Agreed, insofar as a Pass doesn't count as an A, B, or C in AMCAS GPA calculation. It's hard to believe, however, that a No Pass (or Fail) is counted the same as a Withdraw, although I suppose anything is possible!! 🙂
Ouch..
