For or Against P/NP classes?

Thanks guys.

@zimzam im doing a UC-UC transfer so im at a UC right now. Are you taking upper div classes yet? Are you still taking GE classes with ur upper divs?

We’re able to take 25% of my total credits by the time i graduate which means i could potentially take up to about 45-50 credits P/NP. Obviously, i wont be taking like 10 classes P/NP but I was wondering how many “useless” classes i would still be taking after my sophmore year (after my GEs are finished and my pre-reqs are basically all done).

Next year is the beginning of my 3rd year which means lots of upper div series and classes. How many people still take nonmajor classes (for example, history or philosophy classes) if theyre like a physics or bio or chem major? I was prepared to just be taking 3 pre-reqs and rest upper divs next year and no non-major related courses at all.

Also, how is a P vs a B? I know usually B doesnt look that bad, but my gpa would definitely take a hit if I ended up with a B in any class. Is it still worth it to get the B or should i take a P?

Thanks again.
