<p>I’ve only seen it listed as a requirement in two places (I think), which is for Harvard DMS and for Berkeley MCB. If you didn’t pass Calc III, you certainly don’t want to take P Chem; so it’s probably not going to help you much even if you do take it.</p>
<p>I believe there was a discussion here a while back about this (the importance of taking p chem), and I don’t believe a consensus was reached. You may find the thread if you search for it.</p>
