I was wondering if anyone knows how grad schools / employers look at P/F classes on transcripts. As many schools are introducing a P/F option for undergrads, would electing to make a business class that you perhaps didn’t do well in a P/F to increase your GPA for that semester be worth it?

Some universities made it mandatory P/F while others gave the students the choice (that is, P/F is an option for students to choose before certain deadline). P/F courses don’t count towards GPA calculation, I heard. Employers may not be checking the transcripts so closely and some on the forum have believe that grad schools will not care about P/F either. I think it is reasonable to assume that for those who are in a good position to get an A, it is suboptimal to choose P/F.. However, I understand why many would opt for the option.
Not sure how it works at different schools, but we can only take a P/F for gen eds that have nothing to do with your major. I don't think banks care if you have a P in your theater class tbh.
Wasn't there another thread about this recently? In normal time, people are bound to ask questions if you have P/F classes on your undergrad transcript for obvious reasons.
However, we are currently NOT living in normal time. As far as I am aware, going P/F is extremely prevalent this semester, again for obvious reasons, so given a significant % of colleges students are going to have those in their transcripts, nobody is going to care. I honestly see zero benefits in trying to get an actual grade this semester, it's not going to make you look any better than your fellow classmates who went P/F.
What if you actually fail a P/F class? Do you think banks care and rescind your offer if you have one?
Failing a class in college is always a red flag, whether is P/F or graded.
