Pass/Fail Courses and Medical School
Hey everyone,

So, I'm considering to take a course in the faculty of health sciences. However, the grading scheme is pass/fail. I was just wondering if anyone knows generally how med schools treat such courses when calculating GPA.

Thanks!

It counts as credit but is not factored into your overall GPA

that's actually a really good question; if the first reply is true then that's kinda not worth it..unless the course is very good

Some schools have rules about how many pass fail courses you can take a year. I think Toronto for example says you can only have one. I can't remember exactly, but its best to check with the schools.
