Hello,
I am currently a 4th year student at University of Toronto and the school offers a credit/no credit option for up to 2.0 credits. This option allows students to freely take coursework (up to the 2 credits) and learn new topics without allowing a poor mark in those classes to damage your GPA.
On the transcript, it shows as CR (which means you scored above 50%) or No Credit - it does not list the actual grade.
I have never used this option but I was wondering if this would damage one's chances when applying to a top US Business School for a MBA Program.
Thanks!

Hi there,
If the rest of your transcript & academic performance was strong I wouldn't see this as any potential issue, and it's not a large # of credits etc.
