Exchange semester help
Hello people,I would like to get an advice.
As I am planning an exchange semester abroad for the upcoming fall semester, I need to pick-up courses which I will take there. My own university allows to transfer credits but the grades will be transferred as either pass or fail. The grades such as, "A" or "B" will only be written in the transcript but as I said it will be mentioned that they are pass/fail alongside the letter grade.
I study Business administration which has 3 finance core courses; principles of finance, financial investments, and corporate finance. Principles of finance is a prerequisite in my uni to take other 2 finance courses.In exchange in order to maintain high GPA (exchange courses don't affect cumulative GPA) and in general to get better exposure to finance, I am planning to take all these 3 finance courses while being in exchange. The uni will drop prereq of not taking principles of finance beforehand as I am an exchange student and I already have work experience in finance.
My concerns are the following, while applying to masters, will my transcript of having 3 finance courses at the same time with pass/fail grade, create an issue for me? Additionally, would taking course like corporate finance as well as its usually prerequisite course (principles of finance) at the same time create problems?
Looking forward for comments.
It won’t matter for your masters that you took these pass/fail. Also, the degree granting institution probably won’t show the grade. The grade is likely only shown on the transcript from the other exchange school.
Thanks!
But what about me taking these 3 courses at the same time? Like I will take corporate finance and the principles of finance (basic finance) at the same time. However, in normal case I should first take principles of finance and then corporate finance.
These courses aren’t that hard. It’s not like the Math progression of Calculus 1, 2, 3. You should be fine taking them at the same time.
Yeah, I dont mind taking them at the same time. I mind whether people in admission committee will look at my transcript and perceive it strangely.
It won’t seem strange - they won’t even notice.
Thanks a lot!
Absolutely no problem and not weird to any admissions teams. Totally normal to do exchange classes pass fail.
