Hi all,
So like most other schools, my undergrad is allowing us to designate any course pass/ fail. My question kinda differs from the other numerous posts because I'm thinking of taking all of my classes this semester as pass/fail. I've already finished my premed prereqs, and all my classes this semester are electives in my non-science major.
My home environment isnt the most conducive to studying, and to be honest, as a second semester senior, I'm pretty devastated on losing out on what had been the most fun semester of college so far. I know saying that sounds very entitled with a worldwide pandemic going on, but my point is that I'm not really in the best head space and environment to be studying hard for my classes.
So here's the question, I dont want to take advantage of the P/F changes just to hide the classes where I might not get an A. As such, would it be advisable to just take all of my classes P/F? I feel as though it would be strange to designate some but not all of my classes pass/fail this semester, as it would seem very obvious that one is hiding bad grades. I feel as though it would be better to just designate all of my classes pass/fail, and essentially never have taken this semester, as I've already finished all my prereqs. Would that be even stranger? Would med schools be understanding of the situation as long as I explain myself?
