easy classes to improve GPA Forum

[dajja15]

I am planning on taking a couple easy classes at a local CC online to improve my GPA. I think its dumb I have to play this game but I am an engineer with a horrible GPA, and I am trying to improve it. I was wondering if people think its a dumb idea to take easy math classes, since I am engineer and have taken a TON of math. Will this be highly looked down upon by a admission committee. I suppose there are plenty of other easy classes to take, but math classes would be really easy.

Thanks for the help.

I am not an expert by any means, but from what I have gathered so far, those classes will not be included in your GPA according to LSAC. If you have already earned your bachelors, you can only use those grades. You could take other classes and supplement an addendum, but I am sure they will question why you would take easy math classes after earning a degree in engineering. I think you may want to look into a Masters and use those grades for your addendum.

As long as you have not graduated, it will apply to your GPA.

Boost your GPA, who cares if they know you're boosting it.

You can include an addendum about it.

Numbers matter, simple fact.

LS's care about numbers more than character defects

with that said, I think it will be a negative soft

this. however, I get the feeling that softs don't really matter unless they are 'outliers' on either side. Or maybe if it is toward the end of the cycle.

ok, thanks for the help. It would be a waste of money anyway, I will just take classes that I find interesting.
