Brown System

<p>With the way that Brown has it set up: Can you place Organic Chemistry on a Satisfactory/No Credit basis? Or more than likely, the professor wouldn’t allow it?</p>

<p>I think you are asking if you can take Orgo S/NC.</p>

<p>You can. Professors here do not have control over your choice of grade option, aside from having the right to make courses mandatory S/NC.</p>

<p>But it is probably rare for someone to do this. If you are applying to med school or grad school in science, they will want to see a grade. I suppose if you are headed for grad school in Classics, and just taking organic chemistry for fun then taking it without a grade is fine.</p>

<p>I know someone who took one of his orgo semesters S/NC, and was accepted at Harvard Medical School. Whether or not taking a class S/NC is acceptable, depends very much on context. If you do it to reduce pressure when you have four other really hard classes and don't abuse it, plus do very well in your other pre-med classes and rock the biological sciences portion of the MCAT, it won't matter much at all.</p>

<p>:-) yay...</p>

<p>and obviously PLMEs can take everything S/NC</p>

<p>are you being sarcastic? JW</p>

<p>me? No, PLMEs are already in medical school, as long as they take the pre-med requirements, a passing grade is all they need.</p>

<p>oh....ok :-)</p>
