[quote=Anonymous]While discussing colleges, etc with some folks in other parts of the country, I found out that in some areas kids choose to go pass/fail strategically to boost their grades. For instance, they would do one or two of the non-weighted courses (language, PE, etc) as PF which helps boost their overall unweighted and weighted GPAs. Question for the community - Is this done around here as well? If one can do language on a P/F basis, why not do it P/F for two years and do the AP version as a regular course? How do colleges look at this or do they even care? Would the AP courses count towards total work load - Some posters claim that their kids have done 35+ High school courses starting in MS. Not sure how this matters for college admissions but if it does, will the P/F courses be part of that count or excluded? Really appreciate inputs especially from parents of seniors who may have done this and its impact on college admissions..[/quote]
