<p>If you’re planning on using calc to fulfill admission requirements (as in 2 semesters of college level math), courses taken P/F will not be accepted.</p>

<p>WOWM,</p>

<p>Would you have the source for that? I am just wondetring that AP credits do not have grades either.</p>

<p>TMDSAS requirements:</p>

<p>

Each required course, listed in the table below, must be completed with a grade of C or better. Courses taken Pass/Fail or Credit/No Credit will not count towards meeting the requirement.

“Is it all right to take premed requirements Pass/Fail?”
No. Many medical schools will not consider any pass/fail courses as fulfilling premedical requirements.

<p>University of Louisville SOM website</p>

<p>

A year is defined as a minimum of 32 weeks. All courses applied to the premedical requirements must include laboratory work. Applicants must receive a letter grade for all courses required; reporting pass/fail is not acceptable.

<p>You can check the admission websites for specific med school (or the MSAR), but I’m pretty sure that most med schools will NOT consider P/F grades for required pre-reqs</p>

The issue with P/F (or C/NC) grading is that a D is passing—and med schools will NOT accept any grade below a C as fulfilling pre-reqs</p>

<p>AP/IB credits are an entirely different situation. Colleges require a 3 (generally considered equivalent to a C) or better to grant AP credit.</p>

</p>

<p>At some schools, a P includes A through C grades but not D grades.</p>

<p>But that does not really matter, since P/{F,NP,NC,etc.} grading options obscure the differences between A (acceptable), B (bad), and C (collapse) that medical schools care about.</p>
