Pass/No Pass Corporate Finance
Hey Everyone,
I am currently an Economics student at my university. I am taking corporate finance which is NOT required for my major, but is basically for building a background for recruiting.
I have a high GPA but this semester, the business school (which I'm not in) has implemented a new strict curve. I didn't know this until I enrolled. Even though I find the material understandable, the curve has made it almost impossible to get an A. In absolute terms, my grade is in the 90%'s, but the curve makes little points screw my grade up.
Would it be better for recruiting purposes to maintain my high GPA, with a Pass on my transcript for the class, or get a B (which is what I see happening at this point)? I intend on taking more advanced classes in finance afterwards, for which this is a pre-req.
Any advice is much appreciated!

I'm sure the first corporate finance class at every school may be a little bit different, but in the end it's still corporate finance. And it's not difficult. Just study man, you're going to have to know the basics/fundamentals anyway. Especially if you're not a finance major.
Pass/NP it. Inflate your GPA and explain why you did this to your interviewers. At my B-school 15% of kids are allowed to get an A. Unless you are in the library 130 hours a week, theres no chance of snagging an A.
^ i go to the same school as you.
