| And then there are schools like Brown that don't even calculate GPA and where students can take as many classes as they want Pass/Fail. Of course, students are encouraged to get grades in classes that are in their major because of grad school-- especially for sciences, I would guess-- but I have heard a rumor of a student who was accepted to Harvard Med School taking EVERY class at Brown Pass/Fail (Satisfactory/No Credit). Naturally students have transcripts from Brown. Anecdote- my brother has been in a position of hiring and he said that when he sees a student graduated from Brown he knows that this is a motivated, interested, self-disciplined person and he doesn't need to know GPA. I guess it depends. Just do your best and rest assured that it is the best you can do. |
