Should I take this course Pass/Fail?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

Hi,

I’m currently a high school sophomore, and I decided this year to take an online PE course. Unfortunately, I didn’t realize how much time it would take up. I currently have a D in that class because I haven’t had time to do my workouts, which are 90 minutes/week. Because of that, I’m considering taking it on a P/F basis so that it doesn’t affect my GPA (I currently have all As except for a B+ in AP Chem and a B in BC calculus.) Should I do it? I feel like colleges might not care so much about a P/F PE class, but they would care about getting a C or D in a PE class.

I’m also doing marching band, which takes up the bulk of my time, but that ends soon, so I might not have to do P/F, but since I can always change back to the normal grading system, I think it might be a good precaution to take. On the other hand, though, It might look suspicious if I decide to keep it P/F to colleges.

Eh, I’d say just do the P/F, but only because it’s a PE class.

At my school, all PE classes are automatically P/F. I don’t think it would really hurt you at all to make it P/F.
