Taking half of classes Pass/Fail?

I am a second-year student who was able to transfer to a target public school. My school has allowed the option to take any classes Pass/Fail, but I have to decide which classes by Friday night. Initially, I thought I would be fine taking 16 credits, but it's starting to wear me down. I'm doing well in my classes, except for one, but I want to keep as good of a GPA as I can, especially coming from a new school. If I took 9 credits for P/F and got A's in my other classes, would that reflect poorly on me in recruiting? How bad would that be for someone who might want to pursue an MBA in the future?

 

the impact on recruiting will be close to zero, if not zero. not totally sure about mba but if you are applying mba after a few years of working, also would not worry about it at all. 

 

Won't have an impact on recruiting. Could have an impact on MBA applications because it's assumed that this was only acceptable last semester, when everyone's semester got massively disrupted
