I have 12 letter grade units (Math 53, Econ 1, Physics 7A), and 1 P/NP unit (PACS 94) this semester. I’m considering pass/ no passing physics since I don’t need it for my major and it’s probably going to drag my GPA. Would 8 letter grade units and 5 P/NP units look better or worse than 12 letter grade units and 1 P/NP unit with a C for one of the letter grade classes?
Look better or worse for what purpose?
Applying for internships, and possibly Haas.
If you can’t handle it, P/NP it. You’ll be taking plenty of courses for letter grade in the future so it’s okay that 5 units of P/NP seems too much.
