How bad does pass/no pass classes look on your transcript for grad school?

My school allows me to take certain lower division courses as a pass/no pass grading option, but I do not know if I should because I don't know how grad schools would interpret it. If someone can give me some advice, I would really appreciate it. Thanks!How bad does pass/no pass classes look on your transcript for grad school?
Don't do it for classes that look like they would have been particularly difficult, or for anything in the area(s) you are thinking of going to grad school in. You can probably get by with one or two, but most schools would prefer to see actual grades. Keep the pass/fail for that class you took just because it sounded intriguing, but which was completely outside your area of interest.How bad does pass/no pass classes look on your transcript for grad school?
I'm told that as long as they are few, not in your major, and not related to what you want to study in grad school, it's no big deal. Don't have to many (1 or 2--3 tops), don't have any in important classes (which your advisor should stop you from anyhow).





Plus, realize that the quality of your school as accessed by the grad school is way more important. The next thing is to have a bunch of high level courses on your tran--they higher the numbers, the more they like it (even though its a total crock and most high level courses are more narrow than they are rigorous).
Well, it really shouldn't matter as long as you have above a 3.0 GPA and do well on the GRE. Even though it isd a lower division course, doesn't mean it's not beneficial to your learning- and they will take that into account.
You should take as little pass/fail classes as you can. It looks like you got all d's and c's to graduate schools, just accept the letter grade.
