for anyone attending a pass/fail school, how do you think it helps or hinders your performance in school? do you think it makes things more laid back, or is competition among students just as strong or stronger?

i am trying to figure out if pass/fail schools are that much better and whether they will be something i would really enjoy. any feed back would be great. thanks

It's the same grading system with different letter grades.

e.g. UCLA: EP (A), P (B), MP (C), F (F)

I am pretty sure there are at least 2 or 3 more schools that have gone to the P/F, like PENN, USC?, probably more.

Penn is letter grade, only top 10 are ranked.
USC is also letter grade, but no ranking or grade is reported when applying to specialty.
