For or Against P/NP classes?

Im planning on transferring this fall, but I was wondering if anyones ever been negatively affected for transferring for taking Pass/No Pass classes. For example, being rescinded, having to make up the class…etc.

I’ve only taken 1 class P/NP so far and I think it puts me at about 6% of my credits being P/NP. This quarter im taking a history class that seems kind of tough (although ratings say that hes supposedly easy). Im pretty sure I would end up with a B in the class, but we havent turned anything in yet so its hard to tell.

But anyways, I know that most UCs have that more than 20-25% of your total credits can’t be P/NP grading. Do you guys have any experience with taking multiple P/NP classes? Would I ever get rescinded because i decided to take some of my GEs P/NP? Im just considering the option at the moment

As a side question, does anyone know how P/NP classes look to grad schools? Ive heard from different people that grad schools will look at all classes with P as Cs and all classes with NP as Fs and ive also heard that grad schools dont care about classes that don’t have to do with ur major at all.
