<p>I have the option to take my chem course course credit/no credit (our version of pass/fail); otherwise, I’m probably looking at “C,” so bad but not as bad as it could be, I guess I switched my major to a program that requires another chem. sequence, so I still have a chance to “prove” myself in chem and even the option to take ochem in the future. Would it be disadvantegous for professional school apps. (which requre chem sequence 2, intro/bio&basic organic in one year if any chem at al [many don’t require it]l) if I took the C/NCR option in this class and did well in everything else (A or A- range) this semester and well in future chem classes?</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>If the graduate program you want to go to requires applicants to have taken that chemistry sequence then it definitely looks bad.
If it’s something unrelated to that then I don’t think it hurts much.</p>
<p>This is something I would be considering if I had a B- or above. But when I’m in C territory I would jump to take the p/f and just make sure I ace the rest of the chem sequence. </p>
<p>note: Make sure you don’t slack off after registering p/f - you definitely definitely definitely don’t want an f.</p>
<p>It’s a different cchem sequence (1 year gen. vs. gen/bio chem in one year), and most of schools don’t even require chem at all, and those that do only require something like the 2nd sequence.</p>
<p>definitely take the p/f then. I don’t think it will hurt you at all. If you want you can allways quickly stop by your graduate advising office and ask them (I guessing this is for med school?).</p>
<p>Occupational therapy school, actually.</p>
<p>Thanks for the reply.</p>
