Hi Menachem. You have a few issues going on here. I'll try to give you clues so you can fix it instead of just giving you the answer. First you are comparing this.gpa with 'Senior' or 'Junior'. You need to use this.level instead. Second if the IF statement is true you want this.major = to the major passed in not this.major. And Third if the IF statement is false you just want to set this.major to 'None'. Hope this helps and if you need more help be sure to post back to the Community. Good Luck!

Thank you very much! This really helped me out.
