Does it look bad if you "Pass/Fail" a class?

[FaithBuild18]

So this semester has been a little rough because of all the hoopla with going to interviews and filling out military forms. I'm pretty sure my gpa is going to take a small hit. I have the option to pass/fail a few of my classes since neither are requirements for pre-dent or my major.

Will it look bad if I pass/fail these classes? Would it be better if I take the C's/B's and suffer the slight hit? I calculated the effect on my cumulative GPA, it would decrease by roughly .1 from a 3.8 to a 3.7 if I took the C's/B's. P/F would mean my GPA won't take a hit. My concern however isn't so much with the GPA as it is with the fact that it's senior year and it looks like I slacked off this semester, and I don't want any potential acceptance letters being revoked.

So what looks worse between a B or C and a big fat P?

I did it! I p/f history because my prof gave us ridicous True-false tests based on his opinion. I would suggest p/f one or 2 tops as long as it has nothing to do with science, dentistry, or math. A P looks better than a C or B in my view. I was going to get an A- and still p/f ed.

Does Econ have anything to do with dentistry?

The other class in question IS a science class, but it's a graduate course for PhD students, it's not something that I ever was or ever will be required to take, just something I took because I thought the subject matter was interesting.

I think you should p/f the econ class and withdraw from the science class. How many credits are you taking? If it still adds up to over 12 you are golden. If you are a science major, you really should p/f a science class. In my college, they don't allow you but they do make exceptions.
