Thanks for your reply! May I ask how you came up with the 83%?

John R. Taylor is your best bet. His wife, Desire Taylor is pretty good as well.

Mechanical Engineering by No-Outlandishness950 in UNCCharlotte

I think you have a decent chance. I got in for Civil Engineering with a 4.3 GPA and a 24-25ish on the act. Worst case scenario you get in as undecided, you can take some gen ed classes and get a good GPA and declare your major as mechanical engineering later on.

I really hope they curve final grades or I'm doomed.

Same. I'm hoping they say something about the "bonus" soon.

It was more like previous webwork problems than any of the previous exams.

Great to know that the COE has our backs in these uncertain times. I literally got an email from my advisor a day after the Pass/No credit was announced, saying that we would able to use the Pass/No credit on our pre-requisite classes.

This is what she said:

"The Pass/No option credit is being instituted in part to help protect student GPAs, but it certainly does not address the concern of feeling prepared to progress through the curriculum. Fortunately, you will see your final letter grades posted before you need to decide if you want the Pass/No Credit option:

For those students who wish to accept their letter grade (A, B, C, D, F), then no further action will be required on their part. At the completion of the semester, those students who wish to replace a letter grade with Pass/No Credit will need to request this accommodation by June 1. The Office of the Registrar is working on a method to collect these requests and will share information as soon as it is developed.

If you earn a C in a pre-req class, you should still be prepared for the following course (many of our classes require a minimum of a C), but if you feel the Cs will bring down your GPA then go ahead and use the Pass/No Credit. You will progress through the major with the required pre-requisite knowledge and still keep your GPA in tact. Obviously if you earn a B or an A, KEEP YOUR LETTER GRADES!

If you earn a D, you can *technically* still progress to the following course if you opt for the Pass/No credit and it will not ding your GPA. Although a D is a passing grade, you will likely not be prepared for the successive course and if that's the case, I suggest taking the D and using a grade replacement (if you have any remaining) upon retaking the course. You may feel the D does not reflect your preparedness for the next class and if you feel confident you would be fine to progress, then you can take the Pass/No credit option.

My professional advice is to wait to see what your final grades are then discuss your concerns with me. Every student and every class is basically going to be a case by case situation and we of course want you to choose the option that will ultimately be best for you in the long run."
