Is it bad if I don't take organic chemistry? Advice please!

Graduate School

<p>I am on the pre-physical therapy track. I have taken General chemistry (got a B+) and received A's in my biology and psychology classes. I am planning NOT to take Organic Chemistry because the graduate schools for PT do not require orgo...however, will it be looked down upon that I basically avoided organic chemistry? I don't want to take it if it is going to lower my GPA and it is not even an important course in PT career path.</p>

<p>Advice please!!</p>

<p>If it’s not considered important and/or required for your specific field, nobody will care.</p>

<p>When I was an undergrad, organic chemistry was a prerequisite course in order to take biochemistry and eukaryotic genetics. While I don’t use much organic chemistry in my day to day life, I wouldn’t be where I am now without training in biochem and genetics. Ask an advisor, that is what they are there for.</p>
