TLDR: Can I get acceptances/scholarships rescinded for taking a math class I don't need for my degree pass/fail?
Hi all,
I'm currently in a class due to research interests, and I'm really not enjoying the format (a lot of grading is from whole-group work, so the grade does not always reflect individual aptitude). It's causing me a lot of stress, and I think I'd rather just take it pass/fail than worry about it really hurting my GPA or withdrawing at the end of the semester if I get a C (I have a 4.0 and some acceptances/scholarships that I am afraid to lose if there's suddenly a drop in academics). Is there some reason this is an inadvertently bad idea I'm just not seeing, or is this an OK course of action? Or maybe I should just suck it up and be OK with a B or C?
