P/F classes

Basically I got all A’s this semester (one A-), except one class where I got a B-. I have a very high GPA so I can not take the B-, or it will kill my gpa. My school has the option to p/f any class I want, so should I just make the B- class a pass, or should I p/f all of them to make it look it my school had mandatory pass/fail?

just the B-, do whatever to make GPA as high as possible. when you initially reach out to network all they’ll see is GPA. not even all places ask for transcript in application but all certainly do see GPA. Even if it is brought up, just say some bullshit about the materially not translating well in an out of class setting so you passed instead of going for the grade

 

Just because you make all your classes pass/fail doesn’t mean recruiters will assume that’s how the school operates as there will be other students who don’t use the p/f option. I’d consider p/f for the B- only, definitely keep all the A’s and the A-.
