if (major === 'Freshman' || major === 'Sophomore') { this._major = 'None'; } else

Wrong..?

creating_setters.js 
class Student {
    constructor(gpa, credits){
        this.gpa = gpa;
        this.credits = credits;
    }

    set major(major){
      if (major === 'Freshman' || major === 'Sophomore') {
        this._major = 'None';
      } else {
      this._major = major; 
      }
    }

    stringGPA() {
        return this.gpa.toString();
    }

    get level() {
        if (this.credits > 90 ) {
            return 'Senior';
        } else if (this.credits > 60) {
            return 'Junior';
        } else if (this.credits > 30) {
            return 'Sophomore';
        } else {
            return 'Freshman';
        }
    }
}

var student = new Student(3.9, 60);

Hi there, Sophie Creutz ! You are extremely close here. The problem is what you're comparing. A "major" is the major area of study like, "Computer Science", "Finance", "Accounting" etc. You are comparing the major to "Freshman" or "Sophomore", but those are ranks or levels that the student is at. So if the level of the student is "Freshman" or "Sophomore" give them a major of "None".

I think you can get it with this hint, but let me know if you're still stuck! :sparkles:

:bulb: Additional hint: you already have a function to get the level of the student :smiley:
