Pass No Credit Option

[kk23]

<p>Hi, </p>

<p>I'm currently taking a upper level course that's not related to my major and doing really bad. My advisor said I had an option to make the grading a Pass/Fail Option.</p>

<p>Other than that 1 course, I have all A's in my other classes.</p>

<p>I want to transfer to an Ivy/Top School</p>

<ol>
<li>How bad would this look to my prospective transfer colleges?</li>
</ol>

<p>Thanks to any one who helps me out.</p>

<p>While it may not hurt, I think it negates the positive impact of taking an upper level course, as the only thing a P tells adcoms is that you haven’t gotten a D or F. But if it’s between P/F and a poor grade, then it is definitely the better option.</p>
