Pass Fail this sem?
I’m a junior and have a IBD SA lined up for this summer. currently my gpa is pretty solid, a 3.9+ but my school has made pass fail the default grading system. I am wondering should I switch some of my classes to a letter grade? I am decently confidently I can get an A in some of them, but I am worried that there is little upside. Would have passes on your transcript look worse for a potential MBA down the line instead of trying to get As. I know it would be a lot easier to just take the Passes and not stress and cruise into FT recruiting with a 3.9, but would there be any advantage to trying to get As this semester- all I can think of is for possible MBA admissions?
Looks more suspect if you have some P/F and some letter grades -- whoever looks at your transcript will wonder why you didn't select THOSE classes for graded as well. Easy solution, since you don't need GPA boost, is to take all P/F. Down the line, no one will question why you have a semester of P/F man.
thanks that’s kinda what u was leaning towards doing just wanted some reassurance
I was originally going to take all my classes P/F this semester, thinking the exact same rationale (taking everything P/F during rona' looks less sus than selectively having some classes P/F and others not.) I'm now thinking of taking 1 class P/F and 4 classes for a grade because I'm confident I can get an A in those 4 classes.
Similar to OP, I have a high GPA so the 4 As will only help by a minuscule amount (like 0.02 difference while still being within 3.8(x) or 3.9(x)).
I wonder how 1 P/F and 4 classes for a grade will look for MBA?
Do you go to Baruch?

That’s lame that you had to decide early on in the semester. My school is letting people decide after grades are posted. I think all schools should’ve done this
Damn that's nuts hahaha
yeah, it would have been real nice to wait until later on to decide...oh well
