The Application Process

Pretty straightforward question:

I am taking several math courses before applying, to both strengthen my application and brush up on math concepts. Will be taking Statistics, Calculus, and probably Accounting.

Does it matter if I take these courses pass/fail? Or should I take them for a letter grade? I assume it doesn't matter much, but I can't find any opinion on the subject.

Thoughts?

I did this and I would say that if you have the option of taking it for a letter grade then do so but make sure that you get that A. When i went through the application process I had adcom members tell me that the A was more beneficial than pass/fail. Think about it in terms of them comparing you to others with similar backgrounds or situations. That's how I looked at the app process. How can I position myself BEST when being compared to other applicants? An A in those classes would appear "better" than pass/fail. With that being said, it does say something about an applicant who decides to take supplemental classes.

Thanks guys. Went with the letter grade. Now, gotta make sure I get that "A"...
