Yep, Michigan definitely does recalculate GPAs (my unweighed was not quite a 3.97, but I still got in
). They also constantly stress that they consider course load, the schools where the classes were taken, etc. rather than strictly looking at GPA on its own. I'd guesstimate that doing robotics probably would outweigh the difference in GPA, if it's a deciding factor for some students. Pass/Fail seems like a reasonable compromise, although if I'm a college, I'm wondering why the student took that class Pass/Fail rather than for a grade (and I'm not sure I'd be thrilled with "so their GPA would be higher").
