| How does taking PE or an elective impact pass/fail in High school impact gpa. I know Honors gets a bump. Is pass/fail part of a gpa calculation? What about summer PE? |

"Each student using the pass-fail option shall receive a "P" (in lieu of grades "A" through "D") and a credit, or an "F" and no credit. Only the letter "P" or "F" shall be recorded on the cumulative record and report cards. If a student receives a "P", it shall not be averaged into the student's grade-point average."
Whether Summer or full year, Pass has no impact on GPA, but Fail does. The course does count towards graduation, but not overall GPA. |

| Summer PE is for a grade unless m, I think, you designate it as pass fail. |

| I heard some colleges put B/B+ as default for the pass/fail grade. Anyone else heard it or have some place it is documented? |

Colleges have upwardly interpreted low grades of certain applicants, but not sure if that can continue after supreme court gutted the affirmative action in education |

| Depends on other grades if you want to take PF. It is an easy A. |
