How would a pass or fail this semester impact B-school admission and FT recruiting?

I’m currently a Junior who got an offer with a Tier 2 consulting firm next summer, and want to recruit for MBB for FT and apply for deferred admission for B-School Currently taking 4 classes, but because of COVID & being RA for two professors, I wanna p/f a philosophy class that’s not related to my major (I’m a math major) Does anyone know how would this impact FT recruitment/b-school application?

Yah I should probably just drop it earlier. The problem is I think this is really an interesting class, I want to stay but at the same time don’t want it to hurt my grade, which is a 3.96

 

strongly doubt any b-school would fault you for taking all p/f this semester. but since you're taking just ONE class p/f, it would be a little sus. so i'd recommend all p/f or all graded

 

Thanks for the input. I was taking that class for fun anyway, and since it’s a seminar I found it quite hard to engage through zoom. Because of that plus the RA work I have, I wanna take it as p/f. Wondering if this sounds like a solid reason?
