challenge before undergrad graduation

Hi all,

Hope you all are having a good one. So, I'm about to get my bachelors and do plan on going to a business school in the future. As it stands, I have a solid GPA (3.8+), especially in terms of my major classes (Econ/Accounting)-majority A+'s. Recently, I picked up another minor (Spanish), and it has been more challenging than I had imagined. Long story short, I may end up with B's and C's, which will certainly taint my transcript (thus far the lowest grade I have is a B+). But, I really wanted to master my third language.

So, if I end up with horrible grades in those, will that drastically hurt my chances at top biz schools? Should I just drop the whole minor and turn them into pass no pass?

I suppose I can explain by saying I wanted to take on a different challenge and am now trilingual, despite the grades. At the same time, I feel like C is a C, regardless of the types of the classes.

Hope I can get some insight from ya'll.

 

and this is what's wrong with eduation...

personally I would take them pass/fail, it's not worth sacrificing your GPA over.

I agree but at some point, you gotta play the game according to the rules...
