Percentages are of the 862 letter grades. Grey bars are non-letter outcomes: incompletes (I) and no report (NR).
How the non-letter outcomes are counted
They are excluded from the GPA entirely rather than scored, because counting a P as a 4.0 would be a fabrication.

Why Predicted is not the Raw average
“Predicted” is shrunk toward the course average, which is itself shrunk toward the department, so an instructor with a handful of students sits near the course mean rather than topping the list.
Grade records describe outcomes. For what a course is like to take, read student reviews written on dibs below or follow the separate external review link.

Read from 64 reviews 17 days ago. dibs counts only what a review actually states, so a kind of work nobody mentioned is absent rather than zero.
What comes first
The chain dibs can see is 6 courses long before MECH&AE 105D. Read from Fall 2026, because dibs has not read a class page for MECH&AE 105D in Summer Session A 2026 and a department can change what it requires. This is a floor, not a deadline: dibs has not read a class page for CHEM 20B and MATH 3B, so the real chain can only be longer than this, never shorter.
Counted in courses rather than quarters: dibs does not know which of them a department lets you take together.
