lovelyy they dont even look at your app until Fall grades are updated and sent. So its the Fall GPA that matters not the end of summer.

Njoy, I wrote that post. I meant that if I take this class P/NP it would be easy and I could focus on other courses. However it would not affect my GPA. But If I take it straight up I have a chance to raise my GPA, but also Its a risk because anything other than an A in a 5 unit course when you already have a 3.3 would LOWER your GPA. So if I take it I MUST get the A and the reward is a big jump in GPA, if I go pass not pass my GPA will not jump as high. Get it?

If you want to raise your GPA in a short time you MUST get A’s in classes with high units like 5, because they pump out a possible 20 quality points. Whereas 3 unit courses can only pump out a maximum of 12 quality points. Basically, working your butt off getting two A’s in two english courses worth 3 units each is the equivalent of getting a single A in a foreign language course. These classes are very important, they can really hurt you or really help you. Even if your not an english major you can still take a couple 5 unit courses to sky rocket your GPA.
