hi there, I am going into my third year and I took a breadth course this past summer which I NCR\/CR’d. I unfortunately didn’t pass and got a final grade of NCR. I am particularly concerned because I want to go to grad school (particularly masters\/law). I am in humanities and the course I didn’t do well in was a science course, but its the first time I failed to get the credit for a course. Will it look bad on my transcript and will it greatly impact my admission chances?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

hello hello!<\/p>\n

don’t feel too bad about the NCR, it happens sometimes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

i’m not sure how it’ll look on your transcript or how it will affect your grad school admissions, though. admissions questions are always the toughest for me to answer because, as a fellow student myself, i’ve never worked in admissions or gotten to go behind the scenes of the process.<\/p>\n

something i’ve been told by academic advisors, though, is this: usually when you apply for grad school you’ll have an opportunity to explain any personal circumstances that may have affected your academic record. so if there was a serious reason you didn’t pass the course, you’ll be able to provide that reason to the grad schools you’re applying to.<\/p>\n

other than that…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

you could always try checking in with your registrar,<\/a> who might know more about this subject than i do. but i have a feeling they’ll redirect you to the specific grad school programs you’re considering, since every program has different admissions policies.<\/p>\n

be Boundless,<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
