Which Schools are P/F?

[gucci]

Hi, I was wondering which schools are P/F, which are H/P/F, and which are grades. I know there have been lists before but I am aware this is something that is changing in schools and therefore some of the older threads are not entirely accurate. Is there anywhere to find this information out? (Already tried google) Specifically looking for California and Florida schools

Where do you guys find this information out? Why is it so difficult to find

Each school website.

The school websites that I have been on haven't included any information about grading

Lecom also is. And If you google this same questions you'll see 10+ threads here in which this question was already answered. With lists of ~10 schools.

UNE is pass fail
LECOM is pass fail (I think)
MWU AZ is not pass fail

If u get the ADEA guidebook which I believe somewhere on here there is a link too that I didn't know about till recently and I bought it last cycle , so u could really see it for free, but anyway, if and when you find that link, you can see each schools grading style in it , worth a look if ur really that curious

Don't choose your schools based off of if they are P/F or graded.

Where is it in the ADEA handbook? I couldn't find it?

If you are gearing towards specialization, I would argue thats not a bad idea...

It's on the left column of each school page in the ADEA book. Under General Information, it'll say Grading System.

Doesn't help as much as you'd think. Boards aren't scored and the ADAT will be the new admission standard for many post-grad specialties. I'd take P/F though simply for the reduction in stress.

Does anyone have a pdf for this guide book?

yea I don't see that in my adea guide...i have the 2015/2016 one

And I think the lean away from grades breeds more people to work together , like at Columbia where it's HPF , either everyone gets honors or no one does the whole class has to do well as a collective for the group to get honors otherwise it's just pass/fail I think, really stimulates team work instead of the cutthroat mentality that exists in a lot of other schools, I found that really interesting when I first heard about it

That's really interesting. I'm kind of meh over MWU AZ not being p/f because everyone I talked to that goes to a p/f school really enjoys it.

 

[personalstatementsbyeric]

I can't find this in the adea guide 2015/2016 - has anyone else found success in this?

 

[Toothout]

Lol thanks , I was like I'm pretty sure I've seen it

You probably saw it in the ASDA guidebook.

P/F certainly sounds like it would reduce A LOT of stress...

(keeps this in the back of my mind while applying to schools)
