hi, i have 4 courses right now and i really want to CR a course (i will pass thankfully). however, i don’t know how a CR will be considered by law schools, med schools and grad schools. if i don’t CR, i end with a C and while i know uoft med school drops your lowest 2 FCEs and uoft law school only looks at your best overall 3 years of undergraduate study, i don’t know their policy on CR on a transcript. i’d really like to avoid keeping the C if i can. please let me know. thank you.<\/p>\n

hey there,<\/p>\n

so it seems like you’re asking whether a CR on your transcript will impact your admission into grad schools. the thing is, each law school, med school, and grad school program may have a separate policy on this. so i think the best thing you can do is just reach out to the places you’re interested in and see what they say.<\/p>\n

this is such a valid question, by the way. you probably scoured the internet trying to find an answer and came up empty handed, because so did i.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

i did however, find a couple crumbs:<\/p>\n

some places have FAQs where they may or may not answer this question. first, uoft med school<\/a> and uoft law school FAQs <\/a>both do mention CR\/NCR grades, though only in the context of covid-19’s impacts in 2020. second, the law school has a page last updated in 2021<\/a> that says they consider a CR grade to be a successfully completed course, and that they “will not hold CR grades against an applicant”. but<\/em>, keep in mind this in regards to academic grades during 2019-2020, so it might not be relevant anymore.<\/p>\n

so you could absolutely contact admissions directly about this, and follow up about whether this is still true. their email is on that page, and i don’t think it would hurt to ask!<\/p>\n

\"I<\/p>\n

i’m sorry i don’t have a better answer, but i do think it’s best if you contact the grad schools directly. programs do change their policies, so i don’t want to tell you something wrong, especially with decisions that impact your future.<\/p>\n

anyways, i hope everything works out for you, sending lots of encouragement!!<\/p>\n

over and out,<\/p>\n
