So apparently a pass in a p/np class is calculated as a 2.0? 😕
I didn't know that D:
I HAVE to take some classes p/np because that's the only way they're offered
I hate the idea of basically being guaranteed a C 🙁

thank god my labs/research isn't p/np

There's something wrong with that.

I'm really hoping I misunderstood something :/
do they really count a P as a C?

No. A Pass/Fail class does not affect your GPA. Where did you hear that?

Dude I'm screwed if thats the case. We have to take a certain number of credits as pass/fail.

I overheard people freaking out about it before our chem final today
you just made my day 🙂

Maybe your school does, but AMCAS doesn't.

If your transcript says "P" then it will have no impact on your AMCAS GPA.

yeah don't worry about it - i had plenty of p/np classes (research for credit) and it doesn't factor into your GPA at all on AMCAS.
