Pass/No Pass for a major pre-req

Hey CC,

I have a question regarding Pass/No pass grades for major requirements.

I intend to major in MCB (I am a sophomore).

My first semester I took Chem 1A as Pass/No pass and decided not to pass it on purpose so that I would be able to retake it the next semester for a letter grade and receive credit.
The second time around, I got an A in Chem 1A, so does that count towards my major?
I changed the grading the first time because I did not want an F or a D on my transcript.
Does it matter that I took the class as P/NP?
Have I redeemed myself not that I retook the course?

Has anyone had a similar experience?
