<p>I am taking a graduate level Corporate Tax class this semester as an undergraduate to help prepare for the CPA exam (skipping a Masters in Accounting). However, I am considering going to a top MBA once I have the necessary work experience. How do the elite MBA programs view Pass/Fail classes on a transcript? I did one this past semester in Individual Tax and would have made an "A" in the class had I not done it P/F. </p>
<p>I already have a very full course load for this semester, so taking Corporate Tax Pass/Fail would at least take some weight off my shoulders. However, I do not want to do this if it will potentially reflect negatively on myself. </p>
<p>Lastly, due to me skipping a Masters in Accounting, I am taking two online classes Pass/Fail on top of being a full-time student at another college. I am solely taking these other two classes for credit hours to reach 150 hours. If Pass/Fail is that big of a deal to MBA admissions, I hope that my reasoning behind just needing credit to sit for the exam is suitable. </p>
<p>I don't think this will harm me, but I want to get the opinions from those who are more educated on the MBA admissions process.</p>
<p>If it matters, here is a brief profile: I have a 3.9+, go to a top 40 liberal arts school, will have my CPA certification by the time I apply for an MBA, and I will be working in consulting at the Big 4. </p>
<p>Thanks for the help!</p>
