How do colleges look at a pass?

<p>If a course is on your transcript, and it says pass - is it looked heavily down upon? I heard a rumor that any pass is considered an automatic D or something like that. (btw, i retook a spanish class to replace a b w/ an a - so now the first time it says 'P' and the second time it says 'A' - stupid i kno)</p>

<p>Colleges don't look too favorably at passes since, technically, a D or C is considered passing. It doesn't show how well you passed, or something, I guess.</p>
