I have a low C in Organic Chem and ~ 3.2 gpa.
I can't decide if I should pass/fail the class & retake it later ... or if I should just keep the C. Thoughts?
How would you get a C if you still had an option to pass/fail it?
I thought all prereqs had to be taken as A-F letter grades
They do. You can Pass/Fail it, so it does not hurt the GPA, but retake it later.
Why on earth would you pass fail it. And, what would happen if you "didn't have time later."
Case 1:
You A/B/C the class and get a C. You retake it later and get an A.
Total GPA = 3.0
Case 2:
You P/F the class and get a P. You retake it later and get an A.
Total GPA = 4.0
Which would you prefer?
