Does anyone know about having a "p" on your transcript?

Does anyone know if having a "p" on your transcript for your physical science class is bad? I'm applying to graduate school for Speech Pathology...and I have a "p" for my physical science course....I ACTUALLY GOT A B+ though...does anyone know how to REVOKE the p? also graduate schools ask what grade you got in your physical science class...any advice?? GREATLY appreciated!!

Are you sure that the final grade designation for that class wasn't pass/fail? I had a class like that where we got letter grades in class, but the course was graded pass/fail and my transcript reads as a "p." Just ask your advisor and the office where your transcripts are kept.

yes at the time i chose to p/nc the class because I didn't want it to affect my GPA...not thinking about the latter... and how it would affect me now! I know it definitely comes up as a P on my transcript...anyone know how to revoke this? or if grad schools will accept this?

The best course of action you can take is to go to the Registrar and ask about the policy at your university, as the policies surrounding pass/fail courses may differ. At my university in particular, you cannot change the designation after getting a final grade. The basic premise of a P/F course is that the final grade doesn't matter as long as you pass the class.
