So this is my last semester of undergrad and I'm planning on applying to grad school next fall. I really want to finish with a strong gpa and my school is offering students the ability to p/f any class and it will still count towards graduation requirements. I'm having a really tough time in a couple classes and I'm really considering p/f them but I'm not sure how that will look to grad schools? I know it's during a pandemic but do you think it will affect my chances of getting in?
Edit for context: I'm planning on applying for a PhD in political science. The two courses I'm thinking about p/f are a music gen ed and an upper level econ course (econ is my second major). I'm extra concerned because I already have two Ws (both were for legitimate reasons - an advisor told me to take a course I had actually already received credit for and the other is when I decided to extend my thesis work so I switched the class but it shows up as a W) and I know that already doesn't look good.
