Pass / Failing vs. taking the grade

<p>Is it bad to pass/fail a course that's not related to your major? I'm a freshman economics major with a 3.5 and am enrolled in a course which I am predicting I will get a B- (Intro to Psych) in (I have As in the rest of my classes this semester). More importantly, I may apply to transfer in the near future. Should I follow through and do a late application for pass.fail or just accept this grade?</p>

<p>Intro to Psych is pretty easy and interesting (I’m actually a Psych major) wherever you go, so don’t think you’ll get a B-! It is definitely achievable to get an A or A- (unless if psych is just really not your thing/you have a HORRIBLE professor).</p>

<p>I think you should take it as a grade. Actually, isn’t there a deadline or something about that? If you have that option, then just see how it goes after a few weeks. If you truely think you’ll get a grade that will lower your GPA, then switch to pass/fail. If you think you’ll do fine, then keep it as a regular grade. </p>

<p>I hope that helps!</p>

<p>I thought it would be easy but in a class of 500, the average grade is a C+</p>
