Is "pass/failing" a class bad for students in college who want to transfer?

<p>I am currently in college and I am planning to transfer at the end of this academic year. These were my final grades:</p>

<p>A
A
A
A-
B-</p>

<p>GPA = 3.66</p>

<p>In my Major courses I have a 4.0, if that means anything in the admissions process.
The B- was an economic history class. However, it does not count as a major course for me.</p>

<p>However, if I were to "pass/fail" my B- I would have had a 3.91 GPA. So which looks better?</p>

<p>A 3.66 with no pass/fail classes
A 3.91 with one pass/fail class</p>

<p>In your case I would keep the B-, its not a bad grade, and 3.6 is a good GPA. I don’t think there is anything wrong with one pass/fail, but I would recommend it to those that can’t get better than a C in the course. </p>

<p>I don’t think it makes a big difference either way. Once the course it finished, it would be unusual if you could the grading to pass/fail.</p>
