What would you do?

Just finished the Fall Semester with 3 A's and 2 B+'s

My school allows me to replace any grade with a P. I will still get the credits but it won't effect my GPA

If I Pass the 2 B+'s my GPA will be a 3.88

If I don't pass the 2 B+'s my GPA will be a 3.81

Would you pass the two B+'s? Will it have a negative effect on my in the future if I choose one option over the other? Do Full Time employers even look at your Transcript?

I passed 2 classes this past Spring Semester as well

Thank you for your input!!

Pass them. Your GPA is great as is, but no reason to lower it if you can maintain the 3.88. Employers don't look at transcript except to confirm your degree/GPA are accurate

If you want to do MBA they might notice. 2 Ps is no big deal, but I wouldn't pass/fail if you did this with more than 1 class in the spring. Doing it on a limited basis during covid is common/acceptable.

 

it depends on the name of the class

if you take a pass for "Finance - Money and Banking" then you are screwed

if you take a pass for chemistry, then nobody will care

so, what are they?

just google it...you're welcome
