[00:00:14.560]We recommend that a student take
[00:00:16.440]a more difficult course and earn a B
[00:00:18.920]and be more prepared than to take a less intense course
[00:00:22.125]and an earn an B but be less prepared.
[00:00:25.440]We definitely look at the institutions that a student
[00:00:28.160]has attended as well as the courses taken at each.
[00:00:36.380]Well, if it's only one or two courses,
[00:00:39.150]it's probably not that big of a deal,
[00:00:41.170]but if we were to see a pattern of withdrawals
[00:00:44.860]on a transcript then we might wanna look
[00:00:47.810]more closely into what's going on.
[00:00:49.610]It might cause us some pause.
[00:00:51.288]But we would invite students to give us an explanation
[00:00:55.115]for why they may have needed to
[00:00:57.050]withdraw from a number of courses,
[00:00:59.150]and we would, of course, take that into consideration.
[00:01:06.883]I think it depends on the class.
[00:01:09.464]If you take in a class pass/no pass
[00:01:12.294]because it's a difficult class
[00:01:14.270]and the Admissions Committee were to see that
[00:01:16.260]you were taking a really tough class pass/no pass
[00:01:19.785]that might cause some pause.
[00:01:21.480]Might make us think, why does this student
[00:01:24.070]not want to take the class for credit?
[00:01:26.151]But if it's one class,
[00:01:27.560]and it's an elective kind of class,
[00:01:30.234]that wouldn't be a big deal.
[00:01:33.344]Even if you do have some of these things
[00:01:35.076]on your transcript, go ahead and apply.
[00:01:37.240]Wayne Gretzky famously said you're gonna miss
[00:01:40.167]100% of the shots you don't take, so take the shot.
[00:01:43.760]If the Admissions Committee has a question,
[00:01:45.360]they're gonna come back and ask you for clarification
[00:01:47.460]so go ahead and apply.
