Duplicate of What effects (if any) do audited undergraduate courses have on graduate admissions? | |
| Sep 25, 2019 at 17:59 | comment | added | astronat supports the strike | Anecdotally, it seems that universities (or at least physics/astronomy departments) are starting to move away from requiring the GRE as part of their admissions process. So a high mark may not count for very much, depending on where you apply. | |

| Sep 25, 2019 at 14:33 | comment | added | Buffy | Some universities will permit you to take a course officially as a non-matriculated student (non-degree). Do that instead if it is available. You then will have an official grade, as well as the goad that pushes you to do the hard work to assure that you actually learn something. | |
| Sep 25, 2019 at 14:29 | comment | added | Buffy | I've voted to close, so won't answer officially. But I think that for admissions itself, auditing is worthless and a waste of your time. This is because no one can verify that you learned anything. You weren't evaluated in any way. For learning (not admission) it may be a different story and well worth it, but not for the admissions process itself. | |

| Sep 25, 2019 at 14:09 | comment | added | Nuclear Hoagie | You typically don't receive a grade for an audited course, so oftentimes, you won't even get a grade on individual assignments. It'll be tough to show the quality of your work if you have no evaluation of it, unless you're building a rapport with someone directly involved in admissions. | |
