hhn127 Posted May 3, 2012 Share Posted May 3, 2012 I had a question about whether or not it's necessary to list ALL pending courses, even if they're not prerequisites. For example, I'm enrolled in pharmacology for the summer. It's not a prerequisite for any school but am I required to still list it? Does it look bad if I have too many pending courses?

crystaltide Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 I will also have some pending classes that are recommended by some schools, but not required by any. I'm not really worried about it, since I think it shows initiative to continue taking classes past the requirements. Not sure if that's actually true though.

pnch40 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I agree with crystaltide on this one. It shows you have an increased interest in succeeding in a PA program. But to answer your question I would include it on CASPA as it's not a required course. Makes sense to me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsmitty33 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 what do you think about retakes? I plan on retaking gen chem II and organic I. should I list those as pending on CASPA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackjacks Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 I think you should list everything, shows the school you're still involved in academics. Looks especially good if you're working, shows time management. I'd even list if I was taking some fluff class like "Meditation 101" :) Edit: I'd almost say especially retakes. That shows that you were not satisfied with your performance the first time and want to master the material. Definitely, definitely if the classes were required with above any certain grade as a prereq and you didn't make that grade the first time.
