<p>How do employers who look at your undergrad transcript (such as consulting firms) see P/NP? </p>

<p>How common in general is it for employers to look at transcripts? </p>

<p>Will they care that much if you have two or three classes taken as P/NP?</p>

<p>I would say no because the only classes you usually take P/NP are usually GE courses which they don’t care about. But I’m sure someone here with more experience on the matter would know more than me :)</p>

<p>Well, if it’s on your transcript and you give it to them, then they’ll definitely see it. I’ve never had an employer ask for a transcript though; things like resumes and CVs (which list little more than your major and cumulative GPA, maybe cum laude if you got it) are preferred.</p>

<p>They won’t care much about the irrelevant classes. Each college is different, for all they know the school only offered P/NP classes. </p>

<p>[Did you know? All MIT freshmen have their first semester classes graded on a P/NR system]</p>

<p>I can name a number of other facets that are inevitably more important than taking a few classes P/NP. I wouldn’t worry.</p>

<p>I never had an employer ask for a transcript–only a few asked for a GPA, and I’m not even sure if they verified it through the registrar or not.</p>

<p>I’m assuming that if that class has nothing to do with your major they won’t care too much. Some companies will ask for a transcript, but that’s pretty rare and mostly just with the bigger companies.</p>
