Transferring and Mandatory P/NP

Post by Anonymous User » Fri Mar 27, 2020 2:15 pm

How might alternative grading schemes affect transferring? Do you think will schools rely solely on first semester grades (making the process more competitive in terms of GPA) or will schools place more weight on other factors such as ranking and soft factors? I imagine that admission departments may themselves be unsure at this point...

Why would this make it more competitive? Wouldn't it make it less competitive?
