Taking 3 classes pass fail as a senior
Hey all I’ve opted to take a required Chem class, a one credit class about beer, and one social entrepreneurship class for pass fail. Now that I think about it, is it a bad look? They aren’t directly finance related, but I hope it won’t impact grad school or mba admissions. I realize I could’ve gotten an A in the social entrepreneurship class about food insecurity, but I used my one pass fail that I could use on a core curriculum class on it since I never used it before and thought I deserved a p chill senior year after I secured a return from an EB this summer. For context, this I can pass fail only one core class, which the social entrepreneur class falls under. This would be my last core class requirement so I figured I might as well use it on this since I took everything else for a grade.
In other words I am taking two distribution requirements pass fail and one core class pass fail this semester, since I had the option to and haven’t done it before. Obv I can’t change the grading scheme now, but I’m wondering if I should take extra grades classes next semester to compensate? Or am I overthinking how this will impact my future?
My gpa is over 4.0 but I hope it doesn’t look like I’m slacking off since only 3 of classes will be graded this sem
You are 100% overthinking this.
You have a GPA over 4.0....chill man you're doing just fine lol
Hey there! Based on the most helpful WSO content, it seems like you're in a pretty solid position. You've got a stellar GPA and a return offer from an EB, which is fantastic. As for your pass/fail classes, it's important to remember that we're in the midst of a global pandemic, and many universities have adjusted their grading policies accordingly.
In the case of MBA admissions, they're likely to be understanding of this. They're looking for a combination of strong academic performance, impressive work experience, and leadership skills. You've already proven your academic prowess with your GPA, and your work experience speaks for itself.
As for taking extra graded classes next semester to compensate, it's not necessarily a bad idea if you feel up to it, but it might not be strictly necessary. You've already shown that you can handle a rigorous academic workload.
Remember, it's your senior year. It's okay to take a breather, especially after securing a return offer. Just keep up the good work, and continue to show your dedication and commitment in your other classes.
And hey, a class about beer doesn't sound too bad either! Enjoy your senior year, you've earned it!
