Pass/Fail

I can take a few of my GE's as pass/no-pass and it's absolutely okay with my undergraduate institution.

And obviously, it won't factor into my school's GPA.


My question is, do DENTAL SCHOOLS factor P/NP classes into their AADSAS GPA?

I wouldn't do more than one class. They don't really like to see it. I P/F a philosophy class for a GE, and was asked in interviews why I P/F it. I wouldn't do it unless you think you'll get a C in it, otherwise, I wouldn't pass/fail it

pardon my noobness, but what's GE stand for, general education?

and does p/np really matter that much? i passed out of 3 classes: statistics, and my philosphy and international breath classes which were requirements for my college but not prereqs for dental school...i had thought this wouldnt make much of a difference

What would be the preferred answer for that? I have one p/f class and quite honestly, I did it so I can focus on the more important classes. Would that be a bad answer?

I simply said, which was the truth, that I had a C when I agreed to the P/F. (Now I would have ended up with a B had I not...)

If you do one class that isn't that important, ie philosophy, then it won't be that big of a deal. If they see multiple P/F, then they might look negativity upon that. Think of it this way, there are as many as 100+ people applying for each spot in some schools. It won't look as good with pass/fails.

How about taking english as a cr/ no credit. This will be done to satisfy the requirement of 1 english credit for american dental schools? I probably will get a C or B- or at best a B (low chance)

I think most schools would assume the worst when it comes to P/F grades. They just assume you put the effort of getting a C- which is pretty much nothing.

a "B" probably would look better.

I took a class P/F, put absolutely zero effort into it, didn't attend class, and got the Fail. Never at any of my interviews did it come up. But I would agree, multiple P/F's might look bad.

Do the dental schools allow a pass/fail english credit as satisfying the requirement for dental school.

Well as long as a PASS isn't somehow factored into my AADSAS GPA as a "C", then by all means, I think I'm gonna take it P/NP.

After all, it's just a French course 🙂
